Cape Fear Solar Systems
Six Local Neighborhoods Went Solar
This Summer
November 21, 2012
- Wilmington, NC –
Cape Fear Solar
Systems, Wilmington, NC-based leader in
residential and light commercial solar system design and
installation, was first to bring solar this summer to
six local communities: Arbor Creek, Compass Point,
Mallory Creek, Palmetto Creek, Waterford and the town of
Sunset Beach.
Coastal residents are increasingly seeking alternative
methods of generating their own power, with solar being
number one in their selection. This past summer was the
most successful period for Cape Fear Solar Systems in
regards to penetrating new areas with solar
installations.
Solar in the Wilmington region is not as common as it is
in the neighborhoods of California or Pennsylvania,
where homeowners can see solar panels on the roofs of
their neighbors, schools or shopping malls. However,
North Carolina holds a respectable 11th place in grid
tied photovoltaic installations in the United States.
North Carolina property owners are increasingly
recognizing the abundance of the sun’s energy and the
saving benefits that solar systems bring to their
budgets. Due to the lack of familiarity with solar
technology, many homeowners in Southeastern North
Carolina are reluctant to take the pro-active step in
becoming more energy independent. A common concern of
the property owners is the local Homeowner Association’s
approval of the solar panel installation.
The North Carolina’s Solar Access Law (HB 1387 of 2009)
prevents Homeowner Associations from adopting ordinances
prohibiting the installation of solar systems.
Nevertheless, it does not apply to cases where the solar
panels are to be located on the front of the house. If
the home’s south facing side is also the street side,
the Homeowner Associations may prevent the realization
of the solar panel installation.
“We rarely experience a homeowner being turned down by
the HOA,” states Tim Suddoth, Technical Sales
Representative at Cape Fear Solar Systems. “However,
HOAs often do not have established guidelines related to
solar. In those situations, we work directly with the
HOA and support them in their efforts to create
guidelines for their community,” Suddoth highlights.
Cape Fear Solar Systems’ engagement in promoting the use
of solar energy and close involvement with the local
Homeowner Associations has resulted in the proliferation
of solar power adoption in our region. Congratulation to
the communities of Arbor Creek, Compass Point, Mallory
Creek, Palmetto Creek, Waterford and the town of Sunset
Beach for becoming progressively green and
environmentally friendly!
