NASHVILLE, Tenn. — Construction is taking place on a solar array atop Mallory Station Storage on Nolensville Road in Nashville, the second largest solar energy project in Nashville. The company is installing solar at each of its four locally-owned storage facilities in Nashville, Brentwood, and Franklin, making this the largest corporate investment in solar energy for both Davidson and Williamson Counties.

Mallory Station Storage’s five solar projects are scheduled to be installed before the end of the year, adding about 2,000 solar panels to Middle Tennessee and a total of 472 kilo-watts of solar energy.

These systems will have a great environmental impact that over the next 25 years will offset emissions of carbon dioxide, sulfur dioxide and nitrous oxide, equivalent to planting 3,540 acres of trees or taking 2,360 cars off the road.

A project of this size is costly, totaling approximately $2 million dollars, but Mallory Station Storage Regional Manager Brett Yocum is confident in the investment. The average payback time on the systems is five years, and over its lifetime, the five- system project will generate over $7M in income, based on the price of conventional electricity that is expected to increase each year.

“Clean energy technology is an investment that we’re glad to be making,” said Yocum. “Solar is a low risk, high-return investment that benefits society both environmentally and economically.”
