Solar energy in Murfreesboro is not just a lifestyle statement. It is a practical way to rein in long term power costs and keep your home comfortable when Middle Tennessee Electric or your local co op has another outage.

The Solar Roofers designs solar panel and home battery systems for the way Murfreesboro homes are actually built. From newer subdivisions around Veterans Parkway and Cason Lane, to established neighborhoods off Northfield and Memorial, to rural edges outside the city limits, we build systems that respect your roof, your Middle Tennessee Electric bill, and your day to day life.

Because we are also The Metal Roofers, we never ignore the roof just to sell panels. If your home near Blackman, Siegel, downtown Murfreesboro, or along Broad Street needs roofing work or a metal upgrade first, we plan roof and solar together so the structure and the energy system age on the same timeline.

If you are ready to see what solar and backup look like when they are designed specifically for Murfreesboro and Rutherford County, not for a generic zip code, The Solar Roofers is ready to help.

About The Solar Roofers in Murfreesboro, TN

The Solar Roofers is a Middle Tennessee based solar and battery company backed by The Metal Roofers, with a strong presence in Murfreesboro and Rutherford County. We are not a traveling sales group parking a van in town for a few weeks. We work here year round and we see these roofs and panels again when storms pass and seasons change.

Our team has worked on homes near Blackman High, along Fortress Boulevard and Cason Lane, in neighborhoods off Thompson Lane, around Northfield Boulevard and Memorial Boulevard, and in communities close to MTSU and downtown Murfreesboro. We understand how these homes are framed, what their roofs look like after fifteen or twenty summers, and how families in this area actually use power during hot afternoons and cold snaps.

We are fully licensed and insured and we maintain strong reviews for communication, cleanliness, and workmanship. From the first roof and attic inspection to the moment you open your monitoring app, our goal is simple. Build a system that looks like it belongs on your Murfreesboro home and behaves predictably on your Middle Tennessee Electric bill and during local outages.

Because we focus on metal roofing and solar together, we stay deep in the details that matter here. Roof attachment methods, heat and humidity, attic ventilation, tree shading, panel layout on complex rooflines, safe conduit paths, and long term service access are not afterthoughts. They are baked into every design.

About Us FAQs

Are you actually local to Murfreesboro or just covering it on a map
We are a Middle Tennessee company that does a large amount of work in Murfreesboro and Rutherford County. This is one of our primary service areas, not a side market.

Can you work with newer and older Murfreesboro neighborhoods
Yes. We work in newer areas near Blackman and Cason Lane, in established neighborhoods off Memorial and Rutherford Boulevard, and in more rural areas outside the city limits. Design always starts with your specific roof and electrical system.

Do you handle roof replacement and solar at the same time if needed
Yes. Through The Metal Roofers and The Solar Roofers, we can replace worn shingles or install standing seam or metal shingles and then design a solar and backup system that fits that new roof.

Why Murfreesboro Homeowners Choose Solar and Home Battery Backup

Murfreesboro has grown quickly. Larger homes, more air conditioning, and busy lives make power more central to how families live. At the same time, storms and growth put pressure on lines and infrastructure. That combination is why more Murfreesboro homeowners are asking serious questions about solar panels and home batteries.

Solar helps carry heavy daytime loads on Middle Tennessee Electric

Summer afternoons in Murfreesboro are not gentle. Air conditioners and heat pumps work hard in homes from Blackman and Siegel to Cason Lane, Barfield, and out toward Lascassas. Solar panels are at their best during the same hours. When a system is sized correctly for your Middle Tennessee Electric usage and roof, a significant share of your daytime energy can come from your own roof instead of exclusively from the grid.

We design every array around your actual 12 month usage, not just square footage. That is how a system becomes a meaningful long term cost control tool rather than a token gesture.

Batteries turn random outages into controlled events

Storms, accidents, and maintenance still cause outages in Murfreesboro, especially where trees and older lines meet rapid development. When the power goes out along Veterans Parkway, Cason Lane, Rutherford Boulevard, or older corridors near downtown, a properly designed home battery system can keep your home organized instead of dark.

A correctly sized battery and backup panel can keep refrigerators and freezers cold, keep lights and outlets in key rooms on, keep Wi Fi and modems powered, and keep a gas furnace blower or a smaller mini split running. That level of backup is often enough to protect food, keep work moving, and keep kids and pets comfortable through multi hour outages, and with solar recharge it can stretch through longer events.

Roof and solar planned together protect structure and investment

Many Murfreesboro homes have roofs that are at or near the 18 to 25 year mark. Mounting a 25 plus year solar system on a roof that will need replacement soon is a recipe for extra cost and frustration.

Because we are The Metal Roofers as well as The Solar Roofers, we inspect and address roof condition before we plan the array. On some homes that means replacing shingles with new architectural roofing and then installing solar. On others, it means upgrading to standing seam metal or metal shingles and clamping or mounting into a roof that is built for decades of service.

Murfreesboro Solar and Backup FAQs

Is Murfreesboro sunny enough for solar to make sense
Yes. The Murfreesboro area has more than enough sunlight over the year for solar to perform, as long as the roof has reasonable access to the sky. Shade from trees and roof shape are usually the limiting factors, not climate.

