Connecting solar or storage means meeting both the electrical code and your utility's interconnection rules. The main panel has limits on how much power can be fed back into it, so some homes need a panel upgrade or a different connection point. Batteries need careful placement, the right clearances and a decision about which circuits they back up. We work with solar installers who want a local electrician for the tie-in, and directly with Orfordville homeowners adding a battery or backup to an existing array.
South-central Wisconsin gets the full range of weather: humid summers, severe thunderstorms and deep winter cold. Around Orfordville that means air conditioning loads in July, sump pumps working hard in spring and furnaces that cannot be allowed to lose power in January. We build electrical systems for all three.
Orfordville is a regular stop for our crews, as are Footville, Brodhead and Evansville close by.

Orfordville solar electrical work FAQ
Will my solar panels work during a power outage?
Not on their own. Grid-tied solar shuts down in an outage for safety. Adding a battery with a backup gateway lets the system keep running your essential loads.
Do I need a panel upgrade for solar in Orfordville?
Sometimes. It depends on the panel's bus rating, the main breaker and the size of the solar system. We check and explain the options.
Battery or generator: which is better?
A battery is silent, automatic and needs no fuel, but its runtime is limited without solar. A standby generator runs as long as it has fuel. Some homes use both.
Do you install the solar panels themselves?
Our focus is the electrical side: interconnection, service work, batteries and backup panels. We work alongside solar installers on the roof-mounted equipment.
