FAQs
Why is Allardt a good location for installing a solar energy system?
Allardt receives an average of 4.5–5 peak sun-hours per day, which is excellent for photovoltaic production in the Southeast. Combined with Tennessee’s relatively mild winters and high summer air-conditioning loads, solar helps homeowners and businesses cut electricity costs year-round. In addition, Allardt’s electric rates have risen about 2–3 % annually over the past decade, so locking in a predictable, low solar energy cost is financially advantageous.
What advanced technologies do you incorporate in your solar installations?
We design systems around high-efficiency monocrystalline modules, module-level power electronics (micro-inverters or DC optimizers), and smart monitoring gateways. These technologies maximize energy harvest in partial shade, reduce single-point failures, and allow real-time performance tracking by both the owner and our service team. Optional lithium-iron-phosphate battery storage and EV-ready hybrid inverters can be added for backup power or time-of-use rate optimization.
How much can I expect to save, and what is the typical return on investment?
For a medium-sized 7 kW residential array in Allardt, first-year utility bill reductions average $900–$1,100. With the 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and available local incentives, net system cost is typically $13,000–$15,000. That translates to a simple payback of 10–12 years and an internal rate of return between 8 % and 11 %, depending on future utility rate increases. Commercial projects benefit from accelerated depreciation and often see payback in 5–7 years.
What incentives, rebates, or financing options are available for Allardt residents?
1. Federal ITC: A 30 % tax credit on total project cost through 2032. 2. Sales-tax exemption: Tennessee exempts solar equipment from state sales tax when installed by a licensed contractor. 3. TVA Programs: While the Green Power Providers program is closed to new applicants, TVA’s Dispersed Power Production agreement allows surplus generation to be sold at avoided-cost rates. 4. USDA REAP Grants: Rural small businesses and agricultural producers can receive up to a 50 % grant. 5. Low-interest loans and $0-down solar financing are available through our partner lenders with terms from 5 to 20 years.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
1. Site Assessment (1–2 days): We perform a shade analysis, roof or ground-mount evaluation, and gather utility data. 2. Design & Proposal (3–5 days): You receive a detailed layout, production estimate, and financial analysis. 3. Permitting & Utility Approval (2–4 weeks): We handle city/county permits, structural engineering, and TVA interconnection paperwork. 4. Installation (1–3 days for residential, up to 2 weeks for large commercial): Our NABCEP-certified crew mounts panels, wiring, and inverters, following NEC and local code. 5. Inspection & Commissioning (3–7 days): Local inspectors and the utility sign off, then we activate the system and provide monitoring app training. Overall, most residential projects are completed within 4–8 weeks from contract to power-on.
What maintenance, monitoring, and warranties come with the system?
Solar PV has no moving parts, so routine maintenance is minimal—mainly keeping panels free of heavy debris or dust. We include: • 25-year manufacturer warranties on panel performance (≥ 85 % output in year 25). • 12–25-year warranties on inverters or micro-inverters, extendable to 25 years. • 10-year workmanship warranty covering roof penetrations and electrical work. • Free online monitoring with instant alerts for performance deviations. • Optional annual wellness inspections and cleaning services. If any component under warranty fails, we handle the manufacturer claim and replacement labor at no cost to you.
