Frequently Asked Questions
Is solar energy a good investment in Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana?
Yes! Solar energy is an excellent long-term investment across rural areas of Ohio, Michigan, and Indiana. With rising electricity rates, advancements in solar technology, and federal incentives, solar systems can deliver a payback in as little as 4–10 years. At Superior Energy Solutions, we’ve been helping customers maximize their energy savings since 2009.
How does solar power work when the sun isn’t shining?
Our grid-tied solar energy systems are designed so you’ll always have power. When the sun isn’t shining, your system pulls electricity from the utility grid. When your system overproduces during sunny hours, the excess energy is sent back to the grid, often earning you net metering credits.
What kind of maintenance do solar panels require?
Solar energy systems are built to be low-maintenance and highly durable. With no moving parts, they typically require just an annual inspection and occasional cleaning. At Superior Energy Solutions, we offer optional maintenance plans for added peace of mind.
What solar incentives and rebates are available in my area?
The biggest benefit is the 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit (ITC), available for residential, commercial, agricultural, and nonprofit solar installations. Many rural businesses and farms may also qualify for USDA grants. We help you identify and apply for all eligible incentives to reduce your upfront cost.
We believe in educating our customers with honest, straightforward information—so you can make informed decisions with confidence.
