FAQs
What types of solar installation services do you offer in Cosby?
We provide turnkey solar solutions for residential, commercial, and agricultural properties in Cosby and the surrounding Sevier & Cocke County areas. Services include on-grid and off-grid photovoltaic (PV) system design, roof- or ground-mounted array installation, battery storage integration, EV-charger wiring, and all associated electrical upgrades such as main panel replacements and load-center additions.
Are you properly licensed and insured to perform electrical and solar work in Tennessee?
Yes. Our company holds a Tennessee Electrical Contractor license (LLE) and NABCEP-certified PV installation credentials. We carry $2 million in general liability coverage and full workers’ compensation insurance, which means homeowners and business owners in Cosby are protected from liability during every phase of the project.
How long will a typical residential solar installation take from contract to completion?
For most single-family homes in Cosby, the timeline is 6–10 weeks. The first 2–3 weeks cover site assessment, system engineering, and permitting with the Cocke County Building Department and TVA interconnection approval. Equipment procurement generally takes 1–2 weeks. Physical installation of panels, racking, wiring, and inverters is completed in 1–3 days, followed by utility inspection and meter swap, which usually adds another 1–2 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule up front and keep you updated at every milestone.
What incentives or financing options are available for Cosby residents?
Homeowners can claim the 30 % Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on eligible project costs. TVA’s Green Connect program offers performance-based energy credits, and local banks in Sevier and Cocke Counties partner with us for low-interest ‘Energy Improvement’ loans with terms up to 15 years. We also assist qualifying farms with USDA REAP grant applications covering up to 50 % of project expenses.
How will solar affect my electric bill and what kind of savings can I expect?
A properly sized system can offset 70–100 % of a typical Cosby home’s annual electricity usage. With current TVA residential rates (~12 ¢/kWh), a 7 kW array can save about $1,100–$1,300 per year. Most systems pay for themselves in 8–11 years, while panels are warrantied for 25 years, producing decades of near-free power after payback.
Do you provide maintenance and monitoring after installation?
Absolutely. Every installation includes a 25-year panel performance warranty, a 10-year workmanship warranty, and lifetime system monitoring through a mobile app. We perform a complimentary on-site inspection one year after commissioning and offer affordable annual maintenance plans that cover cleaning, production audits, and rapid dispatch for any warranty claims or repairs.
