Roofing & Solar Energy Systems for Homes & Businesses

We started thinking about solar several years ago, finally deciding to get serious this past summer. We initially contacted Powerhome due to online and media advertisements. Let’s just say, they’re not ready for prime-time. We learned about Renew through our utility company, so I gave them a call and asked a few questions. John, the owner, said it would probably be best if they came out and surveyed our property for the best installation solution. He brought an engineer, which really impressed me as he was able to answer several questions on the spot about installation and logistics surrounding the utility run we needed to make. I followed up a few days later with a list of technical questions as I was attempting to make an apples-to-apples comparison with another solar provider. Renew answered promptly and completely. One of the things that impressed me was their recommendation to use bi-facial panels on our barn’s metal roof. These panels provide an up to 25% boost in generating potential by capturing reflected solar energy that passes through the panel and bounces off whatever is behind the panel. A higher reflective background equals greater production potential, so my barn’s metal roof was perfect for these panels. Their pricing was highly competitive and the warranty and after sale support looked excellent. The crew came out and did an excellent job with the install. We’re up and running making our own power.

I had done a lot of research on solar and went with Renew Solar after getting several different quotes. John gave me what I asked for at a reasonable price. The crew did an excellent installation. Thanks for a job well done!

John and his entire crew did a FANTASTIC job on the roof/solar install on my home. The roof was about 15 years old, and had a few more years left in it, but I’d be crazy to not replace it while putting solar panels on top. The roofers were like a well-oiled machine, showing up when they should, working fanatically in the July heat & sun, and cleaning up once they were finished. Our solar installation occurred sooner than anticipated due to the utility program we chose, so I was ecstatic to see it “commissioned” by Middle TN Electric. After ONLY HALF A MONTH with my panels operational, I saved $135 on my August bill vs the same time period the year before. I’m excited about seeing a full month, and the future savings it will produce. I’ve had a few “less-than-favorable” experiences with contractors in the past, and after talking with a couple of other companies, I felt very comfortable with John, Krista, and ALL of their staff, subs, etc. I have already highly recommended them to my neighbors, clients and friends for this type of work, and more (which I don’t tend to do, as I don’t want it to reflect poorly on me if the job goes south).

ReNew Solar Solutions is a truly special company. They helped us design, setup and optimize our solar system at our hotel in Gatlinburg, and we couldn’t be more thrilled! These guys know exactly what they are doing and don’t mind educating those who are less privy to this fascinating new technology. We are so lucky to be able to have found them and would recommend them to anyone who is interested in a renewable energy system. Our commercial system is going to save us up to $20,000 every year and it looks fantastic! We are so proud to say we are going green in the most visited National Park in the USA. This entire company treated us like we were family from the moment they came out and talked to us. It’s always nice to be able to deal with true pros, who put the customers interests and needs ahead of their own. John, Patrick and Colby are all cut from the same cloth, and it has been a pleasure doing business with them!

ReNew Solar Solutions provided one of the most professional installation experience I’ve ever had. They showed up when they said they would and did everything they said they would. I will use this company for all of my solar needs.

ReNew Solar Solutions are extremely knowledgeable about all things solar. They came to my rural and hard to get to house to help me with my solar plans. My first observation was that they did not come out here with a predetermined plan. Several days after viewing my property they presented a plan that met all of my desired goals. We struck a deal and the down payment was made. One of the very nice aspects of RR&S is that they take care of all the compliance requirements that must be accomplished before the solar project begins construction. While in the middle of the compliance maze my utility cooperative became obviously anti-solar in spirit and deed. Tennessee is not known to be a very friendly solar state, but my cooperative increased the pushback to a whole new level. It became very clear that we were trying to construct a solar project in a very unfriendly area. Once we weighed the project on the new scales that my utility coop had required, it became financially unfeasible to continue. This is where the character of RR&S showed up, they completely refunded my money. What more could I ask for, a knowledge, professional, and ethical company on every level. These people are what every business should strive for each and every day. Thanks RR&S.

We hired Renew to do a 8.2 KW solar project that integrated a 21 panel array of frameless Lumos panels into the construction of a screened porch and an additional 6 panel array on our existing roof. We chose Renew because they were excited about this unique project. They were up to the challenge of the various moving parts of it—collaborating with the contractor building the porch, problem-solving issues related to panel placement, hiding wiring and components to preserve a clean panel ceiling looks, and all of the NES and TVA bureaucracy to tie our system to the grid. The whole team is friendly and communicative about nitty-gritty details of the system and Patrick in particular helped steer the project as it evolved from an idea to a reality. The system has been operational for coming in two weeks and the team has remained happy to answer random questions about the system and solar production generally. They guarantee their workmanship and, while I have no doubt about the quality of the work, it gives me additional confidence that any issues that could come up will be resolved quickly and carefully.

We hired ReNew Solar Solutions to install a solar panel system on our home. Jon and Krista were great. Coming to our house several times and answering all of our questions. They handled the entire permitting and approval process. This was especial important with our local utility, who had never had a system like this installed before. The solar panels are working great and we enjoy watching the solar panels on the app.
