FAQs
What sustainable energy solutions does Powering the Future offer in Erwin?
We design and install a full suite of clean-energy technologies tailored to Erwin’s climate and utility rates. Options include rooftop and ground-mount solar PV systems, high-efficiency inverters, battery storage for backup and peak-shaving, and smart-panel upgrades that let you monitor and control consumption in real time. For commercial clients we also integrate micro-grids and demand-response automation to reduce operating costs while increasing resilience.
How can I transition my home or business to renewable electricity?
The process is straightforward: 1. Free Energy Assessment – We inspect your site, study past utility bills, and model your load profile. 2. System Design & Proposal – Our engineers size the solar, storage, or hybrid system that best meets your goals, showing expected production, savings, and payback period. 3. Permitting & Incentives – We handle local building/electrical permits and apply for federal, state, and TVA rebates or tax credits on your behalf. 4. Installation – Certified electricians complete the install, followed by utility interconnection. 5. Monitoring & Support – You receive an app that tracks generation and usage 24/7, plus a 25-year performance warranty and lifetime technical support.
What financial incentives are available for installing solar in Erwin?
Homeowners and businesses can currently claim the 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) for solar and battery installations. Tennessee also offers property-tax relief on renewable improvements, and the TVA Green Connect program provides $500–$1,000 rebates for qualifying systems. Various USDA REAP grants cover up to 50 % of project costs for farms and rural small businesses. We will calculate all applicable incentives in your proposal and help file the paperwork so you receive the maximum benefit.
Will adding renewable generation affect the reliability of my power supply?
Properly engineered systems increase, rather than decrease, reliability. Grid-tied solar continues to draw energy from the local utility when needed, while feeding excess back for bill credits. Pairing panels with batteries or a hybrid inverter enables seamless backup during outages, keeping critical loads—refrigeration, medical devices, internet—running for hours or days. We size storage based on your priorities and can design a micro-grid that isolates (islands) from the main grid during disturbances.
Do you install electric-vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure?
Yes. We install Level 2 chargers for homes and fleets, as well as DC fast-charging stations for public or commercial sites. Our electricians evaluate your panel capacity, upgrade service if required, and integrate chargers with solar and storage so you can power vehicles with clean energy and manage demand charges. We are certified to install leading brands such as ChargePoint, Tesla, and Enphase IQ. We also help customers apply for utility rebates that can cover up to 100 % of hardware and installation costs in some cases.
How does on-site battery storage benefit my home or facility?
Battery storage captures surplus solar energy during the day and discharges it when grid rates are highest or during outages. Benefits include: • Backup Power – Keep lights, HVAC, and critical equipment running automatically when the grid goes down. • Bill Savings – Avoid peak demand charges and time-of-use rates by drawing from stored energy. • Grid Services – Some TVA programs pay you for allowing the utility to use a fraction of your battery capacity to balance the grid. • Future-proofing – Storage makes it easier to add EV chargers or expand solar without costly panel upgrades. Our lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries come with 10- to 15-year warranties and 6,000+ cycle life for long-term peace of mind.
