Solar Services
Four jobs, and they divide the way the work actually divides: two of them put something new on a roof, and two of them deal with an array that is already up there and has become a problem. Most people arrive knowing which half they are in.
Which of these is yours
Each page says what the job involves here specifically, what the local power company and the permit office want from it, and what we need before anyone can quote it.
-
Solar battery installation
You are exporting power you would rather keep, or you want the house to run through an outage.
-
Solar panel repair
Production has dropped, the inverter is showing a fault, or the bill has crept back to what it was before the array went on.
-
Commercial solar
The roof is flat, the meter is a business account, and the plans will need a design professional on them.
-
Removal and reinstall
The roof needs replacing and the array is in the way, or a roofer has told you it cannot be done.
The local rules that change every job on this list
Tennessee has no net metering, so power you export is bought at a price set by avoided cost rather than credited at what you pay for it. That one difference is why storage appears early in a Middle Tennessee quote and late in a quote written for a net metering state, and it is why the export figure sits at the top of the home page rather than in a footnote.
The other is the permit office. There is no single authority across this metro: Metro Nashville, Williamson County, the City of Franklin and the City of Murfreesboro each run their own, and they have not all adopted the same edition of the residential code. A layout signed off in one place is not automatically a layout that clears in another, which matters most when an existing array is coming back onto a new roof.
What to read before you decide
Four questions this market keeps asking that no competitor page in the Nashville results answers. Every figure in them carries its publisher and the date we checked it.
