Solar Site Assessment
A site assessment is the critical first step toward a successful solar project. By evaluating your property up front, potential issues are identified and addressed early in the design process — resulting in a more efficient, cost-effective and reliable system.
Your assessment report also helps estimate potential energy savings and the return on your investment, reducing technical risk while maximizing long-term production.
- Roof condition, pitch, orientation and shading analysis
- Review of 12 months of utility usage
- Production estimate and savings projection
Custom Solar Installation
Our Custom Solar Installation is a tailored solution designed for your unique energy needs. Our expert technicians carefully assess your energy usage patterns, property size, available roof space and other factors to design and install a system that maximizes energy production and savings.
We handle permitting, HOA approvals and utility interconnection, and our elite installation crews complete most residential rooftops in one to two days.
- Custom solar designs from local solar advisors
- Safe, reliable installation by experienced crews
- Premium Q CELLS and VSUN panels
Battery Storage & Energy Efficiency
Store the energy your panels produce and use it when you need it most — in the evening, during peak rates, or when storms knock out the grid. We install Tesla and LG battery systems sized to your critical loads or your whole home.
By optimizing both solar production and overall energy efficiency, homeowners achieve a more sustainable and cost-effective energy solution for the entire household.
- Tesla Powerwall and LG battery storage
- Backup power during Georgia storm outages
- Energy efficiency upgrades, including rechargeable LED lighting
Roofing Services
Solar should sit on a roof that will outlast it. If your shingles are near the end of their life, we can replace your roof before installation so everything is protected under one plan.
Every roof penetration we make is sealed to manufacturer standards and backed by our 5-year roof penetration warranty.
- Roof replacement ahead of solar installation
- Panel removal and reinstallation
- 5-year roof penetration warranty
Solar Maintenance
Our maintenance services are designed to keep your system operating at peak efficiency. Regular inspections catch issues like debris, loose wiring or inverter faults before they cost you production.
Already have solar from another installer? We can inspect and service most systems.
- Visual and electrical system inspections
- Inverter and monitoring troubleshooting
- Production checks against your performance guarantee
Commercial & Ground-Mount Solar
Businesses, churches, schools and property owners use solar to lock in predictable energy costs. We design and install large rooftop arrays as well as ground-mounted systems for properties with open land.
Commercial projects may still qualify for federal incentives — ask us about current eligibility for your project.
- Large-format rooftop arrays
- Ground-mount systems for open acreage
- Reduce operating costs and your carbon footprint

Performance guarantee
From sunlight to savings
- Panels convert sunlight into DC electricity

- Extra energy charges your battery or is credited by your utility
Common questions
How much does solar cost with 1st Solar?
Every system is custom-designed, so pricing depends on your energy use, roof and equipment choices. We offer free consultations and $0-down options so you can compare your current power bill against a solar plan before committing to anything.
Is the federal solar tax credit still available?
The 30% residential tax credit (Section 25D) ended for homeowner-owned systems installed after December 31, 2025. Solar can still pay off through lower utility bills and financing or lease options — we'll walk you through what applies to your home today.
Does Georgia Power buy back my extra energy?
Georgia Power and many EMCs offer buy-back programs that credit you for excess solar energy you send to the grid. Rates vary by utility, which is why we often pair systems with battery storage so you use more of your own power.
Will solar work on an older home or roof?
Often, yes — one of our customers went solar on a home built in 1955. We assess your roof during the site visit and can handle roofing replacement before installation if needed.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs take one to two days on the roof. Design, permitting and utility approval add a few weeks, and we handle all of that paperwork for you.
What warranties do I get?
25 years on panels, 12 years on the inverter (upgradeable to 25), 10 years on workmanship, 5 years on roof penetrations, plus a production performance guarantee.
