Tennessee Solar Sales Overview
Tennessee requires telemarketer registration with a $2,000 bond before making any solar sales calls. The private right of action under the Consumer Protection Act with potential treble damages adds litigation risk beyond the federal TCPA. Manual dialing after DNC scrubbing is the recommended approach. Solar companies should be aware of TN's Home Solicitation Sales Act requirements for in-home sales following phone leads.
