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.

{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.

We are happy we chose SunPower to install our panels. They were professional and so far we feel it has been worth the investment. They blend into the roof as well as solar panels can and even though it's been a cold and snowy January we are producing more than I had anticipated for the winter.

We are so excited about our solar! Every step of the way was organized relayed with clear communication. Today our solar was able to capture almost 100% energy for our house even though it was an overcast day! We are so excited.

After hearing the pitch with several companies we decided Sun Power offered the best value. Financing was easy, install went smoothly, and support for a minor issue with the app was responsive. Most importantly our power bill was zeroed out (aside from the small monthly fee from the power company)

I checked out a few solar companies. Custom Energy was by far the best. The representative that came out (Brooke) was very knowledgeable about the product. He answered every question I had. I was toward about the process that would happen and when it started, I was kept in the looped on everything that followed liked they said. The Crew that set up the panels were very professional and explain each step they were doing just to let me know without asking them to do so. Very happen I choose this company for the install.
