NVS GOES SOLAR!

Nashville Veterinary Specialists in partnership with AEG Power Solutions, TVA and NES has officially gone solar! We should be able to reduce our overall energy costs by 25% – 40% and also be capable of producing energy for Nashville’s power grid. This project was made possible in part by a grant from the Tennessee Solar Institute, a comprehensive solar energy and economic development program that was established using American Recovery and Reinvestment Act of 2009 funds. We would also like to thank Carey R. Frazier General Contractors for their help on project installation.

Nashville Veterinary Specialists has gone “solar” with the installation of a 29 kWatt photovoltaic system on our roof. The system will provide an estimated 25-40% of our total energy needs. The solar panels are attached to Nashville’s general electricity grid and any excess power will help support overall energy needs for Nashville. The decision to commit to solar power is part of Nashville Veterinary Specialist’s broader environmental commitment including a comprehensive recycling program, initiatives to decrease waste, natural daylighting and more.
