How we cover it
Art of Solar is a Florida solar company, so there is no van around the corner in Goldsboro. Call or text the address, the panel count and what is going on, and you get a straight answer: what the job needs, roughly what it costs, and whether we can take it on or who should.
On the ground in Goldsboro
Inside the city limits, permits and inspections come from Goldsboro's own inspections office, while the county covers addresses just outside. Duke Energy Progress supplies the city, and it should hear about the job before a net-metered system goes back into service after a roof replacement. The Neuse runs along the south side of town and the Little River along the west, and big storms such as Floyd and Matthew put water into low parts of town, so a meter, inverter or disconnect near the ground there may already have been replaced once. Most roofs are asphalt shingle over trusses, with plank decking on the older houses downtown. Pines and water oaks shade many lots, summer storms drop limbs on arrays, and squirrels find the wiring underneath.
Families selling ahead of a move often see a roof flagged on the buyer's inspection, and the panels have to come off and go back on before closing. Near Herman Park and the older streets around Union Station, a re-roof can turn up tired decking and old wiring. Along Berkeley Boulevard and in the newer subdivisions, the trouble is more often a system whose installer has disappeared.

FAQ
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.
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 Goldsboro 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.
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.

The address, roughly how many panels, who installed them if you know, and what is happening. A photo of the array from the street and one of the inverter get you an accurate number fastest, and texting them is the quickest way to send them.
