Modern solar panels generate energy through photovoltaics, a renewable method that uses solar radiation to produce electricity. Each panel is made up of multiple solar cells. These small cells contain two layers of semiconducting silicon -- one negatively charged layer, and one positively charged layer. When sunlight strikes the cells, electrons are knocked loose and drawn into an electrical current. This electrical current is what generates power in a solar panel system.

Before the power generated by a solar system can be used in a home or commercial building, it must be converted into an alternating current (AC). Solar panel systems are connected to an inverter that converts direct current (DC) into AC. This current is then fed into your home, powering your lights and all other electrical appliances. SunPower by Custom Energy is one of the only solar companies in Utah that uses microinverters, enhancing the efficiency and energy production of each solar panel.

How Solar Panels Save You Money

The cost of energy has steadily risen in the past decade and this trend will only continue. If your home or business is reliant on the electrical grid, you are locked into these rising costs. Going solar can mean big savings, with either a substantial reduction in or complete elimination of electricity bills.

There are a few factors that affect the amount of money you can save by installing a solar panel system, but the difference will always be substantial. By installing solar panels on your home or business, you can reduce costs and become energy independent. Solar power is natural, renewable and abundantly available. SunPower by Custom Energy is the Utah solar company that can help you take advantage of this reliable power source.

Before we had solar, our average bill was $200. Now with SunPower...our bill is $12

{company} Patel Family

Once I figured out that SunPower was the way to go, with the warranty and the depreciation value vs other competitors...that's where it all started with me.

{company} Andrew

Since I've gone solar, I've received 2 bills for $4.53 (not even for electricity).

{company} John & Minette

I don't think there is any investment you can do with your house...that actually pays you money. Thanks to SunPower...it's wonderful when the bill shows up!

{company} Paul & Janette

The system itself has exceeded my exceptions in reducing my electric bills. Reputation is paramount, and SunPower had the reputation I was looking for.

{company} Michael

It's a good feeling to be self reliant, and produce 100% of our own power!

Custom energy had repaired my solar panels, replacing all inverts and associated controls on Sun Power warranty. That is why I had Custom energy install my batteries for solar backup. They did a wonderful job, I trust them completely.

They kept me informed through the whole process of installation. We had the roof replaced during the process, and the new roof looks amazing. The panels are working like they should so far(1 month), unless it snows then they work fine once the snow melts.

We really liked the "all in one solar system" not components from different manufacturers. The system was expertly and timely installed. Both SunPower and Custom Electric meet all of our expectations.

Custom Energy provided detailed, accurate and timely information. Our own research indicated that the manufacturer (SunPower) as well as Custom Energy provides quality products, good service and prompt response to any questions or issues. Our system was installed in a timely manner and is operating better than expected. I appreciate the all encompassing service approach - if I have a problem I call the same person regardless of the origin of the issue. I would not hesitate to recommend Custom Energy and SunPower to anyone looking for a quality system and install.

Called for a bid and they were helpful and responsive. The layout appears to be able to satisfy our needs, but we were not able to move forward with the installation until later. Overall was good to get a bid and understanding of next steps.

They replaced the microinverters on our solar panels in a timely manner. Made appointment, showed up on time and did a great job.

I purchased a 20kw system for $64.2k in 2021. I wanted the best panels from a manufacturer with the best reputation. SunPower’s panels and equipment met these requirements. Their Utah affiliate, Custom Energy, visited my home within the week of my inquiry and provided me with a clearly illustrated proposal which said my electric bill would go down from over $400 per month to $30 per month. I was skeptical of course. The installation occurred three months thereafter with little hassle and done with precision in one day. Other electricians visiting my home said the install was the “cleanest” they’ve seen. One year in and my monthly power bill is just $16…yes…$16. It’s amazing and I am very excited to no longer have a huge bill to run our air conditioning which can run very high in Moab, Utah’s desert where 100 degrees is typical. Love solar and love Custom Electric.

The company was professional from start to finish. They had the product on hand, told me when the installation would start and when it would be finished. They provided weekly feed back telling me where the approval process stood and what I needed to do. After installation, they were there to answer questions about the system. When friends ask about my panels, I highly recommend SunPower by Custom Energy to them.

The sales process was professional, easy to understand, and answered all our questions. The salesman was helpful throughout the whole process from placing the order to follow up after start-up. The company was also responsive in getting us documents necessary for filing for our tax rebate. The installation crew was quick and professional and did an excellent job. We only received about 2 days notice before their arrival. A little more notice would have been helpful. The new meter from our power company was installed a few days after installation was complete. When that was done the system was turned on. However, no power was being generated because of a communication problem. After calling Custom Electric they sent someone to rectify the problem within a day. Since then, the system has been operating well without any issues. The system size seems to have been determined well since it is generating enough power for our home usage and provides some excess which goes back into the grid. The app that reports how much energy the system is producing and how much the house is using is confusing and just wrong. This could definitely be improved since it has a lot of potential to give customers insight into their energy usage and production. Overall, I would highly recommend SunPower Equipment and Custom Electric to anyone who intends to add solar power to their house. The experience was positive and the people were helpful and responsive.
