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!

SunPower is a first class operation. We are impressed with the quality of workmanship and product. We researched solar power for several months before making a decision for a such a large purchase.

James and his crew were great with the installation of a new battery at my residence. They were polite and performed efficiently throughout the process. When they were finished for the day, they cleaned up the workplace. Everything with this install was top notch and we are very pleased.

The Custom Energy team was right on top of my project from Start to Finish. When I asked a question, I usually got a quick answer within the hour. The sales process was pleasant with no surprises. The process was well managed and expedited with my HOA, the city building department and the utility. The installation was quick and professional. There was no mess to cleanup. I have not had the system very long but both Custom Energy and SunPower have great reputations and with the 25 years warranty I am enjoying a lot of peace of mind.

Custom Electric did a great job installing my Sun Power solar system. I highly recommend them. Wonderful company to work with.

Custom Electric did a great job with my solar install. The entire process was smooth and easy. The system is performing perfectly and I am going to be adding a battery backup with them in the next few months. They even assisted in getting my Utah tax credit form which is essential to get your credit when completing your state taxes. My accountant said very few installers do this. I highly recommend Custom Electric.

They gave me a good price upfront. I had another company that came in much higher but quality of system was similar. I told the higher company about SunPower a bid and so they came back with a price to try to beat SunPower. This other company told me they were going to lose money to match SunPower but were willing to still do it to gain more presence in my area. I decided to stay with SunPower since they had given me a great price upfront. They came when they said they would. Installation went great and I’m a happy customer

When we moved here in 2020 our first call was to set up our utilities. Our second call was to Custom Solar. In our previous home we had a PV Solar system installed. We couldn't afford a SunPower system at that time. Times change, and SunPower is now very affordable. We installed our system in 2 parts. 7.3 kilowatts in 2020 and then another 1 4 kilowatts in 2021 (to cover our charging needs for a new plug in hybrid car). In both instances Custom Solar responded to our request in a timely manner and provided great prices.they showed up and completed the installation without any problems and left everything nice and tidy. I recommend that anyone looking at a PV system to use Custom Solar and go with a SunPower system

After researching several companies, we felt confident in choosing SunPower by Custom Energy. They were responsive and prompt. Great to work with and friendly.

Great product, great service, friendly and available. Panels were installed a few weeks earlier than expected - a very nice surprise. The job took one day. Anytime I called I either was able to speak with someone right away or with that day. All my questions were answered, the staff did a great job of explaining the process and time frames for each stage, i.e. city permitting, power company meter installation, etc. These panels might be some of the best for the money on the market. We are very happy with the system and our choice to go solar. Thanks Custom Energy! So glad you guys are servicing the So. Utah area.
