The TENNESSEE SOLAR ENERGY ASSOCIATION

| Membership Application | Tennessee Conservor | Sites of Interest |

    The Tennessee Solar Energy Association (TSEA) is a nonprofit organization originally incorporated in the state of Tennessee at Middle Tennessee State University in 1977. After operating very successfully until the mid 1980's it went into a state of dormancy when interest in solar energy waned. Late in 1996 a small group of solar enthusiasts met and decided to reactivate the organization. Due to the period of inactivity it was necessary to reapply for a state charter and IRS rating as a 501 (c3) non profit organization. In early 1997 a new state charter, sales tax exemption, IRS 501 (c3) rating and affiliation with the American Solar Energy Association were established. 

    Membership in the TSEA can provide an avenue for persons who have the desire to actively participate in the progress of solar technologies, It is also an excellent opportunity for persons or organizations who are unable to become so involved but wish to support such efforts and stay in communication with others of like interest. Two other effective avenues of support are tax exempt contributions and support grants. 

Current activities of the organization consist of the following:
   Two annual general membership meetings which feature a speaker or demonstrations involving solar energy equipment. 
    Quarterly newsletters: Tennessee Conservor
