Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Fayetteville, NC
Fayetteville is a Fort Bragg town, and houses here change hands often as families move on orders. Plenty of solar systems outlast their first owner's tour, so the person living under the panels today may be a second or third owner with no paperwork from the installer.

Permits, power and roofs in Fayetteville
Most homes buy power from PWC, the Fayetteville Public Works Commission, which is city-owned and sets its own interconnection rules, so a reinstall is coordinated with PWC rather than Duke. The City of Fayetteville handles building permits inside the city limits. Haymount, the old neighborhood on the hill west of downtown, has early 1900s houses, and parts of it fall under historic district rules. Massey Hill has mill-era houses, and the west side along Cliffdale and Raeford roads is mostly 1970s to 2000s brick ranches and two-stories. Hurricane Matthew in 2016 and Florence in 2018 both flooded parts of the city, and a tornado in April 2011 destroyed homes in northwest Fayetteville.
In Haymount, the concern is keeping a reinstall in line with the neighborhood's historic look. Around Bonnie Doone and close to the base, rentals with solar often have nobody watching the system. Gates Four and Kings Grant owners deal with pine shade and needles, and on the west side, orphaned systems left behind by Pink Energy and other failed installers need a new caretaker.

FAQ
Fayetteville: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Fayetteville?
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 Sandhills, 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 Fayetteville?
Homes in Fayetteville are generally served by Fayetteville PWC, the city-owned utility, for most homes in the city. 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.
