Summary:
Dickson, Tn. is about 30 miles from my home base of Brentwood (Nashville) Tn. This was the largest PV job installed for a profit company, Dickson Medical Center. We utilized a rural grant of 25% of the total cost and took advantage of TVA'S Generation Solar Partners Program. The 13.44 kW system is expected to produce slightly over 20,000 kilowatts per year.
Having been a solar pioneer by installing over 300 solar water heaters in the early eighties, this was my departure from thermal solar to the more popular solar electricity. Due to the expiration of the tax credit under The Carter Administration , our best month's sales of 85 systems soon dropped to zero and 36 dedicated employees became un-employed. Solar Plexus was born with such a name because solar has been close to my heart for over 30 years, as is my solar plexus.
