FAQs
What solar services do you provide for homes and businesses in Coalmont?
Solar Solutions Electrical offers turnkey solar services, including site assessment, custom system design, permitting, equipment procurement, installation, interconnection with Sequachee Valley Electric Cooperative (or your local utility), system monitoring, and ongoing maintenance. We handle residential rooftop and ground-mount arrays, commercial and agricultural systems, battery storage, and EV-charger integration, so you only deal with one qualified contractor from start to finish.
Does Coalmont get enough sunshine for solar panels to be worthwhile?
Yes. Coalmont averages about 4.5–5 peak sun-hours per day over the year, comparable to the state average. A properly sized 6 kW residential system can generate roughly 8,000 kWh annually—more than half of the typical Tennessee household’s electricity needs. We use satellite irradiance data and shading analysis during your free site evaluation to predict production with ±5 % accuracy, ensuring your array will be financially and energetically viable.
What incentives or rebates can I use to lower the cost of my solar installation in Coalmont?
Homeowners and businesses can claim the 30 % federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the total system cost, including batteries. TVA’s Green Connect program offers performance-based credits for excess energy, and Sequachee Valley Electric sells Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) that can further improve payback. Eligible agricultural and rural small-business projects may qualify for up to 50 % grants through USDA REAP, and MACRS accelerated depreciation is available to most commercial customers. Our team will calculate all savings and prepare the paperwork so you receive every dollar you’re entitled to.
How long does a typical residential solar project take from consultation to commissioning?
For most homes in Coalmont, the timeline is 6–10 weeks: 1) Initial call and remote quote (1–2 days). 2) On-site assessment and final proposal (1 week). 3) Design, engineering, and utility/permit submissions (2–3 weeks). 4) Equipment delivery and installation (1–3 days on-site). 5) Utility inspection and net-meter activation (1–2 weeks). Commercial projects can take longer due to additional engineering and utility studies, but we coordinate each step to keep your project on track.
Will my solar system keep the lights on during power outages?
A standard grid-tied solar array automatically shuts off when the utility goes down for safety. If you want backup power, we can add a hybrid inverter and lithium-ion battery bank sized to run critical loads such as refrigerators, well pumps, and lights for several hours or days, depending on capacity. During an outage, your panels will continue to charge the batteries while the system operates in ‘island’ mode, giving you clean, quiet resilience without a generator.
What maintenance do solar panels need in Coalmont’s climate?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free. Coalmont’s moderate rainfall usually keeps panels clean; however, a light rinse in late spring and fall can maximize output if pollen or dust accumulates. We recommend a visual inspection once a year to check wiring and mounting hardware and to verify production through the monitoring app. Our workmanship warranty is 10 years, panel performance warranties last 25–30 years, and we offer optional maintenance plans that include annual inspections, cleaning, and a production guarantee.
