Irmo, South Carolina
Solar in Irmo, honestly explained.
Irmo sits on the north side of Lake Murray, and a lot of its homes were built in the last thirty years with simple, well-oriented roofs. That is good news for solar: fewer dormers and hips usually means more usable roof and a cleaner install.

Why Irmo Homeowners Go Solar
Lake Murray roofs
Waterfront and near-water lots often have great south and west exposure. West-facing roof space is worth more than people think here, because it produces into the late-afternoon Dominion peak.
Newer subdivisions
If your roof is under fifteen years old, you are in the sweet spot: solar goes on without a roof replacement first, and the panels and roof age out together.
Your Dominion bill
Irmo is Dominion Energy territory, so net metering and the November true-up apply. We design to offset your usage, not to oversize a system you do not need.

Frequently Asked Questions
How much can I save with solar in Irmo?
It depends on your roof, usage, and Dominion rate. Our estimate gives you an honest range for your specific address before any sales call.
Will solar work during power outages?
Only if you add a battery. A standard grid-tied system shuts off in an outage for safety; storage keeps your essentials running.
How long does installation take?
Most residential installs take one to two days on site. Permitting and utility interconnection add a few weeks around that.
What does solar cost after incentives?
Your net cost is the system price minus the 25% South Carolina credit. We show the full math in writing, with no federal credit assumed.
Do I need to replace my roof first?
If your roof has fewer than ~10 years left, we'll tell you to replace it first. Covering a bad roof with panels helps no one.
