New Orleans receives substantial sunshine throughout the year, making it well-suited for solar energy. Solar panels collect sunlight and turn it into electricity you can use right away. Any extra energy goes back to the grid or into a battery. That means you can still have power during outages if your system includes backup storage.
The city’s high electric rates make solar even more useful. Electric rates in New Orleans can be significant, making solar an attractive option for reducing energy costs. Solar helps cut those costs over time. Solar systems can often pay for themselves within 8-12 years, depending on system size, energy usage, and available incentives, and the panels often last 25 years or more.
Flooding and hurricanes are common in this region. A solar energy system with battery backup gives you more protection than traditional power lines. If the grid goes down, solar systems with battery backup and proper equipment can keep running key appliances like fridges, lights, and medical devices.
Our residential solar installations enable homeowners in New Orleans to significantly reduce their electricity bills, with many experiencing reductions of 70% to 90%, depending on the system size and their energy usage.
Each system is custom-designed to match your home’s energy needs, roof specifications, and budget requirements. We handle every aspect of your solar journey, from initial consultation through final activation and beyond.
Our team conducts thorough site assessments to determine optimal panel placement, considering factors like roof orientation, shading, and local weather patterns. This ensures maximum energy production and return on investment for your solar system.
Most homes in New Orleans can support solar panels. Roof-mounted panels are common, but we also install ground-mounted systems if your roof doesn’t face the right direction or gets too much shade.
We design each solar setup to fit the home. That includes checking your roof size, pitch, shade, and power usage. Our team gives you a custom plan with a clear breakdown of how many panels you need and how much power they will produce each year.
We offer three main types of solar systems:
We help you choose the right setup based on your needs, budget, and home layout.
Solar batteries store extra power your panels make during the day. That stored energy helps keep your lights, fridge, and other important items running at night or during an outage. In New Orleans, where storms often knock out power, batteries give your home more stability.
We install lithium-ion batteries that last long and charge quickly. They work with both new and existing solar systems. Our team sizes the battery based on your power needs, so you don’t pay for more than you need.
A solar battery system helps:
We also offer routine checks to make sure the battery keeps working smoothly.
Solar water heaters use the sun to warm your home’s water. They work well in New Orleans because of the strong sun and warm climate. This system reduces your gas or electric bill since it needs less energy to heat water.
We offer two main types:
Solar water heaters connect to your current plumbing. You still have hot water on cloudy days thanks to a backup heater.
This setup can reduce your water heating costs by 40-60% or more, depending on your current system and hot water usage. Many homeowners see payback in 4-8 years, depending on system costs and local energy rates. We help you pick the right system based on your household size, water use, and roof space.
We also install solar energy systems for businesses in the New Orleans area. Whether you run a small office, a large facility, or a retail space, solar can lower your power bills and help keep operations running during outages.
Our team installs:
We design each system based on your building size, power use, and business goals. All work meets local codes and includes help with permits and tax credits. Most systems pay off through monthly savings and can last for decades with minimal upkeep.
A solar system only works well if it’s installed correctly. Our team is based near New Orleans and knows how to build systems that handle the local climate. That includes rain, humidity, strong winds, and salt air.
We don’t use out-of-town crews or subcontractors. Every job is handled by trained local technicians. We use high-quality panels and batteries from top brands that stand up to extreme weather. All parts meet strict building codes for Orleans Parish and nearby areas.
Each installation comes with:
We also help with HOAs and city permits. That means no delays or surprises once the work starts.
You can buy your system outright or choose a financing plan. We work with lenders who offer different options to help make solar more affordable.
We also offer lease programs where you pay a set monthly fee to use the system while we handle the upkeep.
Our team helps you compare all choices and pick the one that fits your budget.
