Services
Solar Grid Tie
Grid-tie solar systems offset up to 80% of energy consumption by connecting directly to the utility grid. These systems use net metering credits to balance energy production and consumption throughout the year. Ideal for homeowners seeking maximum return on investment through reduced utility bills while maintaining grid connectivity for supplemental power needs.
Solar + Backup
Hybrid solar systems combine grid connectivity with battery storage for uninterrupted power during outages. These systems enable 100% energy offset while providing backup power for essential loads or entire homes. Designed for reliability with automatic generator integration capabilities to maintain battery charge during extended low-light periods.
Solar Structures
Specialized solar mounting solutions for diverse property types including ground mounts, pole mounts, and ballasted roof systems. Engineered for optimal sun exposure and structural integrity in Arkansas' climate conditions. Designed to accommodate both residential and commercial applications with varying energy requirements.
Generator Integration
Standby generator solutions that complement solar installations for complete energy security. Systems automatically activate during grid outages to maintain battery charge and power critical loads. Designed for seamless operation with solar arrays and battery storage systems to ensure continuous power availability.

Questions
How do solar panels generate electricity?
Panels create DC power converted to AC by inverters. Excess energy receives kWh credits from utilities for later use.
What's the cost of a typical solar system?
7kW grid-tie systems range $19,000-$27,000 depending on configuration and site requirements.
Are there tax incentives available?
Federal 30% tax credit applies through 2025 with no Arkansas state incentives currently available.
Do systems work during power outages?
Standard grid-tie systems require sunlight; hybrid systems with batteries provide 24/7 backup power.
How long do solar panels last?
Premium panels maintain 85-92% output after 25 years with expected performance beyond 35 years.
Can solar systems include generators?
Yes, generators automatically maintain battery charge during extended outages while optimizing fuel efficiency.
