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 New Troy homeowners so the system passes inspection and receives permission to operate without delays.

What you get when you book a solar electrician in New Troy, MI

Interconnection wiring: Conductors and conduit from the array or inverter to the service.
Inverters and combiners: String inverters, microinverter combiners and rapid shutdown.

Panel upgrades for solar: Service and panel changes where the existing bus cannot accept solar.

Solar Electrician in New Troy: common questions

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.

Can you connect a system someone else installed?

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

Does solar work during an outage?

Only with battery storage or a special inverter. Standard grid-tied systems shut down when the grid is off.

Does solar make sense in New Troy, Michigan?

Solar produces well in Michigan from spring through fall, with lower output in winter. An installer's production estimate for your roof will give you real numbers.
