Permits, power and roofs in Spalding County
Griffin issues its own building permits, and Spalding County's office handles unincorporated areas such as Experiment and East Griffin. Griffin Power, the city's utility and a MEAG Power member, serves much of Griffin and parts of the county, while Southern Rivers Energy, Central Georgia EMC and Georgia Power serve the rest. Their interconnection rules differ, so a reinstall has to go through whichever one serves the address. Older houses in Griffin's historic neighborhoods have steep roofs and plank decking, often re-roofed over older layers. The January 12, 2023 tornado that crossed the west side of Griffin injured more than a dozen people and damaged homes along its path. Hail and thunderstorms are the everyday threats.
Around Experiment, the community named for the old agricultural experiment station that is now UGA's Griffin campus, brick ranches carry small arrays on low roofs. In Griffin's historic districts, steep roofs and old decking turn a simple reinstall into a careful one. On the west side, where the 2023 tornado hit, many roofs are new, and any array that came off during repairs deserves a proper inspection before it runs again.

FAQ
Spalding County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Spalding 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 Metro Atlanta, 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 Spalding County?
Homes in Spalding County are generally served by Griffin Power in and around Griffin, with Southern Rivers Energy, Central Georgia EMC and Georgia Power. 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.
