FAQs
How does a solar installation benefit homeowners and businesses in Robbins?
A well-designed solar array immediately reduces or eliminates your electric bill, shields you from rising utility rates, and can increase property value. Robbins receives ample sunlight year-round, allowing systems to generate a high percentage of your annual electricity needs. Commercial users also benefit from predictable operating costs and a positive sustainability profile, which can attract eco-conscious customers and tenants.
What incentives or rebates are available for solar projects in Robbins?
Robbins residents can leverage the 30 % Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), accelerated MACRS depreciation for businesses, state property-tax exemptions on the added value of the system, and many utility-specific net-metering programs that credit excess power sent back to the grid. Our team reviews your address and utility provider to capture every local rebate or solar renewable energy credit (SREC) your project qualifies for.
How long does the installation process take from signing to energization?
For most residential projects, the full timeline is 6 –10 weeks: 1–2 weeks for detailed engineering and permitting, 1 day for onsite installation, 1 week for inspection, and 2–4 weeks for utility interconnection approval. Larger commercial systems may take 10–16 weeks due to extended design, utility studies, and switchgear upgrades. We provide a detailed Gantt chart so you know what to expect at every stage.
Can I add battery storage or an EV charger to my solar system later?
Yes. We design every Robbins solar array with future expandability in mind. Our inverters include battery-ready ports, and we install conduit runs for a Level-2 EV charger. Whether you add a lithium-ion storage unit next year or an electric vehicle in five years, your existing system will integrate seamlessly without costly re-work.
What kind of maintenance does a solar array require in Robbins’ climate?
Solar panels are largely maintenance-free. Robbins’ moderate rainfall keeps modules relatively clean; an annual visual inspection and light rinsing after pollen season are usually sufficient. We remotely monitor your system’s output 24/7 and dispatch a technician if performance deviates by more than 5 %. All panels carry a 25-year performance warranty and our workmanship warranty covers labor for 10 years.
Will a solar installation keep my power on during grid outages?
A standard grid-tied solar system automatically shuts down during an outage to protect lineworkers. If you want backup power, we can include a hybrid inverter and lithium battery bank that isolates critical circuits—such as refrigeration, medical equipment, or office servers—within milliseconds. During daylight, solar panels recharge the batteries, allowing extended operation without a generator.
