Permits, power and roofs in Hoke County
The east side is full of 2000s and 2010s subdivisions with vinyl siding and architectural shingles, many on lots cut out of pine woods. Lumbee River EMC serves a large part of the county and Duke Energy Progress much of the rest, each with its own forms for a home system. Permits come from Hoke County outside Raeford, and city addresses may go through Raeford itself. The EF3 tornado of April 16, 2011, which went on to hit Fayetteville, touched down near Raeford. Longleaf and loblolly pines drop needles that bank up behind panels, and spring pollen coats everything.
Around Rockfish and the subdivisions near the Fayetteville line, a house often changes hands when its military owner is reassigned, and the buyer inherits a system with no paperwork. In Raeford, older roofs under big pines are the usual problem. Out in the farm country, it is often a system whose installer has closed.

FAQ
Hoke County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Hoke 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 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 Hoke County?
Homes in Hoke County are generally served by Duke Energy Progress and Lumbee River EMC, which split the county by area. 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.
