Lightwave Solar Electric

With every expansion, we think about ways to innovate, reduce waste, and be thoughtful members of our community. We are pleased to be making some of our own power. Over its lifetime, the solar system has the potential to generate about $2.5 million. The savings will make a substantial impact that will help reduce rising costs to students' tuition and fees. LightWave went above and beyond in terms of expertise and attention to detail while still making this the first project to come online under TVA's DSS program.

What is the cost of not going solar? If your electric bill is $150/month, and you don't go solar, you will pay the utility over $27,000 in the next 15 years! That's if electric rates do not increase, and we expect them to climb significantly over time. Solar energy is clean and renewable. An average residential solar system (about 7 kilowatts) reduces CO2 emissions equal to growing 4 acres of forest! It also prevents the generation of nearly 1,200 pounds of harmful coal ash every year. Over 25 years, that's more than 14 tons of coal ash avoided!

LightWave Solar has helped hundreds of businesses upgrade their facilities with solar. You can rely on our commercial and industrial solar expertise for turnkey installations, from roof-mounted arrays to ground-mounted arrays, as well as highly-visible solar parking canopies. Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS) is a method of depreciation in which a business's investments in solar property can be recovered through tax deductions. MACRS benefits can be taken all in the first year of system operation and equal up to about 20% of total solar project cost.
