FAQs
What solar installation services does Solar Solutions Electrical provide in Shelbyville?

How much can I save on my electric bill by installing solar panels?
Savings depend on your roof orientation, shading, system size, utility rate, and energy-use habits. Most Shelbyville customers offset 70–110 % of their annual electricity consumption, translating to bill reductions of $80–$250 per month for typical homes and much higher for commercial properties. With current electric rates and available incentives, the average residential system pays for itself in 7–10 years and delivers 15–20 additional years of free power, yielding an internal rate of return comparable to or better than many traditional investments.
What incentives, rebates, or tax credits are available for Shelbyville residents?
1. Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC): 30 % credit on the total installed cost through 2032. 2. TVA Green Connect or net-metering credit: Earn bill credits for excess energy exported to the grid (program caps apply). 3. Local property-tax exemption: Solar equipment added to a home in Shelby County is currently not reassessed for property-tax purposes. 4. USDA REAP grants: Up to 50 % funding for qualifying farms and rural businesses. We monitor incentive changes constantly and prepare all necessary documentation so you can capture every available benefit.
How long does the solar installation process take from consultation to system activation?
For most residential projects, the timeline is 6–10 weeks: • 1–2 weeks: Free site visit, proposal, and contract. • 1 week: Engineering and utility paperwork. • 2–4 weeks: Permit and utility approval. • 1–3 days: Physical installation. • 1–2 weeks: Final inspection, utility meter swap, and system turn-on. Commercial systems may take longer because of structural reviews and utility studies, averaging 10–16 weeks. We provide a detailed schedule and keep you updated at every milestone.
What kind of maintenance do solar panels require and what warranties do you offer?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free because they have no moving parts. Occasional rainfall usually keeps panels clean; if heavy dust, pollen, or bird droppings accumulate, a gentle rinse with a garden hose is sufficient. We recommend an annual visual inspection and performance check, which we provide at no charge for the first year. Our panels carry a 25-year performance warranty and a 12-year (extendable to 25-year) product warranty. Inverters are covered for 10–25 years depending on model, and our workmanship is warranted for 10 years. Optional monitoring alerts us instantly if performance deviates, allowing proactive service.
Will my solar system work during a power outage?
Standard grid-tied systems shut down automatically during an outage to protect utility line workers. If you want backup power, we can integrate a battery storage system such as Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ Battery, or install a hybrid inverter with generator input. Batteries keep critical loads—lights, refrigerator, internet, medical devices—running for several hours to several days, depending on capacity. During daylight, the PV array recharges the batteries, providing ongoing energy independence until grid service is restored.
