FAQs
Is Cosby sunny enough for solar panels to be effective?
Yes. Cosby receives roughly 4.5–5 peak sun-hours per day on average, which is comparable to the statewide Tennessee average. Modern photovoltaic (PV) modules can generate ample electricity even on partly cloudy days, so a properly sized system can offset 70–100 % of a typical household’s annual consumption.
How do I determine the right-sized solar array for my home or business?
Our design team reviews 12 months of utility bills, the orientation and shading of your roof or ground area, and future load changes (EVs, heat pumps, expansions). From this data we model a system—usually 6–12 kW for homes and 20 kW+ for small businesses—that maximizes your on-site consumption and payback. A free site assessment and proposal will show production estimates, layout, and financial projections.
What incentives or tax benefits can I claim for a solar installation in Cosby?
1. Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): 30 % of the total project cost can be claimed as a credit on your federal taxes through 2032. 2. Accelerated Depreciation (MACRS) for businesses, reducing taxable income in the first year. 3. TVA Green Connect and local utility performance-based incentives may pay additional ¢/kWh for energy your array exports. 4. USDA REAP grants can cover up to 50 % of eligible costs for agricultural or rural small-business projects. Our team handles all paperwork to ensure you receive every available benefit.
What is the installation timeline and what should I expect during the process?
From signed contract to energization typically takes 6–10 weeks: • Week 1–2: engineering, permitting, and utility interconnection application. • Week 3–5: procurement of panels, inverters, and racking; permit approval. • Week 6: on-site installation—usually 1–3 days for residences and up to a week for larger commercial arrays. • Week 7–8: final inspections and utility meter swap. We coordinate everything, maintain clean work areas, and keep you updated at each milestone.
How much maintenance do solar panels need and what warranties are included?
Solar PV systems are essentially maintenance-free: no moving parts, self-cleaning from rainfall, and remote monitoring alerts us to any anomalies. We recommend a quick visual check and production review once a season. Our standard package includes: • 25-year power output warranty (≥ 80 % at year 25). • 25-year manufacturer warranty on panels. • 12-25-year inverter warranty depending on model. • 10-year workmanship warranty from Clean Energy Solutions Electrical. Optional annual cleaning and inspection plans are available for added peace of mind.
Will my solar array keep running if the grid goes down?
A standard grid-tied system shuts off automatically during outages for safety. To maintain power when the grid fails you can add a battery-backup package (lithium-ion batteries and hybrid inverter) or a generator integration. Batteries can power critical loads—refrigeration, lighting, internet, well pump—for several hours to days depending on capacity. We can model different backup scenarios and include them in your proposal.
