Why Invest in a Solar Power System for Your Home?
Each time you pay your electric bill, it’s like paying rent to the utility company. So why would you pay rent when you can own your own solar power plant? For every dollar you spend on energy today, you could instead invest in a solar energy system.

Available Solar Power Options for Residential Homes
There are many creative ways to make your home solar installation a reality. Explore our popular solar installation options and see how you can make your sustainability and cost-cutting goals a reality.
Ground-Mounted Solar Panels
Ground-mounted solar considerations are popular for rural residential homes and properties with ground area available. Using steeper tilt-angle and bifacial panels, power production from a ground mounted solar system is typically superior over a roof mount. Long-term maintenance is easier too when the solar equipment is on the ground.
Dual-Axis Solar Trackers
Generate up to 40% more power per kilowatt of solar panel capacity. AllEarth solar panels can rotate and track the sun from morning to evening, capturing significantly more energy per unit of solar panel than fixed (non-tracking) solar arrays.
Metal Roof-Mounted Solar Panels
Besides ground-mounted arrays, Tick Tock Energy performs a high percentage of its roof-mounted installations on metal buildings, or pole barns. Metal buildings are common in rural locations and offer wide open and unobstructed space to make larger arrays easier to install. Our expert solar consultants carefully factor structural and building code issues to provide the right solar panel roof mount solution to homes throughout the Midwest.
Shingle Roof-Mounted Solar Panels
If a ground mounted solar system or metal roof-mounted solar array is not an option and you prefer mounting on conventional shingle roof, we deliver these solar solutions as well. We recommend an all-black panel with black racking hardware in most installation for better aesthetic appeal.
Off-Grid Solar and Demand Management
When the grid goes down, a standard grid-tied solar array will also not operate. However, we can design your solar system to operate during power outages by adding batteries and even a whole home emergency generator. If you have critical loads that must operate during a loss of power, we can help. Batteries for energy storage and demand management is another operating mode that help get the most performance out of your solar system. Our solar consultants can help customize a battery backup solution right for your needs.
Utility Interconnection & Netmetering Considerations
Grid-tied solar arrays commonly send excess electricity back to the utility grid when your home’s power demand is low and the sun is shining. While most utilities have phased out full netmetering, partial netmetering or other power buyback options still apply and vary by utility. Each utility may also have their own preferences for electrical interconnection of solar arrays. Tick Tock Energy deals with a large variety of investor owned utilities such as Ameren along with many rural coop and municipal utilities and their power wholesalers. It can be a complicated maze for many but Tick Tock Energy is proficient in helping you optimize your solar system size and financial investment.
