Charlotte Region · county seat Wadesboro

On the ground in Anson County
Pee Dee Electric, based in Wadesboro, serves most of the rural county, and Duke Energy Progress serves Wadesboro and nearby areas. A reinstalled system should be cleared with whichever one holds the account. Building permits come from the county's inspections office, which also serves most of the small towns. Wadesboro's older streets have late 1800s and early 1900s homes with steep roofs and old decking. Much of the rest of the county is farmhouses with metal roofs, brick ranches and manufactured homes, and some systems sit on ground mounts or barns rather than the house. Tall loblolly pines shade roofs and drop needles that pile up under panels. Remnants of tropical storms bring heavy rain and wind some years, and strong spring thunderstorms carry hail.
Wadesboro's older houses often have a worn roof under a small array from an installer that has since closed. Farther out, near Lilesville, Morven and the river, farm properties have metal roofs and outbuildings that need different mounting hardware. Along US 74 through Polkton and Peachland, fast-growing pines are the steady complaint.

In North Carolina, a solar job of any size has to be contracted and permitted by a contractor licensed by the State Board of Examiners of Electrical Contractors: a limited, intermediate or unlimited electrical license, or the special restricted single-family dwelling license for work on a detached house. A general contractor may work under that electrician, and there is no separate solar license.
Homes in Anson County are generally served by Pee Dee Electric across most of the countryside, Duke Energy Progress in and around Wadesboro. 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.
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.
