FAQs
Is Georgetown sunny enough for solar panels to make sense?
Absolutely. Georgetown averages around 230–240 sunny days per year, which is higher than the U.S. national average. This plentiful sunshine allows a properly sized residential photovoltaic (PV) array to generate 60–75 % of a home’s annual electricity needs, dramatically lowering utility bills. Our design team uses historical irradiance data specific to Georgetown to model production and show you exactly how many kilowatt-hours your roof can produce in every month of the year.
What incentives, rebates, or tax credits can I get for installing solar in Georgetown?
Most homeowners qualify for the 30 % Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), which can be applied to the entire installed cost of the system. In addition, Georgetown’s utility participates in net metering, so any excess energy your array produces is credited on your monthly bill at retail rates. Williamson County currently waives additional property tax assessment on the value the solar system adds to your home, and certain HOAs in Georgetown offer $500–$1,000 green-energy grants. We keep an up-to-date list of all incentives and will prepare the paperwork so you capture every available dollar.

Will my solar array keep the lights on if there’s a grid outage?
Standard grid-tied PV systems automatically shut down during an outage to protect utility line workers. If you want backup power, we can integrate a battery (such as the Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery) or a hybrid inverter with a critical-loads panel. Batteries can keep essential circuits—refrigeration, internet, lighting—running for 8–12 hours per charge, and they recharge from the sun when daylight returns.
How much maintenance do solar panels require in Georgetown’s climate?
Solar PV systems are nearly maintenance-free. Rainfall typically keeps panels clean, but we recommend a quick rinse if pollen or dust reduces production by more than ~5 %. Annual system checks include inspecting wiring, verifying inverter performance, and tightening mounting hardware. We offer a low-cost maintenance plan that includes remote production monitoring and one on-site preventive service visit per year.
What kind of performance guarantees and equipment warranties are included?
All panels we install carry a 25-year power production warranty guaranteeing at least 80–88 % of original output in year 25, plus a 10- to 12-year product workmanship warranty. Micro-inverters or string inverters include 12–25-year manufacturer warranties. Solar Solutions Electrical adds a 10-year labor warranty that covers roof penetrations, wiring, and racking. Should any component fail, we handle the manufacturer claim and replace the part at no cost to you.
