FAQs
What types of solar and electrical solutions do you provide for homes and businesses in Decherd?
We design and install grid-tied, hybrid, and off-grid solar PV systems for single-family residences, farms, retail stores, offices, and light-industrial facilities. Our licensed electricians also handle service-panel upgrades, surge protection, LED lighting retrofits, backup generators, and EV-charger installations—so we can integrate your solar array seamlessly with your existing electrical infrastructure.
How long does the solar installation process take, and will it disrupt my daily operations?
A typical residential installation takes 1–3 days on-site after permits are approved. Small-to-medium commercial projects usually require 3–7 days, while larger arrays can extend to several weeks. Most of the work occurs outdoors on the roof or ground mount, so interruptions inside your home or business are minimal. We schedule noisy tasks outside of customer peak hours whenever possible to keep your routine running smoothly.
What incentives, rebates, or tax credits are available for solar projects in Decherd, Tennessee?
Homeowners and businesses can claim the 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the total installed cost through 2032. Commercial clients may also qualify for accelerated depreciation (MACRS) and potential bonus depreciation in year one. TVA’s Green Connect program offers performance-based payments, and some local utilities provide additional bill credits for excess generation. We research every available incentive for you and file the paperwork as part of our turnkey service.
How much will I save on my electric bill and what is the expected return on investment (ROI)?
Savings depend on system size, roof orientation, shading, and your current utility rate. In Decherd, a well-sited 6-kW residential array offsets 7,800–8,200 kWh per year—about 80 % of an average home’s usage—translating to $900–$1,100 in annual bill reductions at present rates. Most homeowners see payback in 7–10 years, while commercial customers, aided by tax advantages, often reach ROI in 4–6 years. Because panels carry 25-year power warranties, the lifetime cost of energy drops to 4–6 ¢/kWh, far below utility rates.
Do you handle permits, utility interconnection, and inspections?
Yes. Our in-house engineering team produces stamped drawings for the City of Decherd and Franklin County. We submit permit applications, coordinate with TVA and your local electric cooperative for interconnection agreements, and schedule all code inspections. You receive a single point of contact who keeps you informed until the system is approved, energized, and uploading production data to your monitoring app.
What maintenance is required after installation and what warranties do you offer?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free; occasional rinsing of modules and a yearly visual check are usually sufficient. We include a 5-year workmanship warranty covering labor and roof penetrations, 10–25-year manufacturer warranties on modules, inverters, and racking, and optional extended service plans. Commercial clients can add monitoring agreements that trigger automated alerts and on-site troubleshooting within 48 hours if production falls below expected levels.
