Permits, power and roofs in Seminole County
Inside Donalsonville and Iron City, the towns look after their own addresses, and the county handles everything else. Three Notch EMC, based on West Second Street in Donalsonville, delivers power to most of the county, so interconnection questions usually start and end in town. Housing is mostly brick ranches and older farmhouses, with fishing cabins and newer houses on the coves of Lake Seminole in the southeast corner. Michael showed how much wind this corner of the state can take, and racking that stayed on through that storm may still have bolts that stretched or loosened. Seminole is the only Georgia county that borders both Alabama and Florida, and Gulf storms coming north out of the Panhandle arrive here early.
Along Lake Seminole and up the Spring Creek arm, lake houses take wind straight off open water, and rail clamps on older systems are worth checking after every tropical storm. West of Donalsonville, on the farms out by Iron City, owners of ground mounts and shop arrays usually want storm damage sorted and the system tested before they decide whether to keep it.

FAQ
Seminole County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Seminole County?
Often, yes, when it is planned. Art of Solar is a Florida solar company, so Georgia work is booked ahead and grouped with other jobs in Southwest Georgia, and it only goes ahead with the Georgia license the work needs. Send the address, the panel count and the roofer's tear-off date for a straight answer.
Who is allowed to work on solar panels in Georgia?
Georgia treats the wiring side of solar as electrical contracting, so taking an array off, fixing it or putting it back belongs with a contractor licensed by the Division of Electrical Contractors of the State Construction Industry Licensing Board. There is no separate solar license, and cities and counties can add their own permit and business license rules.
Who reconnects the system in Seminole County?
Homes in Seminole County are generally served by Three Notch EMC, headquartered in Donalsonville, serves most of the county. When an array goes back on after a roof job the utility usually needs to know, and the building department normally inspects the reinstall before the system is switched back on.
My installer went out of business. Can the system still be fixed?
Usually. The installer's own workmanship warranty is gone, but the panels, inverter and optimizers carry manufacturer warranties that normally still apply, and a dead system is often one failed part rather than a worn-out array.
