Permits, power and roofs in Stanly County
Badin was built as a company town for the aluminum plant, and its houses have small, steep roofs. Albemarle has early twentieth-century homes near downtown and postwar ranches around them. Along Lake Tillery and Badin Lake, homes sit under hardwoods and pines on steep lots, where shade and needles never let up and roof access is harder than it looks from the road. Permits run through the county's inspections department for the rural areas and most of the towns. Power is split four ways: Albemarle runs its own electric system, Union Power Cooperative serves large rural areas, Pee Dee Electric has a small slice of the county, and Duke Energy serves other parts. The Uwharries and Morrow Mountain bring wind and ice that break limbs onto roofs.
Lake houses on Lake Tillery and Badin Lake bring two recurring problems: shade from big trees and limbs on the roof after storms. Locust and Oakboro are newer, so hail claims and the question of who takes the panels off come up more there. Albemarle homeowners on the city electric system may need help getting a system back in service when its installer has disappeared.

FAQ
Stanly County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Stanly 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 Charlotte Region, 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 Stanly County?
Homes in Stanly County are generally served by City of Albemarle's system, Union Power Cooperative, Pee Dee Electric and Duke Energy, by 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.
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.
