Residential installations typically take 1-3 days, with additional time required for inspections and utility interconnection.
Are solar panels safe and durable?
Yes, panels withstand extreme weather and include 25-year warranties. Our 25-year workmanship guarantee ensures long-term reliability.
Can HOAs restrict solar installations?
Some HOAs have restrictions, but we help navigate covenants and advocate for solar rights in Georgia communities.
How do solar panels affect home value?
Studies show solar increases home value by approximately the system's cost, with 130% ROI when combined with tax credits.
What financing options are available?
We offer residential and commercial financing, grants, and USDA REAP programs to make solar accessible with positive cash flow.
