Permits, power and roofs in Greenville County

Greenville County Building Safety issues permits only for unincorporated addresses, so a house inside Greenville, Greer, Mauldin or Simpsonville goes through that city's office instead. Most departments want an electrical permit and an inspection for a reinstall. Duke Energy Carolinas serves most of the county. Blue Ridge Electric Cooperative takes in parts of the northern end and Laurens Electric Cooperative parts of the south, and a co-op member should clear the reinstall with the co-op before the array comes down. Around Tigerville, Gowensville and Caesars Head, more roofs are metal, drives get steep and ice storms are the winter risk. Across the southern half, much of the stock is 1970s to 2000s houses under architectural shingles, and spring hail is a common reason for an insurance re-roof.

In Five Forks and Wade Hampton, the usual starting point is a hail claim on a roof about twenty years old, with panels that must come off before a single shingle can. North toward Travelers Rest and Slater-Marietta it is more often a Helene limb that bent a rail, or a leak that began at a mount. Owners near Caesars Head and The Cliffs Valley also want shade checked, since hardwoods keep gaining on their arrays.
