FAQs
What solar installation services does Durable Performance Electrical provide in Oneida?
We offer turnkey residential and small-commercial solar solutions, including site assessment, system design, equipment procurement, permitting with Oneida City and Madison/Oneida County authorities, professional installation, utility interconnection, and performance monitoring. Our NABCEP-certified electricians handle every step in-house so you receive a seamless, code-compliant solar system built for decades of reliable power.
What is the typical timeline for a solar project, from consultation to system activation?
Most projects in Oneida take 6–10 weeks. Week 1: free on-site consultation and shading analysis. Week 2–3: custom engineering, ROI modeling, and contract signing. Week 4–5: permitting with the city or county building department and National Grid interconnection approval. Week 6: delivery of panels, inverters, and mounting hardware. Week 7: installation—usually 1–2 days for a 7–12 kW rooftop array. Week 8: final electrical inspection and utility meter swap. By Week 9–10 your system is energized and the monitoring app shows real-time production.
What incentives or tax credits can Oneida residents use to lower the cost of going solar?
Homeowners can combine the 30 % federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) with New York State’s Solar Energy System Equipment Credit (up to $5,000) and NY-SUN incentives that currently pay $0.20–$0.30 per watt, depending on funding tiers. In addition, net metering through National Grid credits excess summer production against winter bills, further boosting savings. We calculate all incentives for you and supply the documentation needed for tax filing and NY-SUN grant approval.
How much electricity will my solar array generate in Oneida’s climate?
Central New York averages 4.0–4.2 sun-hours per day annually. A well-oriented 10 kW rooftop system will typically produce 11,500–12,500 kWh per year—about 100 % of the usage for an energy-efficient 2,000 sq ft home. Our design software factors in roof tilt, azimuth, shading, and historical NASA weather data specific to Oneida to give you a production estimate with ±3 % accuracy.
What maintenance and warranties come with a Durable Performance Electrical solar installation?
Solar arrays are largely maintenance-free, but we include a complimentary annual inspection for the first three years. Modules carry a 25-year linear power warranty and a 12-year product warranty (extendable to 25). Inverters are covered for 12–25 years depending on model, and our workmanship is guaranteed for 10 years. If a component underperforms, we handle manufacturer claims and labor at no cost during the warranty period.
Do you offer financing, and what is the usual payback period for a solar system in Oneida?
Yes, we partner with local credit unions and national green-energy lenders to provide $0-down loans, 5- to 20-year terms, and APRs starting at 4.49 %. Cash buyers generally see a 7–9 year payback after incentives. With financing, the monthly loan payment is often equal to or less than your current electric bill, so you are cash-flow positive from day one while building equity in your home.
