FAQs
How do I know if my Maynardville home is suitable for a solar installation?
We begin every project with a free on-site assessment. Our technicians evaluate your roof’s orientation, shading, structural integrity, and available surface area, as well as your current electrical service. Most homes in Maynardville with at least 300 sq. ft. of unobstructed south-, east-, or west-facing roof space and a roof that is less than 20 years old qualify. If roof space is limited, we can also design ground-mounted arrays.
What permits and inspections are required for a seamless solar installation in Maynardville?
Union County requires an electrical permit, a structural permit (if mounting on a roof), and a final inspection. Our team handles the entire permitting process, including plan submission to the county building department, coordination with the local utility (KUB or Powell-Clinch Utility District, depending on your address), and scheduling of inspections. You just sign the application; we take care of the paperwork and fees.
How long does the installation process take from contract to power-on?
Most residential projects reach ‘permission to operate’ within 6–10 weeks. Design and permitting generally take 2–3 weeks, equipment procurement 1–2 weeks, on-site installation 1–3 days, and final inspections plus utility interconnection 2–4 weeks. Commercial systems may take slightly longer due to utility engineering reviews.
What incentives or financing options are available to Maynardville residents?
Homeowners can claim the 30 % Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). TVA’s Green Connect program offers performance-based payments for excess energy, and the Tennessee Department of Environment & Conservation provides a sales-tax exemption on solar equipment. We partner with local credit unions to offer zero-down solar loans with terms up to 20 years, and we can bundle any needed electrical upgrades into the same financing package.
Will my existing electrical panel need upgrading?
Homes with a 100 A service can often support systems up to 7 kW using our load-side interconnection method. Larger arrays or homes with multiple high-demand appliances (EV chargers, heat pumps, hot tubs) usually require a 200 A main panel. During the assessment we measure available bus capacity, and if an upgrade is needed, we provide a turnkey quote that includes new service equipment, utility coordination, and inspection.
What maintenance is required after installation?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free. We recommend rinsing panels with a garden hose twice a year to remove pollen and dust common to East Tennessee. Our installations include a 25-year manufacturer warranty on panels and inverters and a 10-year workmanship warranty. We remotely monitor every system at no charge for the first year; afterward, customers can choose an extended monitoring plan for ongoing performance alerts.
