FAQs
How much sunlight does Dayton receive, and is it enough for effective solar power generation?
Yes. Dayton averages about 4.2–4.5 peak sun-hours per day, which is enough to generate significant electricity with today’s high-efficiency panels. A typical 6-kW premium system can produce roughly 7,500–8,000 kWh a year—covering 80-100 % of an average Dayton home’s annual usage depending on energy habits and roof orientation.
What local incentives and rebates are available for residential solar installations in Dayton?
Dayton residents can claim the 30 % federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). In addition, DP&L/AES Ohio customers can participate in net metering, receiving bill credits for excess power sent back to the grid. Montgomery County offers property-assessed clean energy (PACE) financing for eligible projects, and homeowners in designated improvement districts may qualify for low-interest loans. Our team handles all paperwork to ensure you secure every available incentive.
How long does the installation process take from contract to turn-on?
A standard residential project typically follows this timeline: 1. Site assessment & engineering: 1-2 weeks 2. Permitting and utility approval: 2-4 weeks (varies by jurisdiction) 3. On-site installation: 1-3 days for roof-mount systems, 3-5 days for ground-mounts 4. Final inspection & utility interconnection: 1-2 weeks Overall, expect 6-8 weeks end-to-end. We coordinate permitting with the City of Dayton or your township, schedule inspections, and submit interconnection forms to AES Ohio so you experience minimal delays.
Will my existing electrical panel handle a new solar array, or will I need an upgrade?
During our free assessment we inspect your main service panel’s busbar rating and available breaker space. Most homes with 200-amp service can accept up to a 15-kW solar array without upgrades. Homes with older 100-amp panels often need a panel or service-entrance upgrade to meet code and inverter backfeed requirements. If an upgrade is needed, we provide turnkey electrical work, including new load centers, meter bases, and utility coordination.
What maintenance is required and what warranty coverage do you provide?
Premium mono-crystalline panels are glass-encapsulated and have no moving parts, so routine maintenance is minimal. Rain usually keeps modules clean; occasional rinsing may boost output if pollen or debris accumulates. We include: • 25-year panel performance warranty (minimum 92 % power at year 25) • 25-year micro-inverter or string inverter warranty • 10-year workmanship warranty covering roof penetrations and wiring We also offer low-cost monitoring and maintenance plans for annual inspections, production reporting, and thermal imaging checks.
Can I add battery storage now or later, and how does it work with Dayton’s net-metering policy?
You may install batteries at the outset or design your system as "storage-ready" for easy future expansion. We integrate lithium-ion units (Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ Battery, SolarEdge Energy Bank) that provide backup during grid outages and allow time-of-use shifting if rates change. Under AES Ohio’s current net-metering, excess solar energy exported to the grid is credited at the full retail rate, so batteries are optional for financial savings but valuable for resilience. Our designers size battery capacity based on your critical-load panel and desired backup duration.
