ServicesSolar Panel Installation
Solar Panel Installation in Holladay
We plan each solar system around the power your home really uses and the sun your property gets. You get a clear plan, $0 up front, and photos of what we found on site and what we built, so you always know what happened outside your home.
What a Solar Installation Gets You
Solar makes sense when your electric bills are steady or climbing and your property gets good sun for most of the day. We start with your past year of usage, look at where an array can go on your property, and size the system to cover a realistic share of that usage. We don't push for the biggest system we can fit.
Most people worry about two things: being oversold and not knowing what is happening outside their home. We answer both the same way. Every estimate is written out line by line, and each stage of the job is photographed, from the site survey to the final wiring, so you can see exactly what was installed and where.
If you also want backup power, our Battery Storage page explains how a battery pairs with a new system.
What the Work Includes
- Usage review and system design
- We read your utility bills, map your seasonal usage, and design a layout that matches it. You see the panel count, inverter type, and expected production before you commit to anything.
- Site survey and findings
- We check the mounting area, shading from trees and nearby buildings, and your electrical panel. You get pictures of what we found, including anything that needs attention first.
- Permits and utility paperwork
- We pull the building and electrical permits and handle the interconnection application with your utility. You don't have to chase forms or schedule inspectors.
- Installation and wiring
- Our crew sets the racking and panels, runs conduit, and connects the inverter and disconnects to code. Each connection point is documented before it is closed up.
- Inspection and system turn-on
- Once the inspector has passed the work and your utility gives the go-ahead, we power everything up. Then we show you the monitoring app so you can check production from your phone.
- Cleanup and job record
- We clear wire clippings, packaging, and debris before we leave. You keep the full set of pictures for your records, which also helps if you sell your home later.
Signs Solar Is a Good Fit for Your Home
Your summer bills keep climbing
Air conditioning drives most of the jump. Solar produces the most power during the same long, sunny months when your usage peaks.
You have open, sunny space
An area with little afternoon shade is a strong starting point. We will tell you honestly if trees or buildings cut production too much to be worth it.
You plan to stay a while
Solar pays back over years, so it suits people who expect to stay in their home for the long haul.
You're adding a big electric load
An electric vehicle, heat pump, or hot tub can push usage up fast. Sizing solar around that new load now is simpler than adding panels later.
You want to start without a big payment
With $0 up front, the cost of getting started isn't the thing holding you back.
What Moves the Price
We price every system from your home's usage and your site, not from a standard package. Your written estimate breaks the job into separate lines so you can see where the money goes. Below are the things that shift the total the most.
System size
How many panels you need comes down to your yearly usage and how much of it you want solar to cover. More usage calls for a bigger array.
Equipment choice
Panel efficiency and the choice between a string inverter and microinverters both affect cost. We explain the trade-offs in plain terms.
Site and trenching
A longer distance from the array to your electrical panel means more conduit and labor. Hard ground or tight access adds time.
Electrical panel upgrades
Some older panels can't take a solar connection safely. If yours needs an upgrade, we show you what we saw and list it as its own line.
Add-ons
A battery or other upgrades raise the total. Our Solar System Add-Ons page covers the common options.
How Your Installation Goes
- 1
Free virtual appointment
We go over your bills, your goals, and satellite views of your property by video. You get a first design and a written estimate to review at your own pace.
- 2
On-site survey
We visit to measure, check shading, and inspect your electrical panel. Pictures from this visit come to you with notes on anything that changes the plan.
- 3
Permits and approvals
We file the permits and the utility application for you, then let you know how each one is moving. This paperwork stage takes longer than the install itself, so we keep you updated while you wait.
- 4
Install day
Most residential systems go in over one to two days. The crew works outside, so you can go about your day, and power is only shut off briefly while we tie in.
- 5
Inspection and turn-on
When the inspector and the utility have both signed off, we switch the system on and send you the finished job record.
Solar Installation Questions
How long does the whole process take?
Install day itself is usually one to two days. Permits and utility approval take most of the time, and that varies by city and season. We give you a realistic timeline after the site survey and update you as each approval comes through.
Do my panels still work in winter?
Yes, though production drops with shorter days and snow cover. Panels are angled so snow tends to slide off, and Utah's clear winter days still produce well. Your design estimate accounts for the full year, not just summer.
What does $0 up front mean?
It means you can get your system installed without paying a lump sum to start. We walk through how the payments work during your virtual appointment so there are no surprises later.
Will you tell me if solar isn't worth it for my home?
Yes. If shade, usage, or site conditions mean the numbers don't work, we'll say so and show you why. A system that disappoints you doesn't help either of us.
Why do you document every stage?
Most of the important work, like wiring and connections, gets covered up once the job is done. Our pictures let you see it anyway. They also give inspectors, insurers, or a future buyer a clear record of what was installed.
Do you offer anything for referring a friend?
Yes. For each person you refer who goes solar, you earn $1,000. Ask your friend or neighbor to give us your name when they phone us.
