FAQs
How do I know if my New Market home is suitable for a solar installation?
Most homes in New Market are excellent candidates if the roof has at least 300 sq ft of unobstructed space facing south, east, or west and is less than 25 years old. During our free site assessment we use drone imaging, a shade-analysis tool, and your past 12 months of utility bills to calculate expected production and savings. If shading, roof age, or structure pose issues, we can propose ground-mount or carport alternatives.
What permits and inspections are required in New Market, and do you handle them?
Yes. New Market falls under Frederick County jurisdiction for building, electrical, and zoning permits. We prepare the engineered drawings, submit the permit package, pay the fees, and coordinate all inspections, including the county electrical inspection and the Potomac Edison interconnection review. You only sign the application once; we track progress and keep you updated until permission to operate (PTO) is issued.
How much can I expect to save on electricity and what incentives are available?
Savings depend on system size, roof orientation, and your current utility rate. A typical 9 kW system offsets about 11,500 kWh a year, eliminating 90-100 % of an average New Market household’s bill and saving roughly $1,450 annually at current rates. Homeowners can claim the 30 % federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), Maryland’s $1,000 Residential Clean Energy Rebate, and sell Solar Renewable Energy Credits (SRECs) worth about $55–$65 each. We include a personalized cash-flow and payback report with every proposal.
What is the installation timeline from contract to completion?
Most projects take 8–12 weeks. Design and permitting: 3–5 weeks; utility and HOA approvals (if needed): 1–2 weeks; on-site installation: 1–3 days for roof-mounted arrays, up to 5 days for ground mounts; inspections and PTO: 2–4 weeks. Supply-chain delays or weather can extend timelines, but we provide a project tracker and real-time status updates through our customer portal.
What kind of maintenance do solar panels require in New Market’s climate?
Solar panels are largely maintenance-free; rain usually keeps them clean. We recommend visual inspections once or twice a year to check for debris or nesting under the array. Because New Market sees occasional snow, panels are designed to handle loads up to 60 psf. Snow generally melts and slides off within 24–48 hours of sunshine, but we offer a soft-bristle snow-rake kit if you prefer to clear them yourself. Our monitoring platform alerts us to any production anomalies, and our annual service visit is included for the first five years.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
All Tier-1 panels carry a 25-year performance warranty (minimum 84 % output at year 25) and a 12-year product warranty, extendable to 25 years. Micro-inverters/optimizers include a 25-year warranty, and our workmanship is covered for 10 years. You receive lifetime system monitoring, a 24/7 service hotline, and guaranteed response within two business days for any warranty claim or performance issue. Our local New Market office stocks critical spare parts so most repairs are completed within a week, not months.
