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. TVA's Green Connect Quality Contractor Network is a one-stop shop for selecting an installer. See details below.
• 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.
