FAQs
What types of solar power systems do you install for Briceville homes and businesses?
We design and install grid-tied, grid-tied with battery backup, and completely off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems. All are built around high-efficiency mono-crystalline panels, UL-listed inverters, and rapid-shutdown safety devices that meet the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) requirements. During your free on-site assessment, we examine roof orientation, shading, structural integrity, and your historical kWh usage to recommend the most cost-effective system for your specific property.
How long does the solar installation process take from the initial consultation to a fully operational system?
For a typical residential project the timeline is 6–10 weeks: • 1–2 weeks: Site visit, load analysis, and proposal approval. • 2–3 weeks: Permitting, utility interconnection paperwork with TVA or your local power authority, and material ordering. • 1–3 days: Physical installation of racking, panels, inverter, and all wiring by our licensed electricians. • 1–2 weeks: Final electrical inspection and utility PTO (Permission To Operate). Larger commercial arrays can take 10–16 weeks, mainly due to extra engineering and utility coordination.
What financial incentives are available to Briceville residents who go solar?
1. Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): Through 2032 you can deduct 30 % of the total system cost from your federal tax liability. 2. Accelerated Depreciation (MACRS): Businesses can write off 85–100 % of the system value in the first year. 3. TVA Green Connect & Local Utility Net Metering: Excess kWh are credited to your bill at retail or near-retail rates, lowering payback time. 4. Grants & Low-Interest Loans: USDA REAP grants (up to 50 %) for qualifying agricultural facilities and zero-down solar loans through our partner bank. We help you file all paperwork so you capture every available dollar.
How much can I expect my electricity bill to drop once the system is up and running?
Savings depend on your current usage, roof space, and selected system size. Most Briceville homeowners see their monthly electric bills fall 60–90 %. For example, a 6 kW array producing ~8,500 kWh/yr can offset about $1,100 of annual utility costs at the current 13¢/kWh rate. With net metering, summer overproduction rolls into winter, meaning you rarely pay more than the fixed utility connection fee. Typical payback periods are 6–9 years for homes and 4–7 years for commercial sites.
What warranties and maintenance services do you offer to protect my investment?
• 25-year manufacturer power-output warranty on panels (minimum 84 % of nameplate rating in year 25). • 12–25-year product warranties on inverters and optimizers. • 10-year workmanship warranty covering roof penetrations, conduit, and mounting hardware. • Lifetime system monitoring with a customer portal and real-time performance alerts. We offer optional annual maintenance plans that include visual inspections, IV curve testing, and module cleaning to keep your array producing at peak capacity.
How do you ensure safety and code compliance during and after installation?
Every installation is led by a NABCEP-certified PV Installation Professional and staffed with Tennessee-licensed journeyman electricians. We pull all required Anderson County building and electrical permits, follow the 2023 NEC (Articles 690 & 705), and coordinate utility disconnect requirements. Our team uses OSHA-approved fall-protection gear, arc-flash PPE, and performs a 50-point quality checklist before calling for inspection. Post-installation, we provide you with stamped engineering drawings, equipment spec sheets, and the final inspection sign-off for your records.
