ServicesSolar Panel Installation
Solar Panel Installation in Millcreek
We start by looking at your home and your power bills, then tell you plainly what solar can and can't do for you. If it makes sense, we design the system, pull the permits and handle the install from start to finish.
Solar that fits your home and your bills
A solar system is only worth it if it's built around how your home uses power. So we don't open with a panel count. We open with a careful look at your property: where the sun hits, what shades it, how your electrical panel is set up, and what you've paid your utility over the last twelve months.
Then we sit down with you and go through what we found. Sometimes that means a smaller system than you expected. Sometimes it means sorting out an electrical issue first. Either way, you hear it straight before you sign anything.
We're licensed in all states served, and every solar product we put in carries a 25-year warranty. Installs with $0 up front are available.
What the install includes
- Site and shade check
- We walk your property and track where the sun lands from morning to late afternoon. Trees, chimneys and nearby buildings all get noted. The winter sun runs low here, so we check shade for both summer and winter.
- Electrical panel review
- We take the cover off your main panel and check how many amps it handles, how old it is and whether there's room for a solar breaker. A panel from decades back sometimes has to be replaced before solar can connect. If that's the case, we point out the reason and let you see it for yourself.
- System design from your usage
- The array is sized from what your bills say you actually use. You get a layout drawing, an estimate of yearly production and a plain-language rundown of how the utility credits power you send back.
- Permits and utility paperwork
- We file the building permit with the city and the interconnection request with the utility. You sign where it's required, and we follow up until both are approved.
- Installation and wiring
- Our crew sets the panels, runs the conduit, mounts the inverter and wires everything in. Wire runs stay clean and close to the structure.
- Sign-off, startup and cleanup
- After the city passes the work and the utility approves the hookup, we turn the system on and show you the production app on your phone. Boxes, offcuts and leftover wire go out with us.
Signs solar may be right for your home
Summer bills keep climbing
Air conditioning drives July and August bills up fast. Solar produces the most during those long, clear days.
Your home gets steady sun
If most of your property sees direct sun from late morning through afternoon, there's a good chance a system will pay off. Our site visit tells you for sure.
You plan to stay put
Solar pays you back a little each month, not all at once. The longer you live in your home, the better those numbers look.
You're adding a big electric load
An EV, a heat pump or a hot tub can change your usage a lot. We plan the system around where your bills are headed, not just where they've been.
You want backup power down the road
A system designed now can be ready for Battery Storage later without rework.
How a solar install goes, step by step
- 1
Phone call and savings analysis
You call, and we go over your bills and your goals. We can do this in person or as a free virtual appointment.
- 2
On-site inspection
We come out, check sun, shade and your electrical panel, and take photos. You see what we see.
- 3
Plain findings and a written quote
We explain what we found and what we'd recommend, line by line. If solar isn't a good fit, we say so.
- 4
Permits, then install day
Once permits and utility approval come through, most installs take one to three days on site. We protect your yard and walkways and clean up every day.
- 5
City check and turn-on
The city inspects the work, the utility sets the meter, and we switch the system on with you there.
What moves the price
Every home is different, so we don't quote a number before we've seen it. The price comes down to a few things we measure during the inspection. You get a written quote that shows each one.
- System size
- More panels cost more. We size it to your usage so you aren't paying for capacity you won't use.
- Electrical panel condition
- Some main panels are too small for solar or have no room left for a new breaker. Swapping one out is often the biggest single change to a quote.
- Equipment choice
- Panel efficiency and inverter type change the cost. We'll show you the trade-offs in plain terms.
- Site layout and wire runs
- Long distances between the array and your panel, or tricky access, add materials and labor.
- Permit and utility fees
- These are set by the city and the utility. We list them on the quote so they never show up as a surprise.
Solar installation questions
Something not covered here? (801) 877-3072
Do solar panels still work in winter?
Yes. Cold actually helps panels run efficiently, though shorter days mean less total output. Snow usually slides off within a day or two of sun. We show you expected production month by month so winter dips aren't a surprise.
Can I really go solar with $0 up front?
Yes, we offer $0 up front installs. We'll walk through the payment options on the phone and in your written quote so you know exactly what you're agreeing to.
How long until the system is running?
The install itself is usually a few days. Permits, the city's inspection and utility approval add time before turn-on. We keep you posted at each step.
What happens to the power I don't use?
Extra power goes back to the grid, and the utility credits you for it at its export rate, which is lower than what you pay for power. That's why we size the system to your use instead of overbuilding it.
What warranty comes with the system?
All of our solar and battery products are covered by a 25-year warranty. We'll go over what that covers before you sign.
Do you serve towns outside Millcreek?
Yes. We install throughout the area, including Holladay, Murray, Cottonwood Heights and Sandy.
