FAQs
How much can I expect to save on my electric bills after installing your cost-effective solar system in Decatur?
Most Decatur homeowners see reductions of 50–90 % on their monthly electric bills, depending on system size, roof orientation, shading, and household consumption. Our design team runs a free, site-specific savings analysis so you know your projected first-year savings, 25-year lifetime savings, and estimated payback period before you commit.
What local incentives and tax credits are available to help lower the upfront cost of solar in Decatur?
In addition to the 30 % federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), Georgia residents may qualify for utility rebates, low-interest solar loans, and the state’s net-metering program, which credits you for surplus power sent back to the grid. We handle all paperwork and will apply every eligible incentive to reduce your out-of-pocket cost.
How long does the solar installation process take from contract signing to system activation?
A typical residential project in Decatur takes 6–10 weeks. Week 1–2: final design, permitting, and utility interconnection applications. Week 3–4: equipment ordering and scheduling. Week 5: on-site installation (usually 1–2 days). Week 6–10: city inspection and utility approval. We keep you updated at each milestone and coordinate all approvals for a smooth experience.
Will my roof support solar panels, and what if it needs repairs first?
Our no-cost roof assessment measures structural integrity, age, and sun exposure. If your roof has at least 10 years of life left and minimal shading, it is likely suitable. Should repairs or replacement be advisable, we can bundle roofing work with your solar project so you finance both together and qualify the roofing portion that supports panels for the 30 % tax credit.
What maintenance is required, and how long do the panels and inverters last?
Solar panels are virtually maintenance-free—an occasional rinse during pollen season is usually sufficient. We use Tier-1 panels warrantied for 25–30 years with expected lifespans of 35+ years. Micro-inverters or optimizers carry 25-year warranties, and our monitoring portal alerts us to any performance issues. Labor and roof penetration warranties cover 10–15 years for added peace of mind.
What financing options do you offer to make going solar more affordable?
We provide cash discounts, $0-down solar loans with terms up to 25 years, and lease or power-purchase agreements (PPAs) for qualified homeowners. Our financing partners often offer interest rates lower than utility rate inflation, so your monthly loan payment can be lower than your current electric bill, giving you immediate net savings while building equity in your home energy system.
