On the ground in Randolph County
Randolph Electric Membership Corporation, based in Asheboro, serves much of the rural county, Duke Energy serves most of the towns, and EnergyUnited reaches into some areas. The county's inspections office handles permits outside city limits, and the larger towns, such as Asheboro and Archdale, may run their own permit counters. The roof stock is older than in the suburbs to the north: 1940s to 1960s ranches in Asheboro, mill houses in Randleman, Ramseur and Franklinville, and farmhouses with metal roofs across the countryside. The Uwharrie National Forest and the hills around the zoo bring tall hardwoods and ice-storm limb damage. Spring hail and strong thunderstorms are the main reasons homeowners need a new roof under their panels.
In Archdale and Trinity, close to High Point, systems from the 2010s sit on roofs that are now due, and some owners find their installer closed. Around Asheboro and the North Carolina Zoo, older ranches with tall oaks overhead are a common setting for a re-roof. Near Seagrove, Liberty and Ramseur, farm properties with metal roofs and ground mounts need different hardware and a careful look at wiring that animals may have chewed.

Art of Solar is a Florida solar company, so North Carolina work is booked ahead and grouped with other jobs in Piedmont Triad, and it only goes ahead with the North Carolina license the work needs.

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 Randolph County are generally served by Duke Energy, Randolph EMC and EnergyUnited, depending on the area. 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.
