Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Rockingham County, NC
On the Virginia line, Rockingham County is older and more rural than most of the Triad. Eden, Mayodan and Madison grew around mills on the Dan, Smith and Mayo rivers, Reidsville has early twentieth-century homes, and solar on those roofs needs extra care with decking and pitch.

Permits, power and roofs in Rockingham County
Eden grew from three mill towns, Leaksville, Spray and Draper, which merged in 1967, and their mill houses still have small, low-pitched roofs. Reidsville's older neighborhoods have large homes with steep roofs and big trees, and Mayodan and Madison have mill-era houses along the Mayo River. The middle of the county around Wentworth is farmhouses and brick ranches. The county's inspections office issues building permits for the unincorporated county, and homes inside Eden or Reidsville should check with the city first. Duke Energy serves most homes, and EnergyUnited covers some rural areas. Ice storms are the biggest risk, and the Dan River valley can hold cold air that turns rain to ice.
Small mill-house roofs in Eden's old Leaksville and Draper neighborhoods leave no room to rearrange panels during a re-roof. Reidsville's larger older homes, under tall oaks, deal with shade and limb damage. Out in Stoneville, Madison and the farm country near Wentworth, owners of systems from closed installers struggle to find anyone to work on the inverter or wiring.

FAQ
Rockingham County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Rockingham 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 Piedmont Triad, 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 Rockingham County?
Homes in Rockingham County are generally served by Duke Energy for most homes, EnergyUnited in some rural areas. 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.
