A Sunnier Outlook
Music City Solar does more than simply provide power. It promotes a healthier community. Whether you decide to give solar or go solar yourself, you'll be taking part in a movement that will make a difference for your family, for your neighbors and for generations to come.
About Music City Solar
With the establishment of Nashville's first community solar park, Music City Solar is the area's first large-scale clean energy program that harnesses the power of the sun. Over 17,000 solar panels are available to generate renewable, maintenance-free energy and offer NES customers a more sustainable option to keep their homes and businesses running smoothly. It's a powerful step in promoting the city's growth and keeping us all headed in a positive environmental direction. Continue scrolling to learn how you can participate.
DID YOU KNOW?
Music City Solar is estimated to produce 55 million kilowatt-hours of clean energy over its lifetime.
Go Solar, Give Solar
Music City Solar is intended to power our community while promoting true community, which is why NES customers are given multiple ways to participate.
First, you can go solar. This means purchasing a subscription to individual solar panels and receiving an energy credit on your monthly bill through 2038.
Alternatively, you can give solar to help others participate in the program. You still purchase a panel subscription, but instead of accepting the credit yourself, you can gift it to friends or family members to deduct from their monthly bill. You can also make a tax-deductible solar angel donation, which provides energy assistance to low-income customers. Solar angel donations are collected and distributed locally by The Community Foundation.
