Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in High Point, NC
Unlike Greensboro and Winston-Salem, High Point runs its own electric utility. Homes on that system interconnect with the city instead of Duke Energy, so a reinstall after a new roof involves High Point twice: once for the permit and again for the meter. The furniture showrooms get the attention, but most solar sits on the houses around them.

Permits, power and roofs in High Point
The city reaches into four counties, Guilford, Randolph, Davidson and Forsyth, and High Point's own inspections office issues the building and electrical permits inside its limits. High Point Electric serves much of the city, with Duke Energy in some areas, and owners on the city system should expect the utility to want its interconnection paperwork in order before a reinstalled array goes back into service. The roof stock follows the furniture industry's history. Emerywood and the Uptown Suburbs district have 1920s and 1930s revival-style houses with steep roofs, the Highland Cotton Mills village has small mill houses, and the north side around Oak Hollow Lake is mostly suburban houses from the 1980s on. Ice and wind are the hazards here, and the March 2010 tornado tore through neighborhoods on the north side.
Near Oak Hollow Lake and along Eastchester Drive, a hail-battered roof under a system from the 2010s is the familiar setup. In Emerywood and the older streets near the showrooms, the hard parts are old decking and steep pitches. Owners on the city electric system who bought from a closed installer may have to rebuild the paperwork trail before anything goes back on.

FAQ
High Point: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in High Point?
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 Piedmont Triad, 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 High Point?
Homes in High Point are generally served by The city's own High Point Electric for much of the city, Duke Energy in other 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.
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.
