Questions about going solar in Knoxville
Can’t find your answer? Call (865) 800-8702 to talk to a real person in our Knoxville office.
Will solar panels keep my power on during an outage?
K
L
Not by themselves. Grid-tied panels switch off when the grid goes down. To keep power on, pair solar with battery backup or add a Generac standby generator. We’ll explain which fits your home at the free estimate.
What size generator do I need?
K
L
It depends on whether you want to back up the whole home or only essential circuits like the HVAC, fridge, well pump and medical devices. We size it at the free in-home assessment and coordinate the natural gas or propane hookup with our trusted local partners, so you have one point of contact.
Is there still a federal tax credit for home solar?
K
L
No. The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit ended for home systems installed after December 31, 2025. Solar can still pay off through lower power bills and backup during outages, and some utility, local and manufacturer incentives may apply. Please check your situation with a tax professional.
What warranty do I get?
K
L
Every solar system we install comes with a 5-year workmanship warranty at no extra cost. Most panels and parts carry a 25-year manufacturer warranty and batteries usually 10 years. You get all warranty documents at installation.
Do you offer financing?
K
L
Yes. We offer home energy financing for solar, batteries, generators and EV chargers. Ask about options at your free estimate.
What happens at the free estimate?
