FAQs
What does “precision workmanship” mean for your solar installations in Dunlap?
Precision workmanship refers to our strict adherence to electrical codes, manufacturer guidelines, and millimeter-level accuracy when mounting racking, wiring modules, and terminating conductors. We use laser layout tools, torque wrenches calibrated for PV hardware, and thermal imaging to verify clean connections. The result is a system that operates at peak efficiency, passes all inspections the first time, and delivers decades of reliable power.
Are your electricians licensed and certified to perform solar work in Dunlap?
Yes. Every lead electrician on our crews holds an Illinois state electrical license, NABCEP PV Installation Professional certification, and OSHA-30 safety training. We stay current with the latest National Electrical Code (NEC) revisions and local Dunlap permitting requirements, ensuring your project meets or exceeds all regulatory standards.
How long does a typical residential solar installation take from start to finish?
Most single-family homes in Dunlap move from contract signing to system turn-on in 6–10 weeks. Design/engineering and permit approval usually take 3–4 weeks, on-site installation 1–3 days, and utility interconnection plus final inspection another 2–4 weeks. Larger or more complex roofs may add a week or two, but we provide a detailed timeline before work begins.
What warranties do you offer on solar panels and electrical workmanship?
We provide three layers of protection: (1) Manufacturer warranties—25-year performance and 12-year product warranties on Tier-1 panels, plus 10- to 25-year coverage on inverters. (2) Our workmanship warranty—10 years covering roof penetrations, racking integrity, conduit runs, and all electrical terminations. (3) Performance guarantee—if the system produces less than 95 % of our annual kWh projection in the first five years, we pay the difference.
Will you handle permits and utility interconnection paperwork for me?
Absolutely. We prepare and submit all drawings, structural letters, and electrical line diagrams required by the City of Dunlap and Peoria County. We also file the net-metering application with Ameren Illinois, schedule inspections, and coordinate the utility’s meter swap, saving you hours of administrative effort.
How much maintenance will my solar system need after installation?
Solar PV systems are low-maintenance. We recommend a visual check and module cleaning once or twice a year, especially after pollen season or heavy snowfall. Our monitoring portal alerts us to any performance issues in real time, and our service team provides free diagnostic visits during the 10-year workmanship warranty. Typical owners in Dunlap spend less than 30 minutes a year on basic upkeep.
