FAQs
What solar installation services does Solar Solutions Electrical provide in Lookout Mountain?
We handle every step of your solar project, including site assessment, system design, permitting, equipment procurement, professional installation, interconnection with Georgia Power or your local utility, and post-installation monitoring. Whether you need a roof-mounted array, ground-mounted system, or battery storage, our NABCEP-certified team custom-tailors the solution to your home or business.
How much sunlight does Lookout Mountain receive, and is it suitable for solar panels?
Lookout Mountain averages around 4.5–5.0 peak sun hours per day, which is excellent for solar. Our design software analyzes your roof orientation, tilt, and any shading from trees or surrounding ridges to ensure optimal panel placement. Most homes can offset 70–100 % of their annual electricity use with a properly sized system.
What incentives, rebates, or tax credits are available for installing solar in Lookout Mountain?
Homeowners and businesses can claim the 30 % federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) through 2032. Georgia offers property tax exemptions on the added value of solar equipment, and local utilities occasionally run rebate programs for renewable energy. We provide a detailed savings report that factors in all current incentives and help you complete the paperwork.
How long does a typical residential solar installation take from consultation to activation?
The full timeline is usually 6–10 weeks. After your free on-site consultation, design and permitting take 2–4 weeks depending on county approval. The physical installation is typically completed in 1–2 days. Final inspection and utility interconnection add another 1–3 weeks before your system is officially turned on and begins generating power.
What warranties and maintenance plans do you offer for solar systems?
We use Tier-1 panels with 25-year performance warranties (guaranteed 80–92 % output at year 25) and 12- to 25-year product warranties. Inverters carry 10–25-year warranties, and our workmanship is covered for 10 years. Optional maintenance plans include annual system check-ups, panel cleaning, and real-time performance monitoring with automatic alerts for any issues.
Will my solar panels continue to produce power during a utility outage?
Standard grid-tied systems shut down automatically to protect line workers. To maintain power during an outage, you can add a battery backup such as Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery, or choose a hybrid inverter with generator integration. We’ll evaluate your critical loads and design a solution that keeps essentials like refrigeration, lighting, and internet running even when the grid is down.
