FAQs
Is Church Hill a good location for solar power, given our climate and sunlight levels?
Yes. Church Hill enjoys an average of 4–5 peak sun-hours per day across the year, which is more than enough to make photovoltaic (PV) panels productive. Modern high-efficiency panels still generate power on cloudy days, and net-metering with Holston Electric Cooperative (or your local utility) lets you bank excess summer production to offset winter usage.
What types of solar systems do you install and how do I choose the right one?
We design and install three main system types: 1) Grid-tied PV without batteries—lowest cost and eligible for net-metering credits; 2) Hybrid (grid-tied with battery storage)—keeps your lights on during outages and lets you use stored solar power at night; 3) Off-grid systems—ideal for remote cabins or customers who want full energy independence. We start with a free site assessment, analyze your electricity bills, roof orientation, shading, and budget, then model system performance so you can decide which setup meets your goals.
How much can I expect to save on my electric bill after installing solar?
Savings vary with system size, roof orientation, and consumption patterns, but most Church Hill homeowners cut utility bills by 60-90 %. A typical 7 kW residential array can generate about 9,500 kWh per year—worth roughly $1,200 in avoided utility charges. With the 30 % federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and current equipment prices, simple payback is often 8-11 years, while panels carry 25-year power-output warranties.
What incentives or financing options are available for Church Hill residents and businesses?
1) Federal ITC: 30 % credit on the total installed cost for residential and commercial systems through 2032. 2) Accelerated depreciation (MACRS) for businesses, boosting ROI. 3) TVA Green Connect and local utility net-metering programs that credit excess generation. 4) Low-interest solar loans through regional banks and the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA REAP) for qualifying rural businesses. 5) Non-profit grants for schools, churches, and municipal buildings. We handle all paperwork and rebate applications on your behalf.
How long does it take from signing the contract to having my solar system switched on?
The typical timeline is 6–10 weeks: • Site assessment & proposal: 1 week • Permitting, utility interconnection, and financing approval: 3–4 weeks • Equipment ordering and installation scheduling: 1–2 weeks • On-site installation: 1–3 days for residential, 1–2 weeks for commercial arrays • Utility inspection & meter swap: 1–2 weeks We coordinate each step and keep you updated, so your only job is to watch the meter spin backward once the utility gives the final approval.
What maintenance is required and what warranties do you provide?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free. We recommend a visual inspection once or twice a year and rinsing panels if heavy dust or pollen accumulates. Our packages include: • 25-year manufacturer warranty on panel power output (at least 85 % of nameplate). • 10–25 years on inverters, depending on model; extended warranties available. • 10-year craftsmanship warranty covering roof penetrations, wiring, and mounting hardware. We offer optional remote monitoring and annual performance checks to ensure your system continues operating at peak efficiency for decades.
