Permits, power and roofs in Montgomery County
Lake houses on Tillery and Badin are often reached by steep driveways, with the roof dropping toward the water, so staging and ladder placement shape the job. Oaks and hickories on those lots shade arrays and drop limbs in storms. Inland farmhouses may have standing-seam or exposed-fastener metal roofs, and on older shingle roofs the shingles are often past due by the time anyone thinks about the panels. The county issues building permits outside town limits. Randolph EMC and Pee Dee Electric serve much of the countryside, and Duke Energy Progress, which runs the Tillery hydro plant on the Pee Dee River, serves other areas.
On Lake Tillery, a re-roof on a lake house usually means panels coming down from a steep, tree-lined roof above the water. Around Candor's peach orchards and Biscoe, older systems with no installer left to support them are common. Near Troy and Star, the trouble is more often a leak traced to a mount, or a farmhouse roof ready for replacement.

FAQ
Montgomery County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Montgomery 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 Montgomery County?
Homes in Montgomery County are generally served by Duke Energy Progress, with Randolph EMC and Pee Dee Electric serving much of the rural county. 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.
