FAQs
What advantages does a solar installation offer homeowners and businesses in Oneida?
Oneida receives an annual average of 4–4.5 peak sun-hours per day—enough to generate substantial electricity savings. By installing solar, you can offset 60–100 % of your utility bill, lock in a low electricity cost for 25+ years, increase property value, and reduce your carbon footprint by roughly 3–4 tons of CO₂ per year for every 7 kW installed.
How does your cutting-edge solar installation process work from start to finish?
1) Site Assessment – Our NABCEP-certified team measures roof geometry, shading, and electrical capacity with LiDAR and drone imaging. 2) Custom Design – We model multiple array layouts in advanced software to maximize annual kWh/ft². 3) Permitting & Incentives – We file for Oneida building permits, utility interconnection, NY-SUN incentives, and the 30 % federal tax credit on your behalf. 4) Installation – A licensed master electrician oversees the two-to-three-day installation, which uses high-efficiency panels, smart string inverters, and rapid-shutdown compliance for NEC 2023. 5) Inspection & PTO – The city inspector and National Grid approve the system; you receive Permission to Operate (PTO). 6) Monitoring & Support – You get lifetime access to real-time app monitoring and our 25-year workmanship warranty.
What financial incentives are currently available for solar in Oneida, NY?
• Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): 30 % of the total system cost through at least 2032. • NY-SUN Megawatt Block Rebate: Up-front incentive of $0.20–$0.35 per watt, automatically applied to our quote. • NYS Residential Solar Tax Credit: 25 % of net cost, capped at $5,000. • Accelerated Depreciation (MACRS) for businesses: Recovers ~26 % of system cost in the first year. • Net Metering with National Grid: Full retail credit of excess kWh rolled over monthly for 20 years.
How much roof space and sunlight do I need for an effective system?
A typical 7 kW residential array needs about 400 sq ft of unshaded roof facing south, southeast, or southwest with a tilt between 15°–45°. Using bifacial or 430-W modules, we can reduce the area requirement by up to 18 %. Partial shading is mitigated with MLPE (module-level power electronics) to keep energy losses below 5 %.
Can I add battery storage or EV charging to my solar system?
Absolutely. Our modular design allows you to pair lithium-iron-phosphate (LFP) batteries from brands like Enphase or Tesla for whole-home backup or time-of-use savings. We pre-wire for Level-2 EV chargers and can integrate smart load management so solar, storage, and EV charging work seamlessly under a single app.
What warranties and maintenance services do you provide?
Solar panels carry a 25-year performance warranty (guaranteeing 92 % output in year 25), inverters are warrantied for 12–25 years depending on model, and our workmanship is covered for 25 years. Maintenance is minimal—an annual visual inspection and occasional cleaning suffice. We monitor system health remotely and dispatch technicians if any component underperforms.
