Permits, power and roofs in Laurens County
For unincorporated addresses, Laurens County Building Codes issues the permits, and the cities of Laurens and Clinton may issue their own inside city limits, so check which side of the line the house is on. Laurens Electric Cooperative serves much of the rural county, the Laurens Commission of Public Works sells power inside much of that city, Clinton runs its own electric system, and Newberry Electric Cooperative reaches parts of the county. Laurens Electric members should let the co-op know before an array is disconnected. Older houses near Presbyterian College and around the Laurens square often have tall, steep roofs over board decking. Lake Greenwood homes face open water and the wind that crosses it, and Sumter National Forest land keeps some rural roofs shaded and damp.
Along the Lake Greenwood shoreline, owners deal with wind off the water and arrays that are awkward to reach from the lake side. In Clinton and Laurens, older homes reveal soft decking and leaks once the panels come off. Newer houses toward Gray Court and the Fountain Inn line are due for their first roof replacement, usually prompted by a hail claim, and the array has to be scheduled around the roofer.

FAQ
Laurens County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Laurens 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 Laurens County?
Homes in Laurens County are generally served by Laurens Electric Cooperative, Laurens CPW, Clinton's city system and Newberry Electric, by address. 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.
