Permits, power and roofs in Hertford County
Most permits go through the county inspections office, though Ahoskie and Murfreesboro may handle work inside their limits, so confirm before scheduling. Dominion Energy North Carolina serves Ahoskie and much of the county, and Roanoke Cooperative covers a large rural share; tell the right one before the system is switched back on. The April 2011 tornado that killed twelve people in Bertie County kept going into Hertford County and destroyed more homes, a reminder that eastern storms are not only hurricanes. Older two-story houses near the town centers have steep roofs and aging decking. Pine pollen and needles coat roofs every spring and pack under rails, where they hold moisture against the shingles.
In Murfreesboro's older blocks near Chowan University and around downtown Ahoskie, a re-roof on an older house can uncover decking problems an array has hidden for years. Out by Cofield, near the Nucor steel mill, and around Harrellsville and Como, systems on barns or ground racks wear differently, with wiring and connectors as the weak points.

FAQ
Hertford County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Hertford 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 Hertford County?
Homes in Hertford County are generally served by Dominion Energy North Carolina, with Roanoke Cooperative across much of the countryside. 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.
