I have a pretty good handle on the codes, county requirements, and Duke/Progress Energy requirements for a grid tied net metering solar system and a design for what I want to do.
My sticking point is about 200’ of trenching in rocky soil about 18-24” deep. Lots of rocks - I don’t know whether any are large enough to be a show-stopper, or whether major obstacles allow a variance in burial depth code. How do I go about finding someone that can do the trenching? (Chatham county) I don’t think it would be a good use of time or risk for me to rent a mini-ex and try to learn to DIY that as well. I’d like to get the trenching done and then once I know that is feasible, get all the permits, lay conduit, and do the install.
Thanks
