Bayou Solar is one of the first thermal and photovoltaic installers in Louisiana, installing solar power systems in the New Orleans metropolitan and Baton Rouge areas since 2007. According to the company’s website, its solar power systems can reduce energy costs, increase the value of a home or business, and reduce pollution and carbon dioxide emissions.
Bayou Solar offers free solar consultations to potential customers. After the consultation, the company presents a customized solar proposal based on the client’s home energy usage and available space, with information including the cost of the system, financing options, and return on investment. If the client decides to move forward with Bayou Solar, the company designs the system. Installation typically takes one to three days. From there, the company provides 24/7 support for the solar power system during the life of its warranty.
