Nashville's rapid growth and TVA service territory made it a target for solar sales companies. Tennessee's consumer protection laws and the federal tax credit provide remedies for homeowners who were misled about their solar contracts.
Thousands of homeowners across Nashville signed solar contracts after being promised dramatic savings — only to find themselves locked into agreements with escalating payments, underperforming systems, and no clear exit. If you are one of them, you have legal options.
Nashville homeowners are protected by the Tennessee Consumer Protection Act (T.C.A. § 47-18-104), which prohibits unfair or deceptive acts or practices in trade or commerce. The Act provides for actual damages, treble damages for willful violations, and attorney's fees.
Nashville's solar market is complicated by TVA's Green Power Providers program, which has capacity limits and different compensation rates than standard net metering. Many homeowners were not told about these limitations during the sales process, resulting in savings that fell far short of projections.
Most people have their solar canceled and still get to keep their equipment.
