Permits, power and roofs in Abbeville County

Abbeville County's Building Codes office handles permits outside the towns, and the City of Abbeville may handle addresses within its limits, so confirm before filing anything. Electric service splits several ways: the City of Abbeville and the Town of Due West run their own systems, Little River Electric Cooperative, based in Abbeville, covers much of the countryside, and Laurens Electric serves other parts. Old houses near the square often have tall hipped roofs and original board decking, a few with standing-seam metal. Houses out around Calhoun Falls tend to be lower and simpler. The hazards are spring hail, summer storms and trees, since oaks and pines close to houses drop limbs and leaves that clog the gap under panels.

Around the square and the Abbeville Opera House, owners of older homes may prefer panels kept off street-facing planes, and they find leaks at mounts on tired roofs. In Due West near Erskine College, small systems on older houses need someone who will work on any brand. Around Calhoun Falls, wooded lots and long gaps between roof checks let storm debris pile up under panels.

FAQ

Abbeville County: questions homeowners ask

Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Abbeville County?

Often, yes, when it is planned. Art of Solar is a Florida solar company, so South Carolina work is booked ahead and grouped with other jobs in Upstate, and it only goes ahead with the South 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 South Carolina?

In South Carolina, the mounting and the wiring are licensed separately. A licensed residential builder or a registered roofer handles the roof mounts, and a licensed residential builder, a licensed residential electrician or a mechanical contractor licensed for electrical work handles the wiring. The Residential Builders Commission also registers solar panel installers to assemble and install the panels themselves.

Who reconnects the system in Abbeville County?

Homes in Abbeville County are generally served by Abbeville and Due West municipal systems, with Little River and Laurens Electric co-ops in the countryside. 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.
