FAQs
What makes your solar technology cutting-edge for homes and businesses in New Market?
We combine ultra-high-efficiency monocrystalline panels (22%+), module-level power electronics (Enphase IQ8 micro-inverters), and lithium-iron-phosphate battery storage in one integrated package. The system maximizes production in New Market’s mixed four-season climate by reducing shading losses, enabling panel-level monitoring, and storing excess energy for evening use. All components are UL-listed, backed by 25-year performance warranties, and installed to meet the latest National Electrical Code (NEC 2023) standards.
How does the solar installation process work and how long does it take?
1) Site Assessment (1–2 days): We survey your roof or ground area with drone imagery and shade-analysis software. 2) Custom Design & Proposal (3–4 days): You receive a 3-D layout, energy-yield forecast, and ROI model. 3) Permitting & Utility Approval (2–4 weeks): We handle the paperwork with New Market’s building department and your utility’s interconnection team. 4) Installation (1–3 days for most residential jobs): Our NABCEP-certified electricians mount racking, panels, inverters, and run wiring to the service panel. 5) Inspection & Activation (3–7 days): After county inspection and meter swap, we power up your array and walk you through the monitoring app.
What incentives, rebates, or financing options are available in New Market?
• Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): 30% of the total system cost through 2032. • State/Local Rebates: Maryland’s Residential Clean Energy Grant ($1,000) and potential utility performance rebates (varies by program cycle). • Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs): Each 1 MWh your system produces can be sold on the PJM SREC market for additional income. • Property Tax Exemption: Solar equipment is exempt from state and local property tax assessments. • Flexible Financing: $0-down solar loans (5–25 years), leases, and power-purchase agreements (PPAs) with guaranteed production.
Will my solar array provide power during grid outages?
Standard grid-tied systems must shut down for safety, but our designs can include an optional whole-home or partial-home battery backup. The Enphase Energy System senses outages in under 20 milliseconds, isolates your home from the grid, and keeps essential circuits—lights, refrigerator, internet, medical devices—running automatically. You can scale storage from 3.4 kWh to 40 kWh and recharge batteries daily from your panels once the sun is up.
What maintenance and monitoring are required after installation?
Solar PV systems have no moving parts, so upkeep is minimal. We provide: • 24/7 online monitoring—track real-time production, consumption, and battery state via smartphone app. • Annual health check—remote diagnostics flag any under-performing modules; on-site visits are scheduled if needed. • Panel cleaning guidance—rain usually suffices, but we offer affordable wash services during pollen or dust season. • Warranty support—we manage all manufacturer claims for 25-year panel output, 25-year micro-inverter coverage, and 10-year workmanship.
How much can I expect to save, and what is the typical payback period in New Market?
A typical 9 kW residential system produces about 11,500 kWh per year in New Market, offsetting roughly 90% of an average household’s electricity use. At today’s utility rate of $0.14/kWh (and 3% annual escalation), that equates to first-year savings of $1,600+. After applying the 30% ITC and state grant, net cost is roughly $18,000, yielding an 8–10 year simple payback and an internal rate of return (IRR) near 10–12%. Over the 25-year warrantied life, homeowners typically save $40,000–$50,000 in utility costs, while adding resale value and shielding themselves from future rate hikes.
