Solar in New Orleans

New Orleans knows storms. New Orleans also knows what comes next: the sun comes out, the city moves again, and you want your home comfortable while everyone else is waiting on the grid. It is always sunny after a hurricane. Solar is a bill strategy. Storage is a survival strategy—keep your beer cold, keep the A/C running, keep the lights and Wi-Fi on, and stop watching the refrigerator turn into a food-loss machine.

New Orleans “one-to-one” net metering (why it’s a great opportunity)

In Entergy New Orleans net metering, the kilowatt-hours (kWh) you export to the grid offset the kWh you buy from the grid in that billing month—kWh-for-kWh. If you export more than you use, the extra kWh becomes a credit that rolls to the next month. If service is discontinued with remaining credits, Entergy New Orleans states those leftover kWh are paid at avoided cost. :contentReference[oaicite:0]{index=0}

Plain English: why this matters
  • You can “bank” daytime solar kWh and use them later (same month; rollover if you overproduce). :contentReference[oaicite:1]{index=1}
  • This makes solar economics cleaner than “export-at-a-discount” programs.
  • Add batteries and you can also keep power during outages—not just reduce the bill.
Best strategy
  • Right-size PV to offset your annual usage (not just summer A/C).
  • Add storage to protect food, comfort, and communications during blackouts.
  • Design for real loads: refrigeration, lights, outlets, Wi-Fi, and targeted A/C.

Hurricanes + long blackouts: the hidden cost nobody budgets for

During extended outages, refrigerators and freezers become a total loss: food spoils, the appliance smells like a science experiment, and many units get thrown away. A properly designed solar + battery system prevents that spiral. It’s not just “backup power.” It’s preventing a chain reaction of waste and expense.

What batteries protect (day one)
  • Refrigerator / freezer
  • Lighting + key outlets
  • Internet / Wi-Fi / phone charging
  • Garage door and security basics
What batteries can also do (engineered right)
  • Run selected A/C strategy (targeted zones / realistic runtime)
  • Keep home office working
  • Smooth generator use (if a generator is part of the plan)

New Orleans solar permitting (SolarAPP+ + OneStop)

The City of New Orleans routes solar permits through OneStop. The City states that beginning March 1, 2025, new PV system solar permits through OneStop require approved plan reviews through the SolarAPP+ platform. :contentReference[oaicite:3]{index=3}

Why you want an experienced installer

Solar moves fast when the submittal package is correct. We design and document projects so you don’t lose time on avoidable corrections and re-submittals.
