FAQs
What licenses and certifications do your electricians and solar installers hold in Decherd?
Every crew member who works on your project carries a Tennessee Electrical Contractor License and OSHA 30 safety certification. In addition, our solar technicians are NABCEP-certified, the gold standard for photovoltaic installation. These credentials ensure that all wiring, roof work, and system commissioning meet both state electrical codes and the industry’s best-practice guidelines.
How does the site evaluation process work for a residential solar installation?
After an initial phone consultation, a licensed technician will visit your property in Decherd to assess roof orientation, shading, structural integrity, and main service-panel capacity. We use shade-analysis tools and drone imaging to create a detailed production report. Within 48–72 hours you receive a proposal showing array size, expected yearly output, and a financial payback estimate, so you can make an informed decision before signing a contract.
What incentives or tax credits are available for solar power systems in Decherd, TN?
Homeowners and businesses can claim the 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the total installed cost of a solar array through 2032. Tennessee does not impose additional state income tax, but TVA’s Green Power Providers program offers performance payments for excess energy. Local utility net-metering rules allow you to earn bill credits for surplus generation, further shortening the payback period.
Can I add battery storage or EV charging to my solar array later?
Absolutely. We design every system with future expansion in mind by installing an appropriately sized inverter and a dedicated sub-panel. Whether you want a Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ Battery, or a Level-2 EV charger, the necessary wiring and breakers will already be in place, making the add-on straightforward and cost-effective when you’re ready.
How long will the installation take and will my power be interrupted?
Most residential projects in Decherd are completed in 1–2 days, while small commercial arrays typically take 3–5 days. Power is only disconnected for 30–60 minutes while we tie the system into your main service panel. We schedule this brief outage at a time that is convenient for you to minimize disruption.
What kind of maintenance and monitoring do solar panels require after installation?
Solar arrays are largely maintenance-free. The tempered-glass modules are cleaned naturally by rainfall, but an annual visual inspection and occasional rinse during extended dry periods is recommended. Every system we install includes a web-based monitoring portal that tracks real-time production and alerts our service team to any performance issues. If a panel or micro-inverter ever underperforms, we handle the manufacturer warranty claim and replacement at no cost during the coverage period (typically 25 years for panels and 10–25 years for inverters).
