FAQs
How do I know if my home or business in Tazewell is a good candidate for solar power?
Most properties in Tazewell receive ample sun exposure, but the best candidates have unshaded south-, east-, or west-facing roofs with minimal tree cover. During our free on-site assessment, we evaluate roof angle, material, age, and any shading issues with specialized software to estimate annual production. Even if roof space is limited, ground-mount or carport options may still make solar viable.
What incentives or rebates are available for solar installations in Tazewell?
Homeowners and businesses can claim the 30 % federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) on the total system cost through 2032. Tennessee residents may also qualify for TVA’s Green Connect program, which offers performance-based credits for every kilowatt-hour your array exports. Additionally, accelerated MACRS depreciation is available for commercial projects, and certain rural customers may be eligible for USDA REAP grants covering up to 50 % of project costs. We guide you through all paperwork to maximize savings.
How long does the installation process take from contract to energized system?
A typical residential project in Tazewell takes 6–10 weeks once you approve the proposal. Design and permitting usually take 2–3 weeks, utility interconnection approval about 1–2 weeks, and actual on-site installation 1–3 days depending on system size. After installation, final inspections and utility meter swap add another 1–2 weeks before your system is officially turned on. Commercial systems follow a similar sequence but may run 2–4 months because of larger scale and engineering review.
What kind of maintenance does a solar array require in our region?
Solar panels are virtually maintenance-free. Rainfall in Tazewell generally keeps panels clean; however, an annual visual inspection is recommended to check for debris, branch growth, or damage from storms. We offer low-cost maintenance plans that include a yearly performance check, array wash if needed, and infrared scanning of electrical connections. Inverters have self-diagnostic apps that alert you—and us—if a fault occurs so we can respond quickly.
How do solar panels perform during cloudy days or winter months in Tazewell?
Solar panels produce electricity whenever there is daylight, although output drops on cloudy days. Over a full year, Tazewell averages about 4.6 peak sun-hours per day, meaning your system is designed with seasonal variability in mind. Net metering with Powell Valley Electric Cooperative or other local utilities lets excess summer production offset lower winter output, balancing your bill across 12 months.
What warranties and workmanship guarantees do you provide?
We install Tier-1 panels backed by 25-year manufacturer product and performance warranties, micro-inverters with 25-year coverage, and racking with 20-year protection. Reliable Power Electrical adds a 10-year workmanship warranty covering roof penetrations, wiring, and labor. Should any component fail within warranty, we handle the manufacturer claim, procure replacements, and perform service at no extra cost to you.
