Guides to solar in Memphis, TN

Almost everything written about home solar assumes a utility that buys back what a system exports. Memphis does not have one, so most of the advice a person finds when they start reading was built for somewhere else, and the numbers in it were true somewhere else too.

A guide goes on this page when there is something to say that traces back to a publisher who can be checked, with the date it was read printed beside it. That is a slower way to fill a section than writing around a keyword, and it is the reason there is one guide here rather than a shelf of them.

Two things you will not find here. One is an installed price nobody has read off a source we can name, because the middle of a national range tells a Memphis homeowner nothing useful about their own roof. The other is a promise about lowering an MLGW bill, which is the headline nearly every solar company in this city runs with. The utility publishes its own view of what a system pays back here, and a page that skips past that is selling rather than explaining.
