FAQs
What solar installation and electrical services do you provide in Bean Station?
We handle the entire process—site evaluation, custom system design, permitting, utility interconnection, electrical upgrades, panel mounting, inverter installation, and system commissioning. Whether you need a rooftop or ground-mount array, grid-tied or hybrid battery backup, our licensed electricians ensure every component meets Tennessee building codes and NEC standards.
How much can I save on my electric bill with solar in Bean Station?
Most residential customers offset 70–100 % of their annual utility usage. With TVA’s residential rate averaging about 12¢/kWh, a typical 8 kW system can save $900–$1,200 per year and pay for itself in 8–11 years. Savings continue for 25-plus years, and panels carry performance warranties that guarantee at least 80 % output after 25 years.
What incentives or financing options are available for Bean Station homeowners?
You can claim the 30 % Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the full installed cost. Some local financial institutions offer low-interest “green energy” loans with terms up to 15 years, and we partner with lenders that provide $0-down solar-specific financing. TVA’s Green Connect program also offers performance-based credits for excess energy in certain rate classes.
What is the installation timeline and what should I expect?
From signed contract to power-on typically takes 6–10 weeks. Week 1–2: site survey, structural evaluation, and design. Week 2–4: permitting with Grainger County, TVA interconnection paperwork, and material procurement. Week 5–6: our crew installs racking, wiring, and panels—usually 1–3 days on-site. Week 7–8: electrical inspection and utility meter swap. Week 8–10: system commissioning, monitoring setup, and final walkthrough with your project manager.
Will my solar system operate during power outages, and is net metering available?
A standard grid-tied array shuts down when the grid goes out for safety, but we offer hybrid inverters and lithium-ion battery banks that keep essential circuits powered. Tennessee does not have traditional one-for-one net metering; instead, TVA credits excess production at the avoided-cost rate (roughly 4–6¢/kWh). We size systems to maximize self-consumption and take advantage of TVA’s programs when available.
What maintenance and monitoring services do you offer after installation?
Solar arrays are largely maintenance-free, but we provide a 5-year workmanship warranty and annual performance checkups. Online monitoring (web and mobile app) lets you track production in real time; we receive alerts if output drops so we can schedule service. Optional maintenance plans include panel cleaning, thermal imaging, and system re-certification every 3–5 years to keep your warranty valid.
