Detailed Profile

Lloyd's Electric Service is a multi-generational East Tennessee contractor that has built a real, credentialed solar division on top of a four-decade electrical practice, and that combination is what put it on our shortlist for the state. Founded in 1982 by Jim Lloyd and now operated by three generations of the Lloyd family from 7233 Oak Ridge Highway in Knoxville, the company carries an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau where it has been an accredited business since 2015. Across publicly available channels including Google, Lloyd's holds a 4.8-star average across roughly 544 reviews, which is one of the larger verified review bases for any solar-capable contractor in East Tennessee.

What our research team weighed carefully here is the line between an electrical company that dabbles in panels and one that actually installs photovoltaic systems as a service line. Lloyd's clears that bar. The company publishes a dedicated solar service page describing residential and commercial PV consulting, design, installation, monitoring, and service, and its Master Electrician is a NABCEP Certified PV Installation Professional, the same credential held by the lead designers at dedicated solar firms. Additional team members are NABCEP-trained in design, installation, and maintenance of solar energy systems, and the company is listed as a NABCEP-certified solar contractor on independent directories including findenergy.com and EcoWatch's Knoxville solar guide.

On the scope side, Lloyd's offers grid-tied residential systems, optional battery backup, EV charger installation, and full electrical-service integration, with financing structured around cash purchase, traditional loans, lease-to-own, and power-purchase agreements. As a Generac Factory-Trained dealer the company also handles standby generators, which is genuinely useful in storm-exposed East Tennessee but should not be mistaken for solar specialization. Prospective customers should ask pointed questions about the company's recent PV install volume, panel and inverter brand selection, and production-warranty terms, because the public-facing website intentionally keeps equipment and warranty specifics general rather than naming brands the way a pure-play solar specialist would.

With a composite score of 72.6 out of 100, Lloyd's Electric Service holds the second-ranked position in Tennessee for 2026.
