Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Scotland County, NC
Laurinburg sits in the middle of Scotland County, with farmland running east to the Lumber River. Hurricane Florence hit the county hard in 2018, and roofs replaced after it are now about eight years into their life. Part of the county lies in the Sandhills, where longleaf pine takes over.

Permits, power and roofs in Scotland County
Laurinburg runs its own electric system as an ElectriCities member, so homes in town interconnect with the city rather than Duke. Outside it, Duke Energy Progress, Lumbee River EMC and Pee Dee Electric split the county. Permits come from Scotland County outside Laurinburg, and city addresses may go through Laurinburg itself. The housing is mostly brick ranches, older frame houses in town and farmhouses with metal roofs. Longleaf pine in the Sandhills Game Land drops needles that pack under arrays, and the coast is close enough that tropical storms bring days of rain and gusty wind.
On Laurinburg's city system, a reinstall is a good moment to confirm the utility still has the system on file correctly. Near Laurel Hill and Wagram, older systems on farmhouses with no installer left are typical. Around Gibson and Old Hundred, pines that grew up beside the house now shade half the array.

FAQ
Scotland County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Scotland 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 Scotland County?
Homes in Scotland County are generally served by Laurinburg's town electric system, plus Duke Energy Progress, Lumbee River EMC and Pee Dee Electric. 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.
