Equipment Agnostic Means:

Unbiased

Having in-house engineering (PE’s) allows us to install any and all makes and models of equipment. We are completely agnostic and are not biased towards or incentivized to offer any one manufacturer or type of system. 

This provides us with the ability to entirely customize each system based on a customer’s needs – and to provide a variety of options. We are true experts and can help you weigh the pros and cons of every panel option, inverter, battery, etc. on the market.

We believe solar systems should be custom designed – including the components selected – based on each home’s needs, a customer’s budget, etc. Popular brands we install include Qcells, REC, Solaria, Silfab, Tesla inverters, Enphase microinverters, etc.

Why we are the #1 solar panel company

Working with 8M Solar was awesome. Extremely professional and squared away. They did not try to add gimmicks or unnecessary complications regarding financing to the solar project. The financing was easy to do and I good a great rate on my loan. They did an accurate assessment of my electricity needs with projections for future electricity requirements when I purchased an electric vehicle. Their projected kilowatt energy production of my solar panels was extremely accurate. My project was 13-panels, Tesla Power Wall and 240V EV charger. The quoted price was accurate from the start of the contract until completion. There were no hidden fees or financial surprises. Installation went great, it was done in a day and with the Duke Energy approvals I was up and running within a week after installation. Lastly, they provided a veterans discount which gave me one panel for free. Simply an excellent group to work with. 8M Solar rocks!
8MSolar was a 5 star pick for our solar installation. 1) Friendly and genuine, 2) they answered all of my questions, no matter how redundant or obvious, 3) they worked with me to design a system that was specific to our needs - not too much, not too little, 4) they walk through each step of the process with clear instructions on what to expect, what to fill out, when they were coming and how to prepare for the permits, inspections and more ,5) they handled all the paperwork work, forms, inspections, permits and etc. If there were any that I needed to submit, they provided the form and instructions on what to do, 6) install was quick and well done - and in 1 day, and 7) they followed up to make sure everything was to our expectation, tested and that we knew how to operating/monitor it. While they do not finance themselves, the credit union they work with was just as easy, reasonable rates and options to adjust 3x and no penalties to pay off early.
Had a really pleasant and smooth experience with 8M solar. Folks have been able to answer all my questions throughout ( from signing to project completion) Entire process was explained at the very start with the timeline. They guided me with any queries post installation. Highly recommended !!! Trust me no one can beat them at prices as well as customer satisfaction
This is the second house that I have worked with 8M Solar for the installation of my roof mounted PV system. From start to finish, 8M has provided excellent service. The price quoted was very fair. From the moment I signed the contract, I was kept informed of the projects progress and when I could expect the installation. 8M handled the permit application, interface with Duke Energy, and of course the installation. The team is very professional. The quality of the installation is a great representation of the 8M Team. I will use 8M again on my next project.
I had an outstanding experience with 8MSolar for my solar panel installation. Their communication was exceptional—clear, timely, and professional from start to finish. They promptly addressed all my questions, ensuring I felt confident and informed throughout the process. The installation itself was seamless, with a highly skilled team that worked efficiently and left no mess behind. 8MSolar made transitioning to solar energy effortless, and I couldn’t be happier with the results. I highly recommend their services to anyone considering solar!

Frequently asked QUESTIONS

Some energy companies in North Carolina charge customers a blended rate that comes from dividing the amount due on your bill by the total kilowatt-hour consumption during the billing period. These blended rates give an accurate ROI estimation in theory, but they fail to account for seasonal demand.

At 8MSolar, we don’t use blended rates when calculating the financial impact of your solar energy system because it artificially inflates your ROI. Instead, we take all measures to produce accurate, verifiable numbers, so you can take our ROI estimate to the bank, literally.

We install three types of panels for businesses

  • Monocrystalline: These panels offer maximum efficiency and durability
  • Polycrystalline: These panels are innovative and very cost-effective
  • Thin-film: These panels are ideal for high-volume rooftop installations

Commercial solar energy systems provide excellent tax benefits that can reduce your commercial solar panel cost. According to the IRS Notice # 2018-59, any commercial solar panel system put into service by Dec 31st, 2023 and meets one of the following requirements is eligible for the full 26% federal tax credit:

  • Installed in 2020, 2021 or 2022 
  • Showing “physical work of a significant nature” 
  • Meets the “5% safe harbor test”
  1. We typically install commercial solar systems on rooftops of buildings that are almost always flat or have limited pitch. Using expert knowledge of the geographic area, we can design the array pitch angle to make sure it is producing optimal energy.
  2. Commercial solar system installations also have different mounting mechanisms than traditional homes. Commercial solar panels have different clamp-on-type bases that we specifically design for flat/metal roofs.
  3. The solar panels we use in most commercial applications are 72 cell panels, which is much larger than the traditional 60 cell modules we use in residential systems and have a higher power output – typically 350 watts per panel.
  4. Rapid shutdown capabilities that bring the DC voltage down to an inherently safe level are required in NC. Our engineers will help you design a system that meets those requirements.

 

  1. Ground-mounted systems are a great alternative for businesses that don’t have roofs suitable for solar panels but have significant amounts of land available. This system also works well if your company’s solar needs cannot be met by their current roof size. 
  2. Using expert geographical knowledge, our engineers can choose the optimal placement of your panels. They will test things like ground compaction to make sure we choose the proper equipment to avoid any geological problems that may arise.
  3. There are two types of ground-mounted solar panels. Pole-mounted panels are elevated off the ground and sometimes use tracking systems to tilt them toward the sun. Standard mounted solar panels have metal framing that we drive into the ground to keep them at a chosen angle.
