Permits, power and roofs in Cary
Housing comes in waves. Russell Hills and Veteran Hills have early 1950s ranches. Kildaire Farms, the state's first planned unit development, came next, then MacGregor Downs and Lochmere, then Preston and the 2000s builds out west. The Town of Cary runs its own inspections and permits, including for the parts of town that cross into Chatham and Durham counties, and Duke Energy Progress serves Cary homes. Neighborhoods like Farmington Woods and Greenwood Forest were laid out around their trees, so shade on older arrays only grows. Spring pine pollen and fall oak leaves both collect under panels. Hail is a frequent reason roofs here are replaced before their time.
In Lochmere and Preston, the HOA usually wants the array back in exactly the approved layout. MacGregor Downs and Kildaire Farms houses are old enough that a re-roof can turn up soft decking around the mounts. Amberly owners tend to have newer systems, some from installers that have already closed.

FAQ
Cary: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Cary?
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 Research Triangle, 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 Cary?
Homes in Cary are generally served by Duke Energy Progress. 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.
