Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Woodstock, GA
Woodstock grew from a railroad stop into one of the country's fastest-growing suburbs. Towne Lake, partly inside the city and partly in unincorporated Cherokee, holds a large share of the area's late-1980s and 1990s houses, and their first roofs are wearing out at about the same time.

Permits, power and roofs in Woodstock
Inside the city, permits come from the Building and Safety Division within Woodstock's community development department, which also handles tree removal requests. Addresses in the unincorporated parts of Towne Lake permit through Cherokee County instead. Cobb EMC and Georgia Power both serve the area, and the reinstall paperwork belongs with the one that sends the bill. The 1990s two-stories have steep front gables and broad rear planes, often over OSB that has already carried one roof. Lots back onto Noonday Creek, the Little River and the Corps of Engineers land around Lake Allatoona, so tall pines and sweetgums are the norm, and their needles and spiky seed balls collect under arrays. Squirrels nest in the gap where panels sit close to the shingles.
In Towne Lake, the common pattern is a 1990s house on its second roof, with an association that wants the array put back exactly where it was. Near downtown and the Greenprints trails, newer townhomes and small-lot houses have few arrays but tight access. Along Noonday Creek, where the trees are tallest, shading has crept up on systems that were installed in full sun.

FAQ
Woodstock: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Woodstock?
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 Woodstock?
Homes in Woodstock are generally served by Cobb EMC and Georgia Power, depending on the street. 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.
