FAQs
How does your advanced technology improve solar installation efficiency in Altamont?
We use cutting-edge design software, high-performance micro-inverter systems, and drone-based site mapping to capture every possible watt of sunlight. This tech allows us to optimize panel placement for Altamont’s sun path, reduce shading losses, and achieve up to 15 % higher annual energy production compared to conventional layouts.
What incentives or rebates are available for Altamont residents who install solar?
Altamont homeowners can claim the 30 % federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the total system cost. New York State also offers the NY-SUN rebate (currently about $0.20–$0.35 per watt) and a state income-tax credit worth up to $5,000. Additionally, many customers can receive sales-tax exemption on equipment and reduced property-tax assessment for the added home value.
How long does a typical residential installation take from contract to switch-on?
After the agreement is signed, we schedule a site survey within a week. Permitting and utility approvals in Altamont generally take 3–4 weeks. Actual on-roof installation usually takes 1–2 days for an average 7 kW system, followed by final inspection and interconnection (another 1–2 weeks). Most clients see their system turned on within 6–8 weeks total.
Will my solar array still work during winter and cloudy days in Altamont?
Yes. Our high-efficiency monocrystalline panels and micro-inverters perform well in diffuse light, so you’ll still generate power on overcast days—just at a reduced level. Winter production is lower due to shorter daylight hours, but snow reflection and crisp cold temperatures can boost panel output when the modules are clear. Annual system design already accounts for these seasonal variations.
What maintenance is required after installation?
Solar systems are largely maintenance-free. We use panels with self-cleaning glass coatings and sealed micro-inverters rated for 25+ years. We recommend a visual inspection and, if needed, a light rinse once or twice a year to remove pollen or dust buildup. Our monitoring app alerts you (and us) to any performance anomalies, and we provide complimentary service calls for the first 5 years.
How does battery storage integrate with your solar installations?
We offer lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery systems that pair seamlessly with our hybrid inverters. The batteries store surplus solar energy for nighttime use, provide backup during grid outages, and can participate in NY-ISO demand-response programs for extra savings. Systems are modular—starting at 10 kWh and expandable in 5 kWh increments—so you can size storage to match your household’s needs and budget.
