Part of KUB's long-standing commitment to the environment is providing support for customers who are interested in utilizing renewable energy. 

A critical first step in going solar is educating yourself before you sign a contract. KUB and TVA are here to help you through that process.

Or take a look at the tips below. 

  • Get quotes from multiple companies and carefully read the terms of the proposal.
  • Ask the installer for references and ensure the installer has up-to-date business license and insurance. Look at any available customer reviews. 
  • Confirm the installer has a Solar PV Installation Professional or Board Certification from the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners, which is the gold standard for the industry.
  • Customers interested in renewable energy generation must complete an interconnection application and agreement. KUB charges a $500 application fee for any interconnection. 

Sell Back Your Excess Generation

Facilities that generate power up to 80 Megawatts may qualify for TVA's Dispersed Power Production program, which allows them to sell excess generation back to TVA.
