FAQs
What solar services does Sustainable Future Electrical provide in Soddy-Daisy?
We offer turnkey solar solutions for residential, commercial, and agricultural customers in Soddy-Daisy and the greater Hamilton County area. Our team handles every step—site evaluation, system design, permitting with the City of Soddy-Daisy and TVA, equipment procurement, professional installation, grid interconnection, and final inspection. We also integrate battery storage, EV charging stations, and smart-home energy management to maximize your energy independence.
How much can I save by installing solar panels on my Soddy-Daisy home or business?
Savings depend on your roof size, orientation, shading, current utility rate, and energy-use habits, but most local homeowners offset 60–100 % of their annual electricity needs. With TVA’s average residential rate of about 13 ¢/kWh, a typical 7 kW system can save $1,000–$1,300 per year and pay for itself in 8–12 years. Commercial customers often see even faster paybacks because they can deduct depreciation in addition to claiming tax credits.
Is my property in Soddy-Daisy suitable for solar energy?
Soddy-Daisy receives around 4.5–5.0 peak sun hours per day—ample sunlight for productive solar generation. Ideal sites have 200+ square feet of south, southeast, or southwest-facing roof space with minimal shade between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. We offer free on-site assessments or remote drone/Google Earth analyses to check roof age, angle, structural integrity, and shading. If your roof is not optimal, we can design ground-mounted arrays or solar carports to capture maximum sun exposure.
What incentives, rebates, and tax credits are available for solar installations in Tennessee?
• Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC): Claim 30 % of total system cost (equipment + labor) on your federal taxes through 2032. • MACRS Accelerated Depreciation: Businesses can deduct ~26 % of the system cost in the first year, significantly reducing tax liability. • TVA Dispersed Power Production (DPP) Rider: Qualifying systems up to 80 MW can sell excess energy to TVA at avoided-cost rates. • Local property-tax exemption: Tennessee excludes the added value of solar equipment from property-tax assessments. We help you secure all paperwork, file the IRS Form 5695, and navigate TVA’s interconnection agreements so you capture every available dollar.
How long does the installation process take and will it disrupt my daily routine?
From signed contract to flip-of-the-switch, most residential projects take 6–10 weeks. Permitting and TVA approval account for roughly half that time, while on-site work typically lasts 1–3 days for homes and 1–2 weeks for larger commercial arrays. Our licensed electricians coordinate with you to minimize disruptions—power is usually off for only 1–2 hours during the final wiring. We maintain a clean job site and follow all local safety codes so you can continue daily activities with little interruption.
What kind of maintenance and warranty do solar panels require?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free. Panels have no moving parts and are designed to withstand hail, wind, and Tennessee humidity. We recommend a quick visual inspection and occasional rinsing with a garden hose if pollen or dust accumulates. Our packages include a 25-year manufacturer’s warranty on panels, a 10–25-year warranty on inverters (extendable), and a 5-year workmanship warranty from Sustainable Future Electrical. Remote monitoring via smartphone lets you track performance; if production dips, we’ll be alerted and can service your system promptly.
