FAQs
How will a solar installation benefit my home or business in Apison?
Apison averages more than 210 sunny days per year, making it ideal for solar generation. A properly sized PV system can offset 70–100 % of your annual electricity use, protect you from TVA rate hikes, and add resale value to your property. Because we design with high-efficiency panels and smart inverters, most clients see a 7- to 10-year payback and 25+ years of virtually free energy after that.
What cutting-edge technologies do you incorporate into your solar projects?
We specify Tier-1 monocrystalline modules with half-cut cell architecture for better low-light performance, module-level power electronics (MLPE) such as Enphase IQ8 micro-inverters for rapid shutdown compliance, and lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery storage for longer cycle life. Every system includes real-time monitoring through an encrypted cloud portal so you can track production, consumption, and battery state of charge from any device.
How long does the installation process take, and what permits are required in Apison?
A typical 10 kW residential project follows this timeline: • Site evaluation & shade analysis: 1 day • Engineering & TVA/EPB interconnection paperwork: 1–2 weeks • Hamilton County electrical and building permits: 1 week (in parallel) • On-site installation: 2–3 days for roof-mount, 4–5 days for ground-mount • Final inspection & utility PTO (permission to operate): 3–7 business days Overall, expect 4–6 weeks from contract signing to system energization. We handle all permitting, drawings, and utility coordination for you.
What incentives or financing options are available for Apison residents?
1. Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): 30 % of total system cost through 2032, including batteries. 2. TVA Green Connect: $0.02 per kWh premium for excess energy exported (subject to annual program caps). 3. Local property tax exemption: Solar equipment is exempt from Tennessee state property tax assessments. 4. Low-interest solar loans: We partner with regional credit unions offering 2.99 %–5.49 % APR, no lien on your home, and terms up to 15 years. Our team will calculate expected savings and integrate incentives into your personalized financial proposal.
Can I add battery storage and still stay connected to the grid?
Absolutely. We specialize in hybrid systems that allow seamless switching between solar, battery, and grid power. During daylight, panels run your loads and charge the battery; at night or during outages, the battery keeps critical circuits energized. With smart inverters you can set priorities—self-consumption, time-of-use arbitrage, or backup reserve—directly from the mobile app. You stay grid-tied for net metering and still enjoy backup power when the grid is down.
What maintenance and warranty support do you provide after installation?
Solar arrays are largely maintenance-free, but we include a complimentary annual inspection for the first 5 years. You’ll receive: • 25-year manufacturer warranty on panels (performance and workmanship) • 25-year warranty on micro-inverters • 10-year warranty on batteries, extendable to 15 years • 10-year craftsmanship warranty on our labor Our monitoring platform flags performance issues automatically, and our local Apison service crew can usually resolve any problem within 48 hours.
