About LightWave Solar

Lightwave Solar has been a trusted provider of turnkey solar solutions in the Tennessee Valley and surrounding regions since 2006 for residential, commercial, and O&M. Our approach is rooted in customer care, offering tailored solar systems designed to meet each client's unique energy goals. We are detail-oriented, brand-agnostic, and committed to delivering high-performance solar installations that exceed expectations.

To date, Lightwave Solar has completed more than 1,400 photovoltaic (PV) systems, totaling over 80 megawatts of installed capacity for businesses, municipalities, and homeowners. Our team includes over 70 full-time employees, among them nine NABCEP-certified Solar PV Professionals—more than any other company in the Southeast. The North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP) is recognized as the gold standard in solar certification. With every project, we bring experience, quality, and passion for clean energy.

Our Team in the Community

What sets us apart is not only our professionalism, but also our deep roots in the communities we serve. We live and work here too, and we take pride in helping our neighbors lower energy costs, improve home and business efficiency, and contribute to a more sustainable future for our region. Our commitment goes beyond rooftops—we regularly engage in local events, educational outreach, and partnerships that promote renewable energy awareness and support the growth of our local economy.
