FAQs
Does Evensville receive enough sunshine to make solar worthwhile?
Yes. Evensville averages about 4.5–5.0 peak sun-hours per day over the year, which is comparable to most of the Southeast. A properly sized system can cover 80–100 % of a typical home’s annual electricity needs, and net-metering with Volunteer Energy Cooperative (VEC) or other local utilities lets you bank summer excess for use in winter.
What types of solar installations do you offer in Evensville?
We design and build three main system types: (1) Grid-tied rooftop arrays—our most popular and lowest-cost option; (2) Grid-tied with battery backup—adds lithium batteries for outage protection; and (3) Off-grid or remote cabin systems—fully independent with generator integration. All can be mounted on shingle, metal, or flat roofs, or on ground-mounted racks if your roof is shaded or undersized.
How long does a typical residential solar project take from start to finish?
The average timeline is 6–10 weeks: • 1–2 weeks for site visit, system design, and quote approval • 2–4 weeks for utility interconnection paperwork and Rhea County/state electrical permits • 1–3 days for the physical installation • 1–2 weeks for final inspections and utility meter swap. Larger commercial projects may run 10–14 weeks depending on equipment lead times.
Do I need permits or inspections for a solar system in Evensville?
Yes. All solar installations in Rhea County require (1) an electrical permit through the Tennessee Department of Commerce & Insurance or local building office, (2) a structural review if roof-mounted, and (3) a utility interconnection agreement. We handle the entire process—drawing preparation, submissions, fees, and scheduling inspections—so you only need to sign the forms we provide.
What incentives or financing options are available for solar in Evensville?
Homeowners and businesses can claim the 30 % Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the total project cost. TVA’s Green Connect program offers a one-time $500 bill credit and performance monitoring. Tennessee exempts solar equipment from sales tax and adds no property-tax increase for the added value. We also partner with credit unions and solar-friendly lenders for $0-down loans, HELOCs, and 5–20-year fixed-rate financing.
How much maintenance do solar panels need, and what warranties do you provide?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free—just rinse or let the rain wash off heavy pollen a few times a year and keep nearby trees trimmed. Our systems include online monitoring so you can confirm performance anytime. We use tier-1 panels with a 25-year power-output warranty (at least 85 % of day-one capacity in year 25), 10–12-year product warranties (extendable to 25 years), and a 10-year workmanship warranty covering leaks, wiring, and racking.
