FAQs
How efficient are the solar panels you install in Tazewell?
We use Tier-1 monocrystalline modules that reach 20–22 % conversion efficiency—among the highest available on the market. Because of Tazewell’s moderate climate and relatively clear solar resource (about 4.3 peak sun-hours per day on average), these high-efficiency panels allow most homeowners to offset 90–100 % of their annual electricity demand when sized correctly.
What incentives or tax credits can Tazewell residents and businesses claim?
Customers can take advantage of the 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) through 2032. Virginia also offers property-tax exemptions for qualifying solar equipment, and Appalachian Power’s net-metering program credits you at the full retail rate for any excess energy you send back to the grid. In addition, our team helps you monetize Solar Renewable Energy Certificates (SRECs) for extra annual income.
What is the typical installation timeline for a solar project in Tazewell?
From signed contract to energization, most residential systems are completed in 6–10 weeks. Design/engineering takes 1 – 2 weeks, permitting and utility approval 2 – 4 weeks (Tazewell County building and zoning departments), on-site installation 1–3 days, and final inspection/interconnection another 1 – 2 weeks. Commercial projects may span 8–16 weeks, depending on size and utility study requirements.
How much maintenance will my solar array require?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free. The panels have no moving parts and come with 25-year power warranties. We recommend an annual visual inspection and an optional cleaning if pollen, dust, or snow accumulation reduces output (usually less than 5 %). Our monitoring portal alerts you to any performance anomalies, and our workmanship warranty covers on-site service calls for the first 10 years.
Can the panels handle Tazewell’s weather, including heavy snow and hail?
Yes. The modules we install are certified to IEC 61215/61730 standards, with hail-impact testing up to 1-inch ice balls at 50 mph and wind-load ratings exceeding 140 mph. We mount panels at 25–35° tilt so that snow slides off quickly, and racking is engineered to meet or exceed Tazewell County’s 30 psf ground-snow load requirement. You’ll still generate some power on cloudy or snowy days.
What financing and ownership options do you provide?
We offer cash purchase, $0-down solar loans (5–25-year terms, APRs from 2.99 %), and operating leases or power-purchase agreements (PPAs) for qualified commercial clients. Our finance partners design packages so that your monthly solar payment is usually lower than your current electric bill, generating immediate net savings while you build equity in the system.
