Residential Solar Program - less than 1 MW left!

 

Take a look at TVA's 2015 Green Power Providers Program dashboard below, and you can see that the program is nearing full capacity for residential projects. TVA allows 4 megawatts (MW) of residential projects in this year's program which pays a 2 cent premium for solar electricity. Currently, less than 1 MW, or 970 kilowatts, is available before TVA begins wait listing residential applications. We encourage homeowners to contact us to get in the 2015 program as soon as possible.

Project Spotlights!

  

Nashville Airport Goes Solar with LightWave Solar

Does this site look familiar? BNA now has solar! Next time you fly, keep your eyes peeled for the solar carport (10kW) and rooftop array (50kW) atop the Short Term Parking Deck.  Installed under the carport are one quick charger and two Level 2 electric vehicle charging stations. LightWave Solar interconnected the PV system "behind-the-meter," meaning BNA will consume 100% of solar electricity and will not sell back to the grid.

 

LightWave Solar 50kW residential system

Last month we completed one of the largest residential rooftop systems in the country. At 50kW (200 solar panels), the system is the largest allowed in TVA's Green Power Providers program. The roof tilt is 53 degrees, and we installed at three different azimuths utilizing SolarEdge power optimizers and inverters which helped make such a unique design more efficient and cost effective. This project reflects the experience and expertise of our sales, design and installation teams.
