The next-gen for home solar in Arkansas will be behind the grid. Enphase smart transfer switch can be programed to pull power from the grid if needed but never backfeed power to the grid.

Arkansas Changes Solar Rules

The governor signed the Bill that will phase out net metering and end residential grid tied solar in the State of Arkansas.
The Act keeps the grandfather till 2040 and gives homeowners until the end of 2024 to get solar installed before the rules change.

Home Power Technology
Enphase Home Energy Solution
The first home power system capable of working completely behind the grid. The Enphase system can draw from the grid if necessary but not export power back to the utility. It coordinates solar, batteries, the grid or backup generator, in that order, to completely power the home. The Enphase smart transfer switch automatically isolates the home when the grid fails while solar and batteries seamlessly continue providing power to your home.
We've been waiting a long time for a reliable home power solution that's not dependent or subservient to the utilities.

Solar Site Survey
Determine Your Solar Power Potential
Let's face it, all homes are not created with equal solar access. An accurate assessment of your site is the most important place to start.
With this information we can calculate the percent reduction of your current power bills and the expected return on your investment.
Gives us a call, we generally start with a conversation and Google Earth.

IQ8 Advantage
IQ8 Configurations
IQ8 Configurations
The IQ8 microinverters are the first ever able to generate AC power directly from sunlight. No grid, no battery, just sunshine on the panels will directly supply power to your home. Extra solar power made during the day can be stored in the Enphase batteries or sent back to the grid to lower what's left of your utility bill.
Watch this Enphase IQ8 lab demonstration video of the inverter's capabilities.

The IQ8 can be configured four ways:
1) grid tied solar only,
2) grid tied with essential loads backed up during sunlight hours,
3) grid tied with day and night essential loads backed up, or
4) full energy independence.
Solar Financing

Solar Financing
Leasing and long term financing of solar equipment is now allowed in Arkansas.
BUYER BEWARE! Solar financing has become a shameful scam in States that have allowed it. If it sounds to good to be true... Read what Consumer Reports has to say.
Don't let your solar installer get involved in your personal finance. Talk to your local bank or contact a finance company directly and save thousands of dollars.

"I couldn’t be happier with my solar energy system as installed by LibcoSolar. Chuck did a great job all the way, from initial contact through permitting, installation, and post-installation communication. I’m proud to be producing my own electricity.

Thanks. - Grant in Beebe
Sherwood
Hi Chuck, I just wanted to tell you how pleased we are with our solar system. Our electric bills have been drastically cut and I actually look forward to the first of the month to see the new bill. The system has had no problems and it’s easy to forget it’s there. I am glad that you work with us to design the system to fit our house and power needs. And tell your crew we appreciated the smooth quick installation. The world needs more renewable power generation. - Richard in Sherwood, AR
Hot Springs Village
When we contacted LibcoSolar to inquire about solar panels we were so impressed with Chuck's knowledge, integrity, and reliability from the onset. Monthly Entergy bills, often in triple digits, are now less than 1/3 of that. Our system continues to work wonderfully and is almost maintenance free. We love that we can monitor our system even when we are away from home. We strongly believe that purchasing solar power through LibcoSolar was one of the smartest decisions we have ever made! - Carole and Bill in Hot Springs Village, AR
Jasper
Chuck Stewart took care of every aspect of the installation and it only took one day to install the complete solar system. The electric company arrived, tested it and signed off on it. I could not believe how smoothly the whole installation went. My goal was to reduce my electric bill and I ended up making a new friend. I can truly say I have never had dealings with anyone that has treated me as well as Chuck Stewart. - Ed and Christa in Jasper, AR
Hot Springs Village
Our solar system has performed flawlessly, except for a few weather-related blips with our internet. With LibcoSolar constant monitoring of all the homes they install, Chuck discovered these minor problems and called us before we knew about them. We are extremely happy with our solar system and LibcoSolar and very proud of the part we are playing in the quest for green energy in the state of Arkansas. - Jim & Sandy, Hot Springs Village
