Residential solar. Done by an electrician.
Roof-mount and ground-mount PV arrays sized to your real usage. String, microinverter, and hybrid-battery options. Utility interconnect coordinated, net-metering paperwork filed, monitoring app set up before we leave.
Sized to your actual usage. Not your roof.
Most solar quotes start with how much roof you have. We start with 12 months of your power bills. The right system size is whatever offsets your real annual usage with a 10-15 percent margin, not whatever maxes out your south-facing slope.
A residential solar install is three coordinated systems: the array itself (panels, racking, conduit), the inverter system (string or microinverter, sometimes with hybrid-battery), and the utility interconnect (production meter, disconnect, paperwork with TVA-LPC). Each one has its own code, inspection, and timeline.
We pull your 12-month usage from the utility, run a load calc, and quote a system that offsets between 90 and 105 percent of your annual draw. Oversize 110+ percent and you produce power you sell back at wholesale rates — bad math in TVA territory. Undersize and you keep paying the utility for the gap.
We install string inverters (SolarEdge, SMA, Fronius) for simple south-facing roofs, microinverters (Enphase) for split-roof or shaded sites, and hybrid-battery inverters (Enphase IQ, SolarEdge EnergyHub) when battery backup is part of the scope. Every install includes the monitoring app set up on your phone before we leave the driveway.

Real solar. Real permits.
12-month usage analysis
We pull your power bills before the quote, not after. Sizing the system on real usage avoids overbuild and undersizing — both wasteful in TVA net-metering territory.
Roof structural assessment
Rafter sizing, span, and condition matter. We walk the attic, photograph the rafters, and confirm the roof can carry the load before we sell you the array. If the roof needs reinforcement or replacement first, we say so.
String, micro, or hybrid inverter
String inverter for simple roofs (cheapest per watt). Microinverter for split-pitch or partial shade (per-panel optimization). Hybrid inverter when batteries are in scope — Enphase IQ or SolarEdge EnergyHub.
TVA-LPC interconnect paperwork
Net-metering application, interconnect agreement, production meter coordination — all handled. Your local TVA distributor (KUB, Sevier County Electric, etc.) has specific requirements; we know each one.
Battery-ready installs
Even if battery isn’t in this phase, we can install a hybrid inverter and pre-wire for a future Enphase IQ Battery or Tesla Powerwall add-on. Avoids ripping out the inverter later.
Monitoring + handoff
Enphase Enlighten, SolarEdge mySolarEdge, or whichever platform matches your inverter brand. Set up on your phone, walked-through, and you see daily production from day one.

Text or call us first
Describe the job. We follow up with a phone chat to scope it, then we send your quote. Same-day for most residential.
On-site walk-through
For larger jobs, we come out, look at the panel, and talk through what you actually want. Free. No “let me get back to you.”
Itemized estimate
Every line item priced. Materials, labor, permit, inspection. You see exactly where the dollars go before you sign anything.
Job day · permits handled
We pull permits, coordinate with the county inspector, and arrive when we said we would. We protect your floors. We label every breaker. We test every circuit before we leave.
Inspection & sign-off
Inspector signs off, we walk you through what changed, we hand over the documentation. If anything ever flickers, you have our cell.
We had two solar companies quote us before Volt Pro. Both wanted to install 14kW based on the roof. Volt Pro pulled our actual bills, said 8.4kW was the right size for our usage, and saved us almost $20,000 vs the bigger systems. Working as intended a year in.
