Moore County · North Carolina
Pinehurst was founded in 1895 as a resort village, and its center is now a National Historic Landmark. Outside Old Town, most homes are golf-course and lake houses built since the 1970s, and a large share of owners are retirees who want a re-roof handled cleanly.

On the ground in Pinehurst
Old Town cottages from the early 1900s line the curving lanes laid out by the Olmsted firm, with steep roofs and old decking under them. Building permits inside the village generally come from Pinehurst's own planning and inspections staff, and in the local historic district the village's Historic Preservation Commission weighs in on exterior changes the street can see. Duke Energy Progress serves most of the village. Neighborhoods around Lake Pinehurst and the golf courses are mostly architectural shingle from the 1970s to the 2000s. Longleaf pines tower over almost every lot, and their long needles pile up in valleys and behind arrays, holding water. Tropical storms coming inland bring days of heavy rain.
In Old Town, the question is how a reinstall will look from the village lanes. Around Lake Pinehurst and Pinehurst No. 6, owners often bought the house with solar already on it and have no contact with the installer. In Forest Creek and other gated communities, HOA rules decide panel placement, and needles under the array are a constant chore.

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 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.
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 Pinehurst are generally served by Duke Energy Progress for most of the village. 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.
