Permits, power and roofs in Lexington County
Red Bank, Oak Grove and Seven Oaks have no town government, so permits there come from the county's building services staff, and the bigger towns keep their own permit desks. Dominion Energy South Carolina and Mid-Carolina Electric Cooperative, based in Lexington, split most of the county, with Aiken Electric, Newberry Electric and Tri-County Electric serving its corners. The meter's owner sets the terms for switching a system back on after the roofers leave. Lake houses around Chapin and the lower lake often have chopped-up roofs with several planes and dormers. Around Gilbert's peach orchards and down toward Pelion and Swansea, the stock is mostly brick ranches and farmhouses, with plenty of manufactured homes under tall pines. Weather service estimates had Helene gusting to 70 or 80 mph over the county in 2024.
Around Chapin and the Lake Murray coves, a lake house with a steep, many-sided roof is the hardest version of a detach and reset, because every mount on the new shingles needs fresh flashing and the layout has to clear the dormers again. In the sandhills near Pelion and Swansea, pine needles and pollen packed under the panels hold moisture against the shingles until a stain appears on the ceiling below.

FAQ
Lexington County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Lexington 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 Midlands, 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 Lexington County?
Homes in Lexington County are generally served by Dominion Energy South Carolina and Mid-Carolina Electric, with Aiken, Newberry and Tri-County 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.
