Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Turner County, GA
Hurricane Michael destroyed Ashburn's roadside peanut statue in 2018, and the town rebuilt it. Turner County roofs went through the same storm, and the year before, the long-track tornado from Albany crossed the county too, so a fair number of roofs here date from 2017 or 2018.

Permits, power and roofs in Turner County
Ashburn's city hall is the place to start for permits in town, and Turner County covers the rural addresses. Three co-ops split the countryside, Irwin EMC, Middle Georgia EMC and Mitchell EMC, so the first step before any disconnect is finding out which one owns the meter and what its interconnection form asks for. Houses run to brick ranches built in the 1960s, older frame homes with metal roofs, and manufactured homes on family land. The January 2017 tornado, an EF3 that began in southern Dougherty County, crossed Worth County and then Turner on its way to Wilcox, damaging homes along a path of more than seventy miles. East of I-75, the land drains toward the Alapaha River, and the fields are flat and open to the wind.
Near Sycamore and Rebecca, farm families with arrays on shops and pole barns often see leaks at the mounts after a decade of hot summers. In Ashburn and along the roads out to I-75, the more common job is a worn shingle roof on a brick ranch, with an array from a seller that no longer answers its phone.

FAQ
Turner County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Turner 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 Turner County?
Homes in Turner County are generally served by Irwin EMC, Middle Georgia EMC and Mitchell EMC share the rural 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.
