FAQs
How much sunlight does Beersheba Springs receive, and is it enough for solar panels to be effective?
Beersheba Springs averages about 4.5–5 peak sun-hours per day over the course of the year, which is well above the 4-hour threshold generally considered excellent for residential solar. This means a properly sized system can generate 60–80 % of a typical home’s annual electricity needs, even after accounting for seasonal variation and weather conditions.
What size solar power system does the average Beersheba Springs home need?
A typical three-bedroom home that uses 1,000–1,200 kWh per month will usually need a 7–9 kW DC array, or roughly 18–24 high-efficiency 400-W modules. We perform an on-site load analysis, evaluate roof orientation and shading, and check your utility bills to tailor the array size, inverter capacity, and battery storage (if desired) to your exact needs.
How long does installation take and what are the main steps?
From signed contract to system turn-on, the timeline is about 4–8 weeks. Key steps include: (1) engineering and permitting (1–2 weeks); (2) ordering materials (1 week); (3) roof or ground-mount preparation (1–2 days); (4) panel, racking, inverter, and electrical service upgrade installation (2–3 days); (5) final inspection and utility interconnection (1–2 weeks). Actual on-site work is typically less than a week, with most of the time spent awaiting permit and utility approvals.
What incentives, rebates, or tax credits can Beersheba Springs residents use to lower the cost of solar?
Homeowners can claim the 30 % Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on both solar panels and battery storage installed before 2032. Tennessee does not levy additional state-level tax credits, but TVA’s Green Connect and local utility programs may provide $500–$1,000 bill credits for approved installations. Solar equipment is also exempt from the state’s sales tax, and property‐tax assessments cannot be raised for the added solar value.
Will my solar panels keep the lights on during a utility outage?
Standard grid-tied systems automatically shut down during an outage for lineworker safety. To maintain power, you’ll need either a hybrid inverter with battery storage or a separate backup generator. We offer lithium-iron-phosphate battery packages (5–30 kWh) that provide seamless whole-home or critical-load backup, recharge daily from the array, and qualify for the same 30 % Federal ITC.
What maintenance is required, and how long will my solar power system last?
Solar panels have no moving parts and require minimal upkeep—an annual rinse or inspection to clear pollen and debris usually suffices. Inverters may need fan filter cleaning and firmware updates. Most panels carry 25-year performance warranties guaranteeing at least 80–85 % output, and real-world life spans often exceed 30 years. We include a 10-year workmanship warranty and remote monitoring so you can track production in real time.
