Chroma Energy Group Completes 1.8 MW Solar Installation in Maryville, Tennessee

Chroma Energy Group completed a 1.8 MW solar installation in Maryville with Silicon Ranch to deliver clean, reliable energy to support Maryville business.

MARYVILLE, TN, UNITED STATES, April 29, 2026 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Chroma Energy Group completed a 1.8-megawatt (MW) solar installation in Maryville, Tennessee in partnership with Tennessee-based Silicon Ranch, owner and operator of one of the nation’s largest fleets of solar facilities and a community-focused energy infrastructure company.
Supporting the local power grid, the new system — located at 3121 Mint Road — interconnects with the Maryville Electric Department and delivers clean energy to local business.

“This project means a lot to us because it’s right here in our backyard,” said Edward Rottmann, Chief Executive Officer of Chroma Energy Group. “We live and work in East Tennessee, and we take pride in building projects that support the communities we call home.”
The 1.8 MW system supplies clean electricity to the local distribution grid, helping meet growing energy demand in Blount County and the surrounding region. By adding renewable capacity to the Maryville Electric Department’s system, the project strengthens grid resilience while reducing reliance on traditional generation sources.

Chroma dedicated 18 team members to the project and interconnected the system in just six months, delivering the project with a focus on quality, safety and efficiency.

The 1.8MW solar array marks Chroma’s first collaboration with Silicon Ranch.

“At Silicon Ranch, we’re intentional about working with local businesses whenever possible because they bring valuable regional knowledge, pride of workmanship, and a long-term stake in the communities where we build,” said Matt Beasley, Chief Commercial Officer of Silicon Ranch. “Chroma Energy Group exemplifies the kind of partner we seek out—local, experienced, and deeply invested in East Tennessee. That same approach guided our work on this project with DENSO and the City of Maryville, where partnering with trusted local contractors helped us deliver high-quality infrastructure while strengthening the local economy.”

For Chroma Energy Group, the Maryville project represents more than megawatts. It reflects the company’s commitment to investing in the communities where its employees live and work. Chroma Energy Group’s project supervisor lived just minutes from the site, reinforcing the company’s local connection and community investment, straight from the heart.

“We take pride in knowing the communities we serve,” Rottmann said. “When we build in East Tennessee, we’re building for our own neighbors.”
As renewable energy development continues across Tennessee, projects like the Maryville installation demonstrate how local partnerships can deliver clean power while strengthening the communities they serve.
