Wake County · North Carolina
Holly Springs was a small crossroads until sewer lines arrived in the late 1980s. It has been building ever since, and most of its houses went up after 1995, so solar here sits on newer construction, usually under HOA rules, and the first big wave of re-roofs is starting now.

How we cover it
Art of Solar is a Florida solar company, so there is no van around the corner in Holly Springs. 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 Holly Springs
The housing is mostly two-story builder houses from the late 1990s on, with architectural shingle roofs, cut-up rooflines full of valleys, and HOA architectural committees that approved the original array. Valleys matter because water runs through them, and a mount set too close to one is a common leak point. Holly Springs handles its own building permits and inspections, and Duke Energy Progress serves the town. A tornado struck near the town center in April 2011 and damaged homes, trees and buildings along its path. Spring hail is the main recurring risk, and the pollen season leaves a film on panels that rain alone does not always clear.
In 12 Oaks and Sunset Ridge, the HOA approval for the original array is the document everyone needs before a re-roof. Homes around Bass Lake have mature trees that now shade arrays installed a decade ago. The first wave of late-1990s roofs is reaching the end of its life with panels still on top.

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 Research Triangle, 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 Holly Springs 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.
