Solar makes sense in St. James Parish not just because of the climate, but because of the savings opportunities, policy advantages, and strong solar exposure throughout the region.
St. James Parish receives between 5.0 to 5.5 peak sun hours per day, according to the National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL). This makes the area well-suited for solar production, even when factoring in humidity and cloud cover.
Through 2032, homeowners and businesses can claim the 30% Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC). This credit applies to the total cost of the solar system, including equipment, labor, permitting, and associated battery storage.
Under Louisiana law (La. R.S. 47:1706), the added value a solar energy system brings to your property is not subject to additional property tax assessments, as long as the system is for personal use and not sold to others.
While full retail net metering ended for new Louisiana customers after 2019, utilities like Entergy Louisiana offer net billing. This allows you to send excess energy to the grid and receive compensation, though at a wholesale or avoided-cost rate. We help you evaluate how that affects your savings and ROI before any commitment.
At Solar Genie AI, we take care of every detail from utility paperwork to installation and long-term monitoring. We’re licensed, local, and focused on delivering dependable results for homeowners and businesses in St. James Parish and surrounding areas.
We hold a valid Louisiana electrical contractor’s license and carry full general liability insurance. We also follow National Electrical Code (NEC) compliance and utility interconnection guidelines. Every system we install is permitted, inspected, and approved before activation.
We tailor every solar system to match your current electricity usage, roof pitch, direction, shading, local weather patterns, and goals such as bill offset, backup power, or EV charging readiness. We use solar production models like PVWatts® and HelioScope to create accurate system projections, backed by on-site measurements.
Before installation begins, you receive a proposal that includes a complete cost breakdown, permit and utility process timeline, energy production estimate (kWh/year), projected bill savings, and available federal incentives and utility policies. Our typical project timeline from signed agreement to utility approval is 4 to 6 weeks, depending on permitting and weather.
Louisiana weather brings sun, heat, humidity, and occasional storms. Your solar system needs to stand up to all of it. We build for resilience and year-round output.
We install Tier 1 solar panels that meet industry-recognized standards such as UL 61730, IEC 61215, and IEC 61701 for performance and durability, including salt mist resistance. All inverters used are UL 1741 certified and comply with IEEE 1547 for safe and reliable grid interaction.
Our racking systems are engineered to withstand wind speeds up to 160 mph, depending on roof type and local code based on ASCE 7-16. We use reinforced aluminum or galvanized steel mounting hardware with flashing that prevents roof leaks.
We provide real-time solar monitoring tools that give you 24/7 access to system performance data. These platforms help you track energy production, spot issues early, and maintain consistent solar output over time.
We don’t just install panels and leave. We stand behind our systems with warranty coverage, ongoing maintenance, and local support when you need it.
We offer annual or twice-a-year maintenance packages that include visual inspections, electrical checks, inverter diagnostics, cleaning if needed, and system optimization reports. Routine checkups help prevent performance loss due to debris, weathering, or wear.
All systems we install include a 25-year power output warranty on panels, 10 to 25-year warranty on inverters depending on the brand, workmanship warranty on installation and wiring, and manufacturer coverage on racking and hardware. If something underperforms, we handle warranty coordination and support on your behalf.
Whether you’re a homeowner looking to reduce your electric bill or a business exploring long-term energy savings, Solar Genie AI delivers local expertise with high-performing systems built for Louisiana.
We walk you through every step from design and paperwork to activation and post-installation support. No pressure, no hidden fees, just honest solar advice and service you can trust.
