FAQs
How well does solar perform in La Follette’s climate?
La Follette averages about 4.5–5 peak sun-hours per day—more than enough to make solar economically attractive. Modern high-efficiency panels, coupled with smart inverters, convert that sunshine into electricity even on hazy or partly cloudy days, so you can expect annual system outputs of 1,300–1,450 kWh per installed kW.
What cutting-edge technology do you use in your solar installations?
We design systems around Tier-1 monocrystalline panels (400 W+), microinverters or optimizers for panel-level monitoring, and rapid-shutdown compliant wiring for safety. Optional lithium-iron-phosphate battery packs, EV-ready smart panels, and AI-driven energy management software can be integrated to maximize self-consumption and prepare your home for future grid services.
What incentives are available for La Follette homeowners and businesses?
1) Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) covers 30 % of system cost through 2032. 2) Tennessee’s TVA Green Connect program offers a performance-based credit for every kWh you export. 3) Campbell County property taxes cannot be reassessed for five years on the added value of solar equipment. We handle all paperwork so you capture every dollar.
What does the installation process look like and how long will it take?
After a free virtual or on-site assessment, we complete engineering, permitting, and utility interconnection—typically two to four weeks. Roof or ground-mount installation itself usually takes one to three days, followed by inspection and utility approval. From signed contract to energization, most La Follette projects go live within four to six weeks.
How much maintenance will my solar system need?
Solar has no moving parts. An annual visual check and occasional panel rinse after heavy pollen season are usually sufficient. Our systems include 25-year power-output warranties, 10–25-year workmanship coverage, and complimentary remote monitoring; if performance dips, we’re alerted immediately and will schedule a service visit at no cost during the warranty term.
Can my solar system keep the lights on during grid outages?
Yes. By adding a properly sized battery bank or a hybrid inverter with automatic transfer capability, we create a micro-grid that powers critical loads during TVA outages. Typical packages provide 10–30 kWh of stored energy, enough for refrigeration, lights, internet, and medical devices overnight, and they recharge from the sun the next day.
