Choosing The Best Solar Panel Company in St. George, UT
How to identify the best solar power panel company to fit your needs
Diving into the world of installing solar panels on your home can be intimidating. Up-front costs may look daunting, processes can seem confusing, and when there are various solar power panel companies in your area, it can be difficult to know who to trust and invest in. Taking time to research which company is the best fit for your home is crucial! Every solar power panel company is unique, and offerings can differ between providers.
In order to get started in your research, formulate a list of focus questions that you can look into. First, consider how much expertise each company has. Then, dig into the details of the quality of the solar panels themselves. Other questions might include what is covered by the warranty and whether the company offers financing plans. Finally, once you’ve narrowed down your options to a few providers, get multiple quotes so that you can not only compare pricing but also get a taste of their customer service and responsiveness. With this process, you can find the best solar panel company in St. George, UT to take your home energy to the next level.

Determine Expertise and Reputation
In many cases, narrowing down your options for service providers can be performed through a quick online search. By looking into the solar power companies in your area and scrolling through their “About Us” pages and their reviews, you can begin to understand the quality of their offerings and their overall expertise.
Look into how long a company has been in business, and spend plenty of time sifting through reviews. Instead of only focusing on how many “stars” each company earns, read the reviews themselves in order to form an understanding of exactly what people liked or didn’t like about their service.
Custom Energy offers a combination of local expertise and national recognition for an ideal mix of customization and experience.
Investigate Solar Panel Quality
Not all solar panels are created equal. After installation is over and it’s time to rely on your panels and benefit from the savings, what truly matters is how well your solar panels work. Unfortunately, due to corrosion, cell or interconnect breaks, and other system failures, conventional solar panels see a steep decline in power production over time. In fact, 25 years after installation, conventional panels see an average 19.3% decrease in power production. In a long-term investment like solar panels, it pays to leverage the technology of your solar company choices.
With Custom Energy’s system, efficiency and durability reign supreme. With a perfect pairing of pure silicon and solid copper, panels offer optimal conversion and serious strength. Custom Energy’s Maxeon Quality Cells produce 60% more energy in the 25 years after installation compared to conventional panels, without taking up additional roof space.
Look into Warranty Coverage and Financing Options
Even when you partner with reputable solar power panel company, you will encounter issues with your hardware and overall systems as time goes on. Solar panel installation is meant to be a long-term investment, with long-term payoff. Look into the details of the warranty for each solar power company you’re considering. In many cases, warranties cover the panels themselves - not the system - for 10 years. While 10 years seems like a long time at first, the ideal lifespan of a solar power system is much longer.
The SunPower Complete Confidence Warranty from Custom Energy not only covers the panels themselves, but also covers the entirety of the system. If part of your system becomes defective, your warranty will cover removing the defective part, shipping the new part, and installing the new part. Plus, the Custom Energy warranty doesn’t just cover you for 10 years. Instead, rest easy with an industry-leading 25-year warranty covering your entire system.
Collect Quotes
If you’ve compared all of the above information and are ready to begin the process of hiring a quality solar power panel company, set up appointments with a few of your favorites in order to collect and compare quotes. On top of giving you a realistic expectation for how much you’ll end up paying, this process can help you gauge the customer service and responsiveness of each company so that you can make your final decision.
Research Before Your Quote
Any company that advertises free or nearly free solar installation often lacks transparency in their pricing. While there are tax credits and rebates to incentivize homeowners to switch to clean, sustainable, energy, free or nearly free solar panel installation is likely too good to be true. Financing options exist to help alleviate the initial cost. If financing options boast a 1-2% interest rate, research the additional fees often accompanying this.
A company with transparent pricing will seek to get you the best deal without sacrificing craftsmanship. Read reviews from clients to get a feel for their customer service, and check to see where they source their solar panels and materials. Finally, review their warranty policies thoroughly.
A more expensive cost upfront may be worth it for a comprehensive warranty. Your solar system should last you at least 25 years. That's a long time for panels to work perfectly. It's best to know that if something goes wrong over the next decade or two, you won't be financially responsible for fixing it.
By narrowing down your providers beforehand, you'll know whichever quote you select will come from a company you trust.
Comparing Pricing
Once you have multiple proposals, consider your home's price, potential savings, and energy needs. Review your recent energy bills to understand your consumption needs and select a big enough system to produce the electricity you need.
Add up the modules advertised in your proposal and multiply them by their wattage to give you an estimate of how much energy the system will produce. You can then compare the system's dollar-per-watt cost for the best financial breakdown.
Finally, understand that the advertised lifetime savings are often heavily overestimated for inflation. Many proposals assume a 3-4% inflation rate, but estimating your savings will be closer to a 2% increase each year is best. Your investment in clean energy will save you money on month-to-month utility costs, but estimating your lifetime savings can help determine when you will see an accurate return on investment.
Work with Custom Energy
Your solar power company should have a long history of operation. This is incredibly important when you consider things like maintenance and warranty. A 25-year warranty is terrific on paper, but only if the company is still in business to honor it.

I had a SunPower system (35 panels and 2 batteries) installed by Custom Electrical (Custom Energy). I found them knowledgeable and easy to work with from the project start to finish. The design and install crews did excellent work and took my concerns into account. Their work was completed on time and on budget. I would use them again in the future and I certainly recommend them.— Steve Kaylor

We contacted Custom Energy late in the fall hoping that our system could be installed before year end. They worked quickly with the design and permitting process and installation was completed in December. They did a very professional job and everything works like it is supposed to.— ROBERT FOLEY
