FAQs
What solar installation services do you provide in Rockwood?
We offer turnkey solar solutions that cover every stage of the project: site assessment, system design, utility-grade electrical engineering, permitting, procurement of high-efficiency panels and inverters, professional installation, grid interconnection, and post-installation monitoring. Whether you need a rooftop array for your home, a ground-mounted system for a farm, or a commercial solar upgrade, our licensed electricians and NABCEP-certified installers deliver a complete, code-compliant package.
How well do solar panels perform in Rockwood’s climate, and what savings can I expect?
Rockwood averages about 4.0–4.2 peak sun hours per day, which is ideal for modern high-efficiency panels. A properly sized 6 kW residential system can generate roughly 7,200–7,800 kWh annually, offsetting 70–100 % of a typical household’s electricity use. At today’s utility rates, that translates to $900–$1,100 in yearly savings, with payback periods of 7–10 years before incentives—and even faster when you apply the federal Investment Tax Credit and local rebates.
What steps do you take to ensure quality and efficiency during installation?
Quality starts with a detailed shade and structural analysis using drone imaging and PV design software. We specify Tier-1 panels with at least 25-year linear power warranties and UL-listed racking built for Rockwood’s wind and snow loads. Our electricians pull all required permits, install to NEC 2023 standards, torque-test every connection, and perform IV-curve testing to verify module performance. A final commissioning report and owner training session ensure you get an efficient system from day one.
Do I need special permits or inspections, and how are local regulations handled?
Yes. Rockwood and the surrounding township require electrical and building permits for any grid-tied solar array. We manage the entire compliance process: completing permit applications, providing engineered drawings, scheduling inspections with the local AHJ, and coordinating interconnection approval with Hydro One (or your regional utility). This turnkey approach removes the paperwork burden from homeowners and guarantees your system meets all local codes and utility standards.
What warranties and maintenance support come with your solar installations?
All systems include a 25-year manufacturer’s performance warranty on the panels, a 10–25-year product warranty on inverters (depending on model), and a 10-year workmanship warranty from us covering roof penetrations, wiring, and mounting hardware. We offer optional O&M plans that include annual cleaning, production analysis, and real-time monitoring alerts so any performance issue is addressed before it impacts your energy savings.
How long does the installation take, and will it disrupt my property?
Once permits are in hand, a typical 5–10 kW residential installation requires 1–2 days on site, while larger ground mounts or commercial arrays may take a week. We schedule delivery of materials to minimize driveway congestion, use protective mats to avoid lawn damage, and coordinate any brief power shut-offs with you in advance. Most homeowners find the process minimally disruptive, and we leave the site clean with all debris removed the same day.
