FAQs
What makes your Loudon solar installations “state-of-the-art”?
We design every system around Tier-1 monocrystalline panels with efficiencies above 21 %, paired with high-frequency, rapid-shutdown string inverters or micro-inverters for module-level monitoring. Optional lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) battery storage, smart EV-ready load centers, and AI-driven energy-management apps round out a package that maximizes production, safety, and user control while complying with the latest NEC 2023 codes adopted in Tennessee.
Does Loudon get enough sunlight for solar to be cost-effective?
Yes. Loudon averages about 4.7 peak sun-hours per day—comparable to many successful solar markets. A 7 kW residential array will typically generate 9,000–10,000 kWh per year, offsetting 80–100 % of a typical home’s annual usage. Our design software factors in roof azimuth, shading, and historical NOAA irradiance data specific to Loudon to give you a precise production estimate before you sign.
What incentives, rebates, or tax credits can I claim in Loudon?
Homeowners and businesses can claim the 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the net system cost, including batteries. TVA’s Green Connect program offers $500 for qualifying installations, while local utility (LUB) provides one-to-one net metering credits. Businesses may also accelerate depreciation under MACRS or claim the new 10 % Domestic Content bonus if U.S.-made panels are selected. We provide all documentation and coordinate with your tax professional to ensure you capture every available benefit.
How long does the solar installation process take from contract to commissioning?
For most residential projects the timeline is 6–10 weeks: 1–2 weeks for site survey & design, 1 week for permitting with Loudon County Building Codes, 1–2 days for on-site installation, and 2–4 weeks for utility interconnection approval and final inspection. Commercial projects may run 10–14 weeks due to structural and electrical engineering reviews. Throughout the process you receive milestone updates through our customer portal.
How does net metering work with Loudon Utilities Board (LUB)?
Your bidirectional meter tracks energy you export versus import each month. Excess daytime production spins the meter backward, creating kWh credits at the full retail rate. Credits roll forward for 12 months; at the anniversary true-up any unused balance is forfeited, so we size systems to meet, not wildly exceed, your annual demand. Battery storage can further optimize self-consumption and protect you from outages without affecting your net-metering eligibility.
What warranties and maintenance services do you provide?
Panels carry a 25-year performance warranty (at least 92 % output in year 25) and 12-year product warranty, extendable to 25 years. Inverters include 12- to 25-year coverage depending on model. Our workmanship warranty is 10 years, covering roof penetrations and electrical labor. We also offer an optional annual maintenance plan: infrared scans, performance verification, and cleaning to keep your Loudon system operating at peak efficiency with minimal effort on your part.
