solar power installers
Green power, switched on! If you’re interested in starting up a small-scale green-power project in the Tennessee Valley, we want to work with you.
Green Power Providers (GPP) is an innovative and sustainable program offered by TVA and local power companies to encourage the development of solar, wind, biomass and low-impact hydro generation systems across the Tennessee Valley. The program is targeted for residential and commercial customers who wish to install small-scale (50 kilowatts or less) renewable generation systems. GPP participants are paid for every kWh generated by their renewable energy system.

Below are the program highlights for calendar year 2017:
- 10 MW capacity offering will be split equally between residential and non-residential customers.

NABCEP Requirement
For 2017, TVA requires at minimum the Associate-Level certification from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). For installers who currently hold an entry-level certification, you will have until December 2017 to convert your certification to Associate-level. TVA will periodically evaluate NABCEP requirement-related industry standards.
