Residential, commercial and utility solar installerBased in Murfreesboro, TennesseeProfile updated October 13, 2026
Is Green Wave Solar a good choice?
Green Wave Solar fits Middle Tennessee homeowners, especially around Murfreesboro and Nashville, who want a local installer that also repairs systems other companies left behind. Its equipment page names the panels, inverters and batteries it offers, and its about page says it is a TVA Quality Contractor Network member. It publishes no workmanship warranty, financing terms or license number, so get those in writing.

Why choose Green Wave Solar, and why you might not
What Green Wave does well, and where to be careful, compared with the installers it competes with most.
Reasons to choose Green Wave
It names its equipmentGreen Wave names Qcells panels and SolarEdge, Sol-Ark and Enphase parts. For batteries it names FranklinWH, HomeGrid, Enphase and Generac. Midsouth Solar Pros names no brands. You can look these up before a sales visit.
It fixes systems others left behindGreen Wave says it also repairs systems that other companies put in and no longer look after. That helps if your first installer has closed.
Owners say its batteries kept the lights onIts head-office Google listing shows 5 from 41 reviews. Three owners say their battery kept the house running through a days-long ice storm outage. One says staff helped by phone to restart it.
Reasons to look at others
It lists no warranty on its own workGreen Wave publishes no warranty on its own work or for leaks where the panels are bolted to the roof. LightWave lists 5 years on its starter packages. Get both in writing before you sign.
It does not say how you can payGreen Wave says it offers flexible financing, but names no lender, plan or terms. It does not say if you can pay upfront. Ask if you would own the panels or rent them.
It prints no license numberGreen Wave’s site shows no Tennessee license number. Ask for it and check it with the state before you sign.
Its reviews do not show how it handles problemsWe found no negative reviews among those we read. That does not tell you how it handles problems. Ask who takes service calls after the install and how fast they come during an outage.
Green Wave Solar reviews: what customers say
Each review site shows its own score; we read them on October 12 and 13, 2026 and do not combine them or add our own rating.
- Google5 / 541 reviews · Murfreesboro, TN office listing only, not company-wideRead reviews
The five positive reviews below praise clear communication, tidy crews and battery systems, and three describe homes kept running on battery power through a multi-day ice storm outage, with phone help to reset a paused system. There were no negative reviews among the reviews we read. Positive reviews alone do not show how a company handles problems. Ask Greenwave who handles service calls after installation and how quickly it responds during outages.

How we picked these: the five newest 5-star and the five newest 1- or 2-star reviews with written text on Google and Trustpilot, as of October 2026 (41 reviews read, back to Jan 26, 2022). We found no Trustpilot page for Green Wave Solar on October 12, 2026. Each quote is one sentence, word for word. Picking the highest and lowest ratings shows the range of experiences; it is not a representative sample, and we did not verify what reviewers describe.
How much does Green Wave Solar cost?
Green Wave does not publish a system price on the pages we reviewed. Ask for an itemized quote with the cash price, system size, equipment models and forecast production. Its homepage lists veteran, large-order and local discounts and a referral program; ask that any discount appear as its own line. For state price ranges, see our solar panel cost guide; for how the plans compare, see loans, leases and PPAs.
Financing
Ask who owns itThe company says it offers “flexible financing options” but names no lender, plan type or terms. Ask whether it is a loan you own or a lease.
Financing as mentioned on Green Wave’s homepage, read October 13, 2026. No lease or PPA is listed.
Green Wave’s equipment page names Qcells panels, Sol-Ark and SolarEdge inverters, Enphase microinverters, IronRidge racking, and FranklinWH, HomeGrid, Enphase and Generac PWRcell storage. It says it is a certified Generac installer. Your written proposal should list the exact panel, inverter and battery models, the system size in kilowatts (kW) and the forecast yearly production in kilowatt-hours (kWh).
