Solar Installation Contractors
When it comes to harnessing the power of the sun, Utah is one of the best places to do it. In fact, Utah ranks second in the country for solar production—just behind Colorado.
This surprises many people, who think that states like Arizona and Florida would be prime locations for harnessing solar energy. However, these states’ extreme heat can actually reduce solar efficiency. With its high elevation and cooler temperatures, Utah is perfect for producing consistent, reliable solar power.

How Can Solar Energy Power Your Home?
First, what exactly is solar energy? It’s power from the sun. Solar panels soak up sunlight and turn it into electricity you can use to run basically everything in your home—from the fridge to the lights to your electric car. It’s like having your own personal power plant right on your roof, minus giant smokestacks.
The beauty of solar energy is that it’s clean and renewable. Plus, it saves you money on your electric bill. Instead of relying on traditional power plants that often burn fossil fuels, solar panels generate energy naturally, right from the sun.
Benefits of Going Solar
Going solar has never been more rewarding, and one of the biggest perks is the 30% federal tax rebate—yes, we said 30%. This means you get to deduct 30% of the total cost of your solar installation from your federal taxes. No matter if you’re adding solar panels, a battery, or both, this helps you save big from the start. It’s true that solar is an investment, but your wallet will thank you sooner than you might think.
One of the biggest benefits of going solar with BigHorn Roofing is the option you have to add a battery to your system. A battery lets you store any excess energy your home generates during the day and use it when you need it most—like at night or during a power outage.
Without a battery, your home’s extra energy gets sent back to the utility company. But here’s the catch: the utility company doesn’t give you a fair return. You only get partial credits for the energy you provide. What’s worse—the rates they offer can change at any time. Right now, the return is pretty poor, so you’re not getting nearly the value you should.
With a battery, you don’t have to rely on the utility company’s flawed credit system. You get to keep more of the power your home generates and use it whenever you need it, making you the boss of your own energy. BigHorn Roofing offers solutions to make sure your solar setup and battery work smoothly for your home, helping you save big now and down the road.
Energy Storage
Energy storage is one of the biggest advantages of going solar. With a whole-house battery, like a Tesla Powerwall or other options, you can store the extra energy your solar panels generate during the day and use it when you really need it. Most homes only use about 40% of the energy their solar energy system produces during daylight hours. So, that leaves 60% to be stored in your battery for use at night or during power outages.
At BigHorn Roofing, we make the process easy by setting up batteries with your solar equipment. You get to keep the power your home produces, so you’re not at the mercy of the utility company. This gives you control over how and when you use your energy, whether it’s for powering your home or charging your electric vehicle.
And another huge perk? If the power grid goes down, homes with energy storage still have access to that backup power. With a whole-house battery, you’re prepared for whatever comes. You can power your home when the grid fails, keeping your lights on and your appliances running.
BigHorn Roofing can help you pick the right battery option for your home and lifestyle. We’ll handle