Your local choice for solar electrical work in Imlay City, MI
Around Imlay City, many homes are older farmhouses and village houses that have been updated in stages. It is common to find a modern panel feeding some very old wiring. For solar electrical work in Lapeer County, our electricians sort out what can stay and what should be replaced.
The electrical side of going solar
Every solar system connects to your home at the electrical panel, and that is where many projects hit a snag. The size of the panel's bus limits how much solar can be connected, so an older or full panel may need upgrading or a different connection method. Your utility also has its own interconnection requirements. We sort out those details for Imlay City homeowners so the system passes inspection and receives permission to operate without delays.

Questions about solar electrical work in Imlay City
Do I need a panel upgrade for solar?
Sometimes. It depends on your panel's bus rating and main breaker size. We check and explain the options.

Yes. We complete electrical hookups for installer-supplied and owner-supplied systems.
