FAQs
What types of solar installations do you specialize in for homeowners and businesses in Oneida?
We handle grid-tied, hybrid, and off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems for residential roofs, ground mounts, carports, and commercial facilities. Our NABCEP-certified electricians design each array to match local weather patterns, roof orientation, shading profile, and Oneida’s utility interconnection standards.
How long does a typical residential solar installation take from contract signing to commissioning?
For most Oneida homes, the timeline is 6–10 weeks. Design and permitting take 2–3 weeks, utility approval 1–2 weeks, equipment procurement about 1 week, on-site installation 1–3 days, and final inspection/utility meter swap another 1–2 weeks. Larger or more complex projects may require additional time, but we keep you updated at every step.
Will solar panels work reliably during Oneida’s snowy winters and cloudy days?
Yes. High-efficiency monocrystalline panels generate power in diffuse light, and our 30°–40° mounting angles promote snow slide-off. We also use microinverters or DC optimizers to limit production loss if some modules are partially covered. While winter output is lower, annual production still offsets 85–110 % of typical electric consumption when the system is properly sized.
What incentives and financing options are available for solar in Oneida?
Homeowners can claim the 30 % federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC). New York State offers the NY-Sun megawatt block rebate (currently $0.20–$0.35 per watt, subject to availability) and a 25 % state tax credit up to $5,000. Commercial customers may qualify for bonus depreciation and NYSERDA grants. We partner with local banks and credit unions to provide $0-down solar loans, leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs).
How does your company ensure electrical safety and code compliance during installation?
Our master electricians follow the National Electrical Code (NEC) 2023 and New York State Fire Code. We install rapid-shutdown equipment, arc-fault protection, and properly sized overcurrent devices. All conductors run in UV-rated conduit or PV wire, neatly labeled for first-responder safety. Every project receives a detailed as-built plan set and passes both municipal and utility inspections before energization.
What kind of maintenance and warranty coverage do you provide after installation?
Solar arrays are low-maintenance, but we include a complimentary annual checkup for the first 5 years: thermal imaging, production analysis, and hardware torque testing. Panels carry 25-year performance warranties and 12-year product warranties; inverters are covered for 10–25 years depending on model. Our workmanship is warranted for 10 years, and our local Oneida service team is available within 48 hours for any issue.
