Permits, power and roofs in Bertie County
Since the towns are small, the county inspections office in Windsor handles most permits. Dominion Energy North Carolina serves Windsor and much of the county, Roanoke Cooperative is based in Aulander and covers a large rural share, and Edgecombe-Martin County EMC reaches into the county as well. The deadliest tornado of the April 2011 outbreak, an EF3, crossed the county near Askewville and killed twelve people. Downtown Windsor sits low beside the Cashie River and has flooded in big storms, so equipment mounted low on a wall is a liability there. Older farmhouses and outbuildings often wear metal, and the attachments have to suit that profile.
Askewville sits along the path of the 2011 tornado, and storm-repaired roofs there are worth checking under any array. In the Windsor Historic District, older houses have steep roofs and fragile decking. Merry Hill, out toward the sound, is more exposed to wind off open water. Aulander and Lewiston Woodville are farm towns, and a pole or ground mount there avoids the trouble of an old farmhouse roof.

FAQ
Bertie County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Bertie County?
Often, yes, when it is planned. Art of Solar is a Florida solar company, so North Carolina work is booked ahead and grouped with other jobs in Eastern Coastal Plain, and it only goes ahead with the North Carolina 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 North Carolina?
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.
Who reconnects the system in Bertie County?
Homes in Bertie County are generally served by Dominion Energy North Carolina and Roanoke Cooperative, with Edgecombe-Martin County EMC in places. 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.
