Permits, power and roofs in Edgefield County
Edgefield and Johnston are the places to start for addresses in town, and the county handles unincorporated areas. Aiken Electric Cooperative serves much of the county, with Dominion Energy South Carolina in some areas, and the owner of the meter has to clear a reinstalled array before it runs again. Edgefield, the Home of Ten Governors and the base of the National Wild Turkey Federation, has big older houses with steep roofs and old sheathing. Johnston sits in the Ridge peach belt, where packing sheds and farmhouses carry metal roofs. Estimated gusts of 90 to 100 mph put this county near the top of Helene's list in the region, and more than two hundred homes were damaged. Sumter National Forest land and Stevens Creek keep much of the west wooded.
Near Johnston and Trenton, a storm-damaged roof from 2024 with a working array on top is a familiar situation: the panels come off, the roofer finishes, and the array goes back. Around Edgefield's square, owners of older houses want the panels put back neatly, and decking that has been covered for a decade sometimes turns out softer than anyone expected.

FAQ
Edgefield County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Edgefield 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 Aiken and the Savannah River, 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 Edgefield County?
Homes in Edgefield County are generally served by Aiken Electric Cooperative across much of the county, with Dominion Energy South Carolina in parts. 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.
