FAQs
Why should I choose a customized solar solution instead of a one-size-fits-all kit for my Pikeville property?
Every roof in Pike County is different—pitch, orientation, shading from the surrounding mountains, and the home’s yearly energy demand all vary. A customized design lets us optimize panel placement, inverter sizing, and wiring runs so you harvest the maximum kilowatt-hours possible while keeping material costs low. You also avoid oversizing or undersizing the system, which can shorten equipment life or delay your return on investment.
How does your on-site assessment process work in Pikeville?
After an initial phone consultation, our team schedules a free site visit. We use drone or ladder inspections to map roof geometry, measure sun exposure with a shade-analysis tool, and inspect your existing electrical service panel. We also review 12 months of utility bills. Within 3–5 business days you receive a digital proposal showing projected solar production, savings, component list, layout renderings, and financing options.
What state or local incentives can help reduce the cost of solar in Pikeville?
Kentucky homeowners qualify for the 30 % federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC). Pikeville customers served by Kentucky Power can apply for net metering at the full retail rate up to 45 kW, allowing you to bank excess generation for nighttime use. The city has no additional solar permitting fees, and Kentucky offers a sales-tax exemption on solar equipment, saving you 6 % on materials. We handle all paperwork to secure these benefits.
How long will it take from signing the contract to having my system turned on?
A typical timeline is 6–10 weeks: • 1 week – Site survey, engineering, and utility interconnection forms • 2 weeks – Permit approvals from Pikeville Building Codes department • 1–3 days – Roof and electrical installation • 1 week – Final inspections • 2–4 weeks – Utility meter swap and Permission to Operate (PTO) We keep you updated at every milestone and coordinate directly with Kentucky Power to speed up the PTO step.
What warranties and maintenance services do you provide?
Our standard package includes 25-year manufacturer warranties on panels, 12-year (extendable to 25-year) warranties on inverters, and a 10-year workmanship warranty covering leaks, wiring, and mounting hardware. We also provide a complimentary year of quarterly performance monitoring and on-site service. After that, affordable maintenance plans start at $12 per month and cover annual inspections, remote monitoring, and expedited repairs.
Can my customized solar system be expanded or paired with batteries later?
Absolutely. We design your system with “future-proof” electrical infrastructure—extra conduit runs, an appropriately sized combiner box, and an inverter that supports additional power modules or hybrid battery inputs. When you’re ready, we can add panels, install a lithium-ion battery bank for backup power, or integrate an EV charger without major re-wiring. This staged approach lets you spread out investments while keeping all components under a single warranty umbrella.
