Permits, power and roofs in Jones County
Most permits come through the county inspections office in Trenton, since the towns are tiny. Jones-Onslow EMC serves much of the county, with Duke Energy Progress and Tri-County EMC in some areas, and each has its own steps for reconnecting a reinstalled system. Florence in 2018 stalled over this part of the state and sent the Trent River and its creeks over their banks. Tall loblolly and longleaf pines stand close to many houses, and their needles and cones pile up under arrays. Manufactured homes and older farmhouses make up much of the housing, and both can need structural work before panels go back on. Hurricane wind pushes rain sideways into any loose roof penetration.
Around Pollocksville and Trenton, homes near the Trent River have flood history, so inverters and disconnects mounted low are worth raising during a reinstall. In Maysville and along the edge of the Croatan, pine shade and pine straw are the steady problems, and storm-driven rain finds any mount that was not flashed properly.

FAQ
Jones County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Jones 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 Jones County?
Homes in Jones County are generally served by Jones-Onslow EMC across much of the county, with Duke Energy Progress and Tri-County EMC in places. 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.
