Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Chesterfield County, SC
Chesterfield County is Sandhills country: sand, longleaf pine and towns spread far apart. Solar here sits on brick ranches, farmhouses and the older homes of Cheraw's historic district, often a long drive from whoever installed it. Pageland and Cheraw anchor opposite ends of the county, and the work looks different in each.

Permits, power and roofs in Chesterfield County
Inside Cheraw or Pageland, ask the town about permits first; elsewhere the paperwork goes to the county. Duke Energy Progress serves the Cheraw area, and Lynches River Electric Cooperative, headquartered in Pageland, covers much of the countryside, so the meter decides whose reconnection rules apply. Cheraw's historic district along the Great Pee Dee River has many two-story frame houses with steep roofs and old plank sheathing. Toward McBee and Jefferson the stock turns to brick ranches, farmhouses and manufactured homes. The Carolina Sandhills National Wildlife Refuge and Sand Hills State Forest manage their pine stands with controlled burns, and smoke residue settles on panels downwind. Summer thunderstorms bring the wind and hail that end most roofs here early.
Around Pageland, home of the watermelon festival, and in the peach country near McBee, arrays usually sit on long, simple ranch roofs that are easy to work on but far from any service company. In Cheraw the harder cases are older homes where panels were added without anyone checking the rafters or the flashing first.

FAQ
Chesterfield County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Chesterfield 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 Catawba Region, 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 Chesterfield County?
Homes in Chesterfield County are generally served by Duke Energy Progress around Cheraw, with Lynches River Electric Cooperative across much of the rest. 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.
