Permits, power and roofs in Robeson County
After the floods, inverters and disconnects mounted low on outside walls are worth checking even when the roof itself was never touched. Power is a patchwork: Lumberton and Red Springs run town electric systems, Lumbee River EMC serves much of the countryside, Brunswick Electric covers some of the county, and Duke Energy Progress serves other areas. A reinstall goes back through whichever one owns the meter. Robeson County issues permits outside the city limits, and Lumberton generally handles its own. Most homes are brick ranches and frame farmhouses, with metal roofs common out in the country. Hot, humid summers keep mildew growing under shaded arrays.
Older frame houses around Pembroke and Red Springs often need roof work before an aging system can stay up. In Fairmont and St. Pauls, the usual story is an installer that went out of business. In Lumberton, owners who rebuilt after the floods sometimes have panels that came off for repairs and never went back up.

FAQ
Robeson County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Robeson 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 Robeson County?
Homes in Robeson County are generally served by Lumbee River EMC, Duke Energy Progress and Brunswick Electric, with town systems in Lumberton and Red Springs. 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.
