FAQs
Is Turtletown a good location for solar panels?
Yes. Turtletown receives an average of 4.5–5.0 peak sun-hours per day, which is ample for generating clean energy all year. Our modern panels also perform well in partial shade and on cooler winter days, so even varied mountain weather does not significantly reduce output.
How much can I expect to save on my electric bill?
Savings depend on system size, roof orientation, and current utility rates, but most homeowners in Turtletown see a 60–90 % reduction in their monthly bills. With the 30 % federal tax credit and Tennessee’s net-metering rules, the typical payback period is 7–11 years, after which the electricity produced is essentially free for the remaining 15–20 year life of the system.
What incentives or rebates are available in Turtletown?
Residents qualify for the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) that covers 30 % of the installed cost through 2032. Monroe County property owners may also apply for the TVA Green Connect rebate ($250 per kW, up to $1,000) when using a TVA-certified installer like us. Additionally, sales tax on solar equipment is waived in Tennessee, lowering the upfront cost about 9.25 %.
Will solar panels work during power outages?
A standard grid-tied system will shut down during an outage to protect utility workers. To keep your lights on, we can add a lithium-ion battery (Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ) and a smart inverter. This creates a hybrid system that island-powers your home automatically, giving 8–12 hours of critical-load backup depending on battery capacity and usage.
How much roof space do I need, and what if my roof isn’t ideal?
A typical 6 kW residential system in Turtletown requires about 350–400 sq ft of clear south- or southwest-facing roof. If your roof has shading, multiple angles, or insufficient space, we can design east-/west arrays, install high-efficiency panels to fit smaller areas, or recommend a ground-mount system positioned for maximum sun exposure.
What is included in your installation process and how long does it take?
Our turnkey service covers site assessment, engineering, permitting with Polk County, utility interconnection, mounting hardware, panels, inverter, monitoring app setup, and final inspection. Most residential projects are completed in 1–2 days on-site, with total timeline 4–8 weeks from contract signing to activation (the longest step is usually the utility approval).
