Permits, power and roofs in Jackson County

The county's permitting office covers the unincorporated land, which is most of Jackson. Duke Energy Carolinas and Haywood EMC divide the power service, so the first question before a detach is which one holds the interconnection agreement. Elevation sets the hazards. Cashiers gets far more snow and ice than Sylva, and a south-facing array can drop a slab of wet snow onto a deck in one slide. Gated golf communities on the plateau often have architectural committees that care how an array looks from the fairway. In the Tuckasegee valley the risk is shade and falling wood, including dead hemlocks killed by the woolly adelgid, which drop limbs and sometimes whole trunks onto roofs.

Landlords near Cullowhee often learn about the panels only when a tenant reports a drip, and the array has to come down before a roofer will start. On the Cashiers end, around Lake Glenville and the gated clubs, the job tends to be a reinstall on an expensive roof where the association wants the layout to match its approved plan.
