Piedmont Triad · county seat Yanceyville
Caswell County is old tobacco country on the Virginia line, with few subdivisions. Most homes are farmhouses and brick ranches, and solar here is often on a farmhouse roof, a barn or a ground mount. The main problems are age, metal roofing and long distances to any service company.

On the ground in Caswell County
Metal roofs are everywhere in Caswell, and they change the job: panels mount with clamps or brackets rather than lag bolts, and an array mounted wrong on one can leak at every penetration. The housing is old. Yanceyville's historic district has nineteenth-century homes around the courthouse, Milton has antebellum buildings near the Dan River, and farmhouses across the county often have standing-seam or ribbed metal roofs. The county's building inspections office in Yanceyville issues permits. Piedmont Electric Membership Corporation serves much of the countryside, and Duke Energy serves other areas. Tall pines and hardwoods surround most homes, so shade and debris build up. Ice storms hit this part of the Piedmont regularly, and snow can sit for days on north-facing slopes.
Few local companies will touch panels on an older Caswell roof, so owners near Yanceyville and Prospect Hill often wait a long time for help with a worn roof under a small array. Around Milton and Semora, homes on large lots sit in the shade of tall pines. Barn-mounted systems on farms need wiring repairs after storms, or after rodents get into the conduit.

Art of Solar is a Florida solar company, so North Carolina work is booked ahead and grouped with other jobs in Piedmont Triad, and it only goes ahead with the North Carolina license the work needs.

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 Caswell County are generally served by Piedmont Electric across much of the county, with Duke Energy in parts. 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.
