About
The Solar Roofers
The Solar Roofers is built on the same Nashville work ethic that shaped our company from day one. More than twenty years ago, we started as a painting and handyman crew, the kind that fixes what’s worn out and makes a home feel whole again. We patched drywall, repaired trim, and repainted ceilings that told the same story over and over. Water stains. Soft spots. Musty corners. We could make the damage disappear for a moment, but we learned fast that a home only stays healthy as long as the roof above it is doing its job. That lesson pulled us into roofing, and it also built our standards. Solve the cause. Build it right. Make it last.
Once we were roofers, we spent our days standing on the most sun-soaked real estate a homeowner owns. Up there, the idea became obvious. Roof space is valuable. It’s out of the way, it doesn’t take up yard, and it quietly takes in sunlight from morning to evening. We started realizing how often that space gets wasted. People invest in a roof to protect the home, then leave that roof to do only one job when it can do two. If you’re going to own a surface that gets hit with Tennessee sun year after year, it makes sense to put it to work.
That’s where The Solar Roofers was born, not as a pivot, but as the next practical step. Around here, folks understand stewardship. You take care of the land because it takes care of you. Solar feels a lot like that to us. We think of it as farming the sun, just like we do in Tennessee soil. You plan it carefully, you set it up with respect for the seasons, and then it produces day after day without fanfare. It’s quiet, steady, and real. Done right, it lowers your reliance on the grid, trims your monthly power costs, and turns your roof into something that pays you back.
Because we come from roofing, we treat solar differently than a crew that only knows electrical. We think in systems. We care about how water moves across a roof, how hardware is mounted, how everything is sealed, how it looks from the street, and how it will hold up after years of heat, storms, and thermal movement. We build solar the way we build roofs: clean lines, correct details, and no shortcuts where they matter. The goal is simple. A roof stays watertight, the array looks intentional, and the system performs the way it should for the long haul.
At the end of the day, our story is still the same one we learned inside those homes we used to paint. The work has to protect the people living underneath it, and it should be built with enough care that you’re not dealing with the same problem again later. Solar is a powerful upgrade, but only when it’s installed with respect for the roof and the home. That’s why we do it. We build roof-first solar for Nashville and Middle Tennessee, with craftsmanship you can see, performance you can measure, and a system that makes your roof earn its keep.

TVA EnergyRight® Preferred Partners NetworkThe Solar Roofers is a participating contractor in the Tennessee Valley Authority’s EnergyRight® Preferred Partners Network, which connects homeowners and businesses with local contractors who meet TVA’s participation requirements and serve the TVA service territory. Being in this network means we’ve met TVA’s qualifications for insurance, licensing, and training, and that we’re committed to delivering work that supports energy efficiency and performance across the region.
TVA does not “endorse” individual companies, but its EnergyRight program sets a baseline for contractors who want to be part of a more efficient, resilient grid. Our participation reflects our commitment to designing solar and battery systems that play well with NES, MTE, and other local power companies, systems that interconnect correctly, respect utility safety and metering requirements, and help reduce strain on the grid instead of creating headaches. When you see the EnergyRight mark, you know we’ve taken the extra steps to align with the region’s energy standards, not just the bare minimum code.
TenneSEIA Solar Association MemberThe Solar Roofers is a member of the Tennessee Solar Energy Industries Association (TenneSEIA), the state-level affiliate of the national Solar Energy Industries Association. TenneSEIA’s mission is to promote the development of solar energy and complementary technologies, including storage, across Tennessee and the broader TVA region, positioning solar as a practical, mainstream resource for homes and businesses.
Our involvement with TenneSEIA keeps us plugged into the real conversations happening around Nashville and Middle Tennessee: changes in TVA and NES policies, evolving interconnection standards, best practices for solar + storage, and how local contractors can help prepare buildings for a more distributed grid. As a TenneSEIA member, we’re not just following national headlines, we’re tracking what’s happening in Tennessee, with the utilities and regulators you actually deal with. That connection helps us design systems that are technically sound, compatible with current rules, and positioned to adapt as the state’s solar and storage landscape continues to grow.

Better Business Bureau A+ Rating and Proven Local ReviewsThe Solar Roofers is built on the same foundation of trust as The Metal Roofers. We are an Accredited Business with the Better Business Bureau and operate under the same principles that earned our roofing arm an A+ rating, the BBB’s highest designation. That accreditation reflects how we handle everything from the first phone call to the final inspection: written scopes, clear timelines, honest conversations when conditions change, and work that meets or exceeds the standards we agreed to.
Our reputation is reinforced by dozens of verified five-star reviews from homeowners and small business owners across Nashville, Franklin, Brentwood, Murfreesboro, Gallatin, and the surrounding communities. Those reviews talk about the same things: crews that show up when they say they will, designs that are explained in plain language, clean job sites, systems that work as promised, and real follow-through when customers have questions months or years down the road. In a solar market where it’s easy for out-of-town sales outfits to disappear after the last panel is bolted down, we’re proud that our customers recommend us to their neighbors, call us back when they add a EV or a second property, and put their name behind us. That kind of trust is earned one project at a time, and we work hard to keep it.

Music City SpecialistsNashville didn’t get the name “Music City” by accident, and we use that identity as a reminder that this is home, not just a market on a sales map. Being Music City Specialists means we build solar and battery systems for the same streets we drive every day: East Nashville and Inglewood, 12 South and Sylvan Park, Green Hills and Belle Meade, Bellevue, Donelson, Hermitage, Madison, and all the places in between. We know the mix of older homes with patchy framing, newer infill with tall, tight rooflines, and commercial buildings with crowded flat roofs, and we design every system with those realities in mind.
It also means we understand how Nashville’s weather and utilities really behave. We size arrays and batteries for long, hot summers and repeat storm seasons, not a fantasy climate, and we engineer every project to work smoothly with NES, Middle Tennessee Electric, and the local co-ops you actually pay each month. When you see “Music City Specialists” on our trucks and proposals, it’s our way of saying we’re built for Nashville, for its climate, its codes, its neighborhoods, and its people, and we intend to be here supporting your system long after the last panel and battery go in.
