FAQs
What types of solar systems do you install in Clairfield?
We design and install grid-tied, hybrid, and off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems. All arrays use Tier-1 monocrystalline panels paired with high-efficiency string or micro-inverters, depending on your roof layout and shading. For customers who need backup power, we integrate lithium-ion battery storage (such as Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery) and smart load-management panels.
How long does a typical residential solar installation take from contract to commissioning?
Most Clairfield projects move through four phases: (1) engineering & permitting—2-3 weeks, (2) utility interconnection approval—1-2 weeks, (3) on-site installation—1-3 days for roof-mounted systems under 15 kW, and (4) final inspection & PTO (permission to operate)—about 1 week. In total, expect 4–7 weeks, although supply-chain delays or complex electrical upgrades can extend that timeline slightly.
What incentives and financing options are available in Clairfield?
Homeowners can claim the 30 % Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). The Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) also offers the Green Power Providers performance-based incentive for qualifying systems. Locally, Clairfield residents may be eligible for low-interest energy loans through Pathway Lending’s TenneSEIA program. We partner with several lenders to provide $0-down solar loans, leases, and PPAs so you can spread payments over 10–25 years while still saving on your monthly electric bill.
Will solar power keep my lights on during a grid outage?
Standard grid-tied PV systems shut down for safety when the utility goes offline. To maintain power during an outage, you’ll need a hybrid inverter and battery storage or a separate backup generator. We offer turnkey battery packages sized to support critical loads—refrigeration, lights, internet, medical devices—for 8–48 hours, with auto-transfer switching for seamless operation.
What maintenance do solar panels and inverters require?
Solar panels have no moving parts and typically need only an annual visual inspection and occasional cleaning if soiling reduces output more than 5 %. Our monitoring portal alerts you to performance drops in real time. Inverters may require firmware updates every few years; we handle these remotely at no charge. We include a 5-year workmanship warranty, 25-year panel performance warranty (to 85 % of original output), and 10- to 25-year inverter warranties, depending on model.
Can you upgrade my home’s electrical service while installing solar?
Yes. As a licensed electrical contractor, we can combine service upgrades—panel replacements, whole-home surge protection, EV charger circuits, and smart breakers—with your solar project. Bundling the work saves permitting fees and labor costs and ensures that your upgraded 200-amp service meets current NEC code and future energy demands.
