Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Union County, NC
Union County has two very different halves when it comes to solar. The western towns are full of HOA subdivisions with strict architectural rules, while east of Monroe the county is still farmland, with metal-roofed houses, poultry houses and long gravel drives between neighbors. The roofs, the rules and often the utility change on the drive east.

Permits, power and roofs in Union County
Union Power Cooperative is headquartered in Monroe and serves a large part of the county. Duke Energy serves much of the rest, Monroe runs its own city electric system, and Pee Dee Electric reaches the eastern edge toward Anson County. Building Code Enforcement, the county's permit office, covers most of Union, including the unincorporated land around Marshville and Wingate. In Weddington, Marvin and Wesley Chapel, large-lot HOA communities give an architectural committee control over panel placement, though state law limits how far an association can go in banning solar outright. East of Monroe, roofs are on farmhouses, older brick ranches and manufactured homes, and some arrays stand on ground mounts. Hail is the common hazard countywide, and the open fields in the east give thunderstorm winds a clear run at roofs.
Weddington and Marvin homeowners usually face an architectural committee that wants the reinstall to match the original approval down to the conduit. Around Stallings and Wesley Chapel, roofs from the late 1990s are due for replacement under arrays added later. Out past Marshville and Wingate, the issues are older roofs, long drives and installers who sold systems and then disappeared.

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