Do I have to buy a battery to make solar worthwhile
No. Many homeowners start with panels only to reduce Middle Tennessee Electric usage. Batteries are added when backup becomes a priority, for example after repeated outages or when more work is done from home.

Can solar work on my home if I plan to replace the roof soon
Yes, but the best approach is usually to coordinate roof replacement and solar together so you do not pay twice for removal and reinstallation. That is exactly the kind of planning we handle as The Metal Roofers and The Solar Roofers.

Why Murfreesboro Residents Choose The Solar Roofers

Murfreesboro homeowners often look for more than the lowest price. They want a system that fits their house, their utility, and their long term plans. That is the standard we use.

Local knowledge of Murfreesboro roofs and neighborhoods
We work every week on homes in and around Blackman, Siegel, North Murfreesboro, Barfield, along Cason Lane and Veterans Parkway, and near downtown and MTSU. We see what works on these roofs and what does not.

Roof first, then solar designed into it
We do not ignore shingles, decking, or structure just to sell panels. Roof health is evaluated up front and, where needed, roofing work is built into the plan so your solar system has a stable base.

Designs that consider drive by appearance and HOAs
Whether your home sits in a subdivision with guidelines or on a busy corridor, we treat appearance as part of the job. Panel layout, frame color, racking lines, and visible conduit runs are arranged so the finished system looks deliberate, not patched on.

Systems tuned to Middle Tennessee Electric and TVA territory
We design for the way Middle Tennessee Electric structures bills in TVA territory, not for net metering programs in other states. That means systems are sized for self consumption and predictable reduction in purchased kilowatt hours, not for unrealistic export revenue.

Careful work on busy lots and established yards
Driveways, mature trees, and landscaping are part of most Murfreesboro properties. We plan equipment placement, parking, and cleanup so that work is as invisible as possible once the project is complete.

Ongoing support from the same local team
After the system is installed, you are not left with a distant call center. You deal with the same local organization that installed your system, for monitoring questions, adjustments, and service.

Murfreesboro Climate and Neighborhood Considerations

Murfreesboro combines new development, older neighborhoods, and rural edges, all under the same hot summers and storm seasons.

Summer heat and humidity drive high cooling loads, especially in larger two story homes and houses with bonus rooms over garages. Solar output follows that profile and can take a steady bite out of summertime usage when arrays are placed on south, west, and southwest facing slopes.

Storms move quickly across Rutherford County, bringing heavy rain, wind, and occasional hail. That reality shapes our attachment methods and layout choices. Panels and mounts are selected and placed with both uplift resistance and water shedding in mind, not just with ideal sun angles.

Trees are part of the character of many Murfreesboro streets, especially in older areas near downtown and along certain creek corridors. They are also a real constraint for solar production. We use real shade analysis rather than guessing, and we are honest when some or all of a roof is not a good match for panels.

Some communities in and around Murfreesboro have architectural guidelines. In those cases we help you pick panel layouts and color schemes that fit the local expectations, and we provide the documentation review committees want to see, without leaving you to assemble it yourself.

Cost of Solar and Battery Systems in Murfreesboro, TN

Solar and battery systems in Murfreesboro vary in cost depending on roof size, roof condition, electrical system, and how much of your Middle Tennessee Electric usage you want to offset or back up.

Most complete residential projects, solar alone or solar with one battery, fall somewhere in the tens of thousands of dollars, with simpler roofs and smaller systems on the lower end and larger homes or more complex backup needs on the higher end.

Key cost drivers include:

• How many kilowatts of solar are needed for a meaningful offset
• Whether the roof needs repair or replacement as part of the project
• Whether panel upgrades or service changes are necessary to meet code
• Whether you are adding one battery for essentials or more storage for extended backup
• How easy or difficult it is to access the roof and stage materials on your lot

We do not use a one number fits all approach. We measure and inspect your home, design a system for your needs, and then present a proposal that separates solar equipment and labor, battery equipment and labor, roofing work, and electrical upgrades so you can see exactly what you are paying for in Murfreesboro.

Our Murfreesboro Solar and Battery Process

The Solar Roofers follows a clear process for Murfreesboro projects, from first visit to final walkthrough.

1. Home Visit and Evaluation
   We come to your home, inspect the roof and attic where accessible, review the main electrical panel, and collect Middle Tennessee Electric usage history. We discuss your goals in plain terms.
2. Design and Proposal
   We design a system based on your roof, shade, and bills. The proposal shows layout, equipment choices, expected behavior on your bill and during outages, and a clear price broken into scopes.
3. HOA or Neighborhood Support if Needed
   If your neighborhood uses design review, we help prepare layout images, equipment specs, and color information so your submission is complete and professional.
4. Permits and Utility Interconnection
   We handle permits with local authorities and interconnection applications with Middle Tennessee Electric or your co op.
5. Installation and Cleanup
   Our crews install roofing if needed, racking, panels, inverters, batteries, and wiring. We protect your property during the work and clean up when the job is complete.
6. Inspection, Turn On, and Training
   After inspections and approvals, we turn on the system, set up monitoring with you, and explain what to expect on your Middle Tennessee Electric bill and during outages.

The result is a system designed for Murfreesboro roofs, Murfreesboro weather, and Murfreesboro utility reality, built by a team that plans to see it through its full life.
