About Clayco Solar

Clayco solar was founded in 2011 by business partners and siblings. Clay Mauldin and Jeannie Moody.
The start of Clayco Solar. Clay wanted to put solar on his home. He had estimates with overpriced equipment and overpriced commissions that sales reps were pushy. The DIY groups had limited equipment and unqualified contractors doing their installs. Not only were the prices insane he couldn't find any company that lending options that worked for him.

With a background in Electrical Contracting. Clay decided to do solar on his own home. After seeing the savings and benefits from his solar system. Clay decided to start offering these services to friends and family. Which has led to the business we have today. Offering great services at a good price, we have expanded to two locations. And helped thousands of customers to go solar. What sets us apart is our determination to give you multiple options in all parts of your solar project from designs, equipment, warranty options, multiple lenders and the friendliest staff.
