FAQs
Why should I choose your team for solar and electrical work in Copperhill?
Our crew is made up of state-licensed master electricians and NABCEP-certified solar installers who live and work in the Copperhill area. We handle everything—from load-calculations and system design to permits with Polk County and the Tennessee State Fire Marshal’s Office—so you have a single, reliable point of contact. Because we are local, we understand Copperhill’s climate, roof types, and utility interconnection rules, ensuring a safe, code-compliant installation that maximizes energy production.
What electrical upgrades might be necessary before installing solar panels on my Copperhill home?
Most homes need only a dedicated solar breaker, but older properties may require a service-panel upgrade to 200 amps, new grounding electrodes, or surge protection to comply with the 2023 National Electrical Code adopted in Tennessee. During our free site assessment, we inspect your main panel, meter socket, and wiring to identify any issues in advance and include the cost of upgrades in our written proposal so there are no surprises.
How long does the entire solar installation process take from contract to turning the system on?
The typical timeline for a Copperhill project is 6–10 weeks. Design and permitting take 1 –3 weeks, utility interconnection approval 2–4 weeks, on-site installation 1–3 days, and final inspection/utility meter swap about 1 week. We track every milestone and keep you updated through our online customer portal so you always know where your project stands.
What incentives or rebates are available to Copperhill residents who install solar?
Homeowners can currently claim the 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the net cost of their solar PV system. In addition, Tennessee Valley Authority (TVA) offers its Green Connect program, which provides performance-based energy credits for qualifying systems. Businesses may also depreciate solar under MACRS and take bonus depreciation. We provide all documentation needed for these incentives and can recommend local tax professionals if you need assistance.
Will my solar array provide power during a utility outage?
A standard grid-tied system automatically shuts off when the grid goes down to protect line workers. If you want backup power, we can integrate a battery storage package or a hybrid inverter with secure-power outlets. During your consultation, we’ll size a battery bank to cover critical loads such as refrigerators, well pumps, and medical equipment and explain the additional cost and maintenance requirements.
What type of maintenance and warranty coverage do you offer after installation?
Solar panels are virtually maintenance-free and only need an occasional rinse to remove dust or pollen common in Copperhill’s spring months. We include a 25-year manufacturer’s performance warranty on panels, a 12-to-25-year warranty on inverters (model dependent), and a 10-year workmanship warranty that covers roof penetrations, wiring, and mounting hardware. Our monitoring app alerts both you and our service team if production drops, and we offer affordable annual inspections for added peace of mind.
