  • Can I install a system myself?

    The short answer is no. This is one of the reasons why NV Energy LLC was created. There isn’t an easy way for someone to buy a system and to become proficient at installing it. 


    Here's what NV Energy LLC does for you:  

    • We complete lots of paperwork and we provide the solar survey to estimate solar production. 

    • We complete MASSCEC, Utility, DOER, PTS. 

    • Design the solar PV system to fit the needs of the client. 

    • Align the structural engineer for the project. Most municipalities require a registered structural engineer signature that the structure is strong enough before a building permit is issued. 

    • Align distributors.

  • Should I lease, make a zero-down payment, or own the solar PV system?

    It’s very enticing to say yes at a one-lump/upfront cost lease or zero-down contract. However, if you opt to not own your solar PV system, you give up your tax breaks, credits, and most/if not all of the SREC income. Owning a system can have an ROI/IRR 2x over leasing. 


    The goal is to provide you with a system that you own and can transfer to the next owner without a hitch. Figure that an install is $3.10/watt turnkey and then run the numbers with your CPA/Tax advisor.

  • I can’t stand the high pitched noise or the sight of a big inverter on the side of my house. What do you do about that?

    The invertors that we use are Enphase Microinvertors. They produce zero noise and are hidden under the solar panels. All the wiring is routed through a roof-mounted junction box, so the only wire you might see is a ground wire leading off of the roof to divert any lightning strikes away from the structure. There are some situations where conduits will be exposed, but we try to minimize this.

  • How long do the systems last?

  • Can I see electricity production in real time on a computer?

    Yes. You can see it on your smartphone, too. Rely on solar companies like us here at NV Energy LLC for your solar system installation. Call us today!

  • Can I do some of the work myself?

    To some extent, yes. You can work with us similar to This Old House style. However, if the work area is on scaffolding, you won't be with us. When you're ready to get started with your solar installation, be sure to give us a call.

  • Do I need a building permit?

    Yes! All work needs a permit before we can get started. Rely on solar companies like us here at NV Energy LLC for your solar system installation. Call us today!

  • How long does it take to install?

    Ground mount systems are the fastest to install. Roof mount systems have added time for engineer reviews, and the installation itself is a little slower. There is a lot of paperwork and approvals involved and this takes the most time. On average, projects take 3 months. 


    It's estimated that more than one in seven U.S. homes will have a rooftop solar PV system by 2030, according to Energy.gov. When you're ready to get started with your solar installation, be sure to give us a call.
