Wisler Plumbing, Heating, Cooling and Electric proudly serves Roanoke and surrounding area, all of Franklin County, and everyone located around Smith Mountain Lake. When our dad Daniel Wisler put our name on his business back in 1986, he committed to doing what was fair and right. He led by example and he taught us to do the same. He taught us to stand up, work hard through adversity; to take responsibility for our mistakes. It’s not easy, but it’s the difference between a business that survives and a business that thrives. Wisler’s foundation of beliefs lights our way, from policies we live by to the people we hire.

"Marlin did an outstanding job! Was very thorough and professional. Went above and beyond to troubleshoot the issue(s). Also at the same time, was very casual, down to earth and extremely easy to talk to, while still being professional to the highest standard. I would highly recommend, Marlin personally, and Wisler for their superb service and professionalism. I also would recommend to Marlin’s manager/supervisor to reward Marlin for his outstanding service and performance! We will be referring back to him and Wisler in the future for all of our household service needs. Thank you Marlin and Wisler for a great and helpful service!"

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in Salem, VA

The physical construction phase typically requires two to four months following the receipt of all necessary approvals. At the same time, the entire development process from initial concept to operation generally spans three to five years. Factors affecting the timeline include site conditions, workforce size, and project scope. The majority of the development period involves securing regulatory approvals, completing environmental studies, and establishing utility interconnection agreements.

Developing a solar farm requires an average of $400,000 to $500,000 per acre for equipment and installation, excluding property acquisition expenses. Based on industry averages, a six-acre installation typically supports one megawatt of capacity, capable of powering roughly 164 homes. Project economics vary significantly depending on whether land must be purchased or leased, with substantial regional variations in property values.

A solar installation can generate an average of $14,000 to $40,000 annually per megawatt, with variations based on electricity rates and contract terms. Annual maintenance expenses of approximately $15,000 per megawatt must be factored into financial projections. Most facilities operate under long-term agreements spanning 15 to 25 years, providing revenue stability throughout the project lifecycle.

A 20-acre property can support a viable commercial solar installation. Based on industry averages, this area could accommodate approximately three to five megawatts of capacity, sufficient to power 600 to 1,000 residences. This scale falls within the commercial solar farm category, offering enough capacity to achieve reasonable economies of scale while remaining manageable for smaller developers or community-based projects.
