About Us

Located in Clarksville, TN, approximately 40 miles northwest of Nashville, our company, Tennessee Solar is a leading solar company as well as a licensed electrical contractor dedicated to harnessing the power of the sun to fuel our state's green transformation. What sets us apart is our team: unlike many solar companies that primarily focus on roofing, we employ professional electricians who are specifically trained in solar technology, they are certified to install your whole-home batteries alongside your solar systems.

Our expertise in electrical applications sets a high standard within the industry. We ensure that every member of our team is not just highly skilled in practical applications but also backed by the necessary certifications. This meticulous approach to staffing means that the solar crew working on your roof is proficient in roofing, electrical, and solar installations, guaranteeing top-quality service and results.

At Tennessee Solar, our passion is helping Tennesseans save money and embrace a sustainable lifestyle through solar energy. Our renewable energy division manages your solar and battery installation from start to finish. This includes handling all the paperwork, conducting site surveys, preparing engineer-stamped design plans, submitting utility interconnection applications, as well as sending one of our own crews to install your solar system. Our thorough process also covers inspections and coordination with utility companies to ensure your system is fully operational.

Additionally, we provide EV charging installation services for both homes and businesses. While our central location is in Middle Tennessee, our services extend statewide, reaching Knoxville, Pigeon Forge, Chattanooga, Nashville, Memphis, and all surrounding communities.


As a proud government contractor, Tennessee Solar also specializes in servicing government buildings throughout Tennessee and extending our expertise to federal projects across the United States, including military and federal facilities worldwide.
