FAQs
What are the main benefits of installing solar panels in Sale Creek?
Going solar lowers or eliminates your monthly electric bill, protects you from rising utility rates, and increases the value of your property. Because Sale Creek receives plentiful year-round sunshine—about 4.7 peak sun-hours per day—a properly sized system can generate most of the electricity your home or business needs. In addition, solar energy is clean and renewable, reducing your carbon footprint and supporting a more sustainable local grid.
Is my Sale Creek property a good candidate for solar power?
Most roofs in the Sale Creek area are suitable as long as they have 300–400 square feet of relatively shade-free space facing south, southeast, or southwest. During a free site assessment, our team measures roof angle, orientation, shading, and structural integrity. If rooftop placement is not ideal, we can design a ground-mounted system. Because Sale Creek is in climate zone 4A with mild winters and strong summer sun, solar performs well here as long as shading from tall pines or neighboring buildings is minimized.
What incentives, rebates, or tax credits are available for solar in Tennessee?
Through 2032, residential and commercial customers can claim a 30 % Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the total installed cost of their system. Tennessee does not tax solar equipment at the state level, and Hamilton County offers a property-tax exemption on the added value solar brings. Depending on your utility (EPB, Volunteer Energy Cooperative, or TVA direct service), production-based rebates or net-metering credits may also apply. We review every customer’s location and utility account to capture all eligible incentives and handle the paperwork for you.
What does the installation process with Sustainable Future Electrical look like?
1. Free on-site evaluation and custom proposal. 2. Design approval and contract signing. 3. Permit, utility interconnection, and incentive paperwork (handled by us). 4. Professional installation, usually 1–2 days for a typical 8–10 kW residential array. 5. Inspection by local code officials and meter swap by your utility. 6. System commissioning and customer walkthrough, where we explain monitoring, maintenance, and warranty coverage. From start to finish most projects take 4–8 weeks, depending on permit and utility timelines.
How long will my solar system last and what maintenance is required?
Tier-1 monocrystalline panels carry 25- to 30-year performance warranties and often produce electricity for 35 years or more. Inverters are warranted for 10–25 years depending on model. Solar arrays have no moving parts, so maintenance is minimal: visual inspections, an annual rinse with a garden hose if pollen buildup is heavy, and occasional monitoring of production through the app we provide. Sustainable Future Electrical offers optional maintenance plans and will handle any warranty claims on your behalf.
Will my solar panels keep the lights on during a power outage?
A standard grid-tied solar array shuts off when the utility grid goes down to protect line workers. If backup power is important to you, we can integrate a battery storage system such as Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery. The battery stores excess solar energy and automatically powers essential loads—refrigeration, lights, internet, well pump—during outages. Our designers will size the battery bank based on your priorities and budget, and the entire system still qualifies for the 30 % Federal ITC.
