Welcome to the Tennessee Solar Energy Association!

The mission of TSEA is to help create a solar energy economy within Tennessee. 

We propose to:
  • Work with the state legislature and the Governor’s office to promote solar.
  • Catalyze and publicize innovative ideas to promote solar energy acceptance.
  • Publish a magazine highlighting our members' statewide efforts to implement activities in green power.
  • Establish chapters of TSEA at the universities and in communities across the state.
  • Arrange solar demonstrations for public viewing.
  • Help create and promote new opportunities for solar installation.
  • And much more!
But we cannot do this alone. We need your membership and participation. Please join us on our historic journey.  With your support, we can make a difference in supplying the most abundant renewable resource to the residents of our volunteer state.

- Steve Johnson, TSEA President
