FAQs
What sets your Sale Creek solar installation team apart from other providers?
Our crew combines 20+ years of licensed electrical work in Hamilton County with NABCEP-certified solar credentials. Because we live and work in the Sale Creek area, we understand local building codes, TVA interconnection rules, and regional weather patterns. We design every system in-house, never subcontract the wiring, and use Tier-1 equipment, ensuring you get a code-compliant, efficient, and long-lasting solar array.
How does the site assessment and quotation process work?
1) Phone consultation – We discuss your energy goals and collect 12 months of utility data. 2) Free on-site visit – A technician measures roof pitch, shading, structural integrity, and main-service capacity. 3) System design & proposal – Within 3–5 days you receive a digital report showing panel layout, production estimates (based on Sale Creek’s 4.6 average sun-hours/day), projected savings, and available incentives. 4) Final review – We answer questions, adjust the design if necessary, and lock in your price before submitting permit and TVA interconnection paperwork.
What types of solar panels, inverters, and storage options do you offer?
We install high-efficiency monocrystalline panels from REC, Q-Cells, and Silfab, each backed by a 25-year performance warranty. For inverters you can choose between Enphase micro-inverters (module-level optimization, easy future expansion) and SolarEdge HD-Wave string inverters with DC optimizers (lower upfront cost, excellent monitoring). If you want backup power, we integrate Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery units that provide whole-home or essential-loads coverage during grid outages.
How long will my solar installation take, and will my power be interrupted?
From signed contract to energization typically ranges 4–8 weeks, depending on permitting and utility approval. Actual on-site installation averages 1–3 days for a standard 7–10 kW roof-mounted array. We coordinate with you so electrical shut-offs are minimal—usually a single 1-to-2-hour window while we land conductors in your main service panel.
How much will I save by going solar in Sale Creek?
Sale Creek homeowners pay about 12–13 ¢/kWh through EPB/TVA. A typical 7 kW system produces roughly 9,800 kWh per year, offsetting 70–90 % of an average household’s usage and saving $1,000–$1,300 annually. With the 30 % Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and potential TVA Green Connect™ incentives, most customers achieve a net payback in 7–10 years and enjoy 15–20 years of free electricity thereafter.
What warranties, maintenance, and support do you provide after installation?
• Equipment – 25-year performance guarantee on panels, 10–25-year manufacturer warranty on inverters, and 10-year warranty on batteries. • Workmanship – 5-year labor warranty covering roof penetrations, wiring, and mounting hardware. • Monitoring – Lifetime access to a web/app portal that tracks production, consumption (with CTs), and alerts us to issues. • Annual wellness check – We offer one free inspection in year one and low-cost service plans for cleaning, rapid shutdown testing, and performance auditing to keep your system operating at peak efficiency.
