Solar panel removal, reinstall & repair in Spartanburg County, SC
Since BMW arrived in the 1990s, subdivisions have filled the fields around Duncan and Lyman. Boiling Springs, north of the city, has grown quickly too. The older mill villages, Pacolet, Clifton and Inman Mills among them, kept their small frame houses, and the foothills near Landrum and Campobello add farmhouses and cabins with metal roofs.

Permits, power and roofs in Spartanburg County
The county's building codes office permits work in the unincorporated areas, which hold a large share of the population, Boiling Springs and Roebuck included; towns such as Duncan, Lyman and Landrum may handle their own, so start with the address. Duke Energy Carolinas serves most homes, and Laurens, Broad River and Blue Ridge electric cooperatives plus Lockhart Power cover most of the rest, each with its own steps for a system coming back online. The roof stock runs from vinyl-sided two-stories built since the 1990s to brick ranches and metal-roofed farmhouses. Spring hail is a steady cause of insurance re-roofs here, and the foothills can catch ice that snaps limbs onto roofs.
In Boiling Springs and around Lake Bowen, houses from the 2000s are reaching their first re-roof, often after a hail claim, and the panels have to come down first. Toward Chesnee, Cowpens and Woodruff, more systems sit on farmhouses and shop buildings, where the trouble is squirrel-chewed wiring and leaks at mounts on old metal. Pink Energy's 2022 shutdown also left owners across the Carolinas with no installer to service their systems.

FAQ
Spartanburg County: questions homeowners ask
Can you take solar panels off for a new roof in Spartanburg 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 Spartanburg County?
Homes in Spartanburg County are generally served by Duke Energy Carolinas in most areas; Laurens, Broad River and Blue Ridge co-ops and Lockhart Power in others. 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.
