Residential Solar Installation Services

Solar looks different in 2026, as the federal tax credit is gone and installed systems cost $2.50–$3.50 per watt. But your electric bill isn’t taking a break either, with rates up 32% over the past decade. That’s where NEDES comes in with trusted residential solar installation services. We help you tap into state incentives and smarter financing, so you lock in savings now, before they get reduced even more.

Coverage

What Do Solar Installation Services Cover?

Residential solar installation services cover everything a homeowner needs to generate their own electricity, from the first roof assessment to the final utility sign-off, including engineering, permitting, physical installation, and ongoing maintenance.

Our team packages every part of that journey into one accountable service, so you’re not managing separate contractors for design, permits, and hardware.

Our Services

End-to-End Solar Services: What Do We Offer at NEDES?

Our residential solar panel installation work covers the full lifecycle of a home system, not just the panels on the roof.

Rooftop Solar Panels

Most roofs just sit there doing nothing. We offer rooftop solar panel installation, helping you put yours to work with a system that actually pays for itself.

Solar + Battery Storage Combo

Your power stays ON even during an outage when you combine two forces: solar panels and battery storage. At NEDES, we make this process simple for you.

Ground-Mounted Solar Panels

If your roof’s shaded or angled wrong, we skip it entirely and put the panels on the ground instead. Note: For ground-mounted solar panels, we’ll find the sunniest spot on your property.

Solar for New Builds

Building a house right now is honestly the easiest time to add solar. We work it into your plans from the start and add solar for free electricity for many years to come.

Solar Panel Upgrade/Expansion

Using more power than you used to happens all the time. We offer solar panel system upgrades, simply adding more panels so your system keeps up.

Solar Panel Unmount & Remount

Need a new roof but already have panels up there? We take them down carefully and put them right back once you’re done.

Solar Removal & Reinstallation

Whether you’re moving your system somewhere else on the property or just switching things around, our experts handle the whole solar panel removal and reinstallation so nothing gets damaged.

System Add-On Panels & Inverters

You don’t need a whole new setup just because you need more power. Simply add solar panels to your existing system. We simply tack on extra panels and inverters to what’s already there.

Solar Roofing Bundle

If your roof needs work anyway, we knock out solar at the same time. Our team bundles both solar and roof replacement, so it’s one project, not two.

Solar System Installation Process

What is Our Solar Installation Workflow?

Our residential solar installation process follows a 6-step sequence from the first call to full power.

Site Assessment

First, we evaluate roof condition, orientation, and shading using satellite and on-site data.

Custom System Design

Our NABCEP PV Design Specialists size the array and inverter to match your actual usage history.

Permitting & Approvals

Next, we file for building permits and utility interconnection on your behalf.

Solar Installation

Then, a licensed crew completes a standard residential array in one to three days.

Inspection

Next comes inspection. Local authorities and your utility inspect the system before approval to operate.

Activation & Monitoring

Once permission to operate (PTO) is granted, your system goes live with real-time monitoring.

Tailored for Your Region

How Do We Tailor Installations to Your Local Conditions?

When you hire us for residential solar installation services, we adjust every design to the local climate, code, and utility requirements rather than applying one national template.

Coastal homes get wind- and corrosion-rated mounting hardware.
Hot, high-UV states like Arizona and Texas get panels and inverters rated for higher thermal tolerance.
Northern states with heavy snow loads get steeper tilt angles and reinforced racking.

Local permitting offices, HOA rules, and utility interconnection standards vary block by block, and our regional teams file accordingly instead of using a generic checklist.

Testimonials

We added a Powerwall to a system another company installed years ago. NEDES checked compatibility, filed the Dominion paperwork, and finished in a single day. It kicked in automatically the first time our block lost power this spring.

Frequently Asked Questions

Does my roof need to face south for solar to work?

No single orientation is required; east- and west-facing roofs can still produce strong output, though a professional shading and orientation assessment determines your actual expected yield.

What happens to my solar system if I sell my home?

Owned systems typically transfer with the home and can raise resale value; leased or financed systems require either a loan payoff or a lease transfer to the new owner.

Can solar panels work during a power outage?

Grid-tied systems without battery storage shut off automatically during outages for safety; a battery-backed system allows selected circuits to keep running.

How long does a residential solar system last?

Panels are typically rated for 25–30 years of production, though inverters and batteries usually need replacement sooner within that span.

Do I need to inform my home insurance company after installing solar?

Yes, insurers generally require updated dwelling coverage limits to reflect the added system value, or a claim involving the array could be underinsured.

What happens if a panel gets damaged after installation?

Most damage is covered under manufacturer or workmanship warranties, though causes like severe storms may fall under homeowner’s insurance instead.
