FAQs
What types of electrical and solar installation services do you offer in Old Fort?
We handle the full spectrum of solar projects—from roof-mounted and ground-mounted photovoltaic (PV) arrays to hybrid solar-plus-battery systems and EV-charger integration. Our licensed electricians perform permitting, utility interconnection, wiring, panel mounting, inverter setup, monitoring configuration, and final commissioning, so you only need one contractor from start to finish.
How long does a typical residential solar installation take?
For most single-family homes in Old Fort, the timeline is 6–10 weeks from signed contract to system turn-on. Site evaluation and design: 1–2 weeks; permitting and utility approval: 2–4 weeks; on-site installation: 1–3 days; inspections and utility meter swap: 1–2 weeks. Larger or more complex projects (e.g., battery storage, service-panel upgrades) may add a week or two.
Are there local incentives or rebates available for solar in Old Fort?
Yes. Homeowners can still claim the 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on total project cost. Duke Energy Progress customers may qualify for performance-based incentives, and McDowell County provides a property-tax exemption on the added value of renewable energy equipment. We include a personalized incentive summary and the required documentation with every proposal.
Will my solar system keep the lights on during a power outage?
A standard grid-tied PV system shuts down when the utility grid fails to protect line workers. If backup power is important, we can design a solar-plus-storage system with an automatic transfer switch and critical-load panel. During daylight, the array recharges the battery so you can run essentials—refrigeration, lighting, internet—through extended outages without a generator.
How much maintenance does a solar PV system require?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free because they have no moving parts. We recommend a visual inspection and online monitoring check every 6–12 months, plus light cleaning if panels become visibly soiled (usually after pollen season). Our packages include a 5-year workmanship warranty and two complimentary maintenance visits in the first five years.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
Modules carry 25- to 30-year performance warranties and 10- to 12-year product warranties; inverters are covered for 10–25 years depending on model. Our labor is guaranteed for 10 years, and we offer optional extended monitoring with proactive alerts. If any component fails within its warranty period, we handle the manufacturer claim, replacement, and re-installation at no labor cost to you.
