Permits, power and roofs in Greenwood County
Inside Greenwood's city limits, the city's own Building Inspection department issues permits, and the county handles everything outside them. Greenwood CPW sells electricity in and around the city, Duke Energy Carolinas has much of the remaining territory, and Little River and Aiken electric cooperatives cover rural edges; the reinstall notice goes to whichever one owns the meter. Mill cottages from the early 1900s often have pyramid hip roofs with little room for panels, while lakefront houses run large and complicated. Wind crosses Lake Greenwood's open water with nothing to slow it, and pines along the coves drop needles that pack under arrays and hold water against the shingles.
Around Lake Greenwood State Park and the coves on the Greenwood side, owners deal with needles under arrays, wind exposure and roofs that need a lift to reach. In the city, older systems on mill-village cottages and houses near Uptown come up when the roof is due, and owners on CPW power ask what a re-roof means for their hookup. Near Ninety Six and Hodges, farmhouse systems sometimes need someone to take over from an installer that has closed.

FAQ
Greenwood County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Greenwood 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 Greenwood County?
Homes in Greenwood County are generally served by Greenwood CPW in and around the city, Duke Energy Carolinas, Little River and Aiken Electric co-ops. 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.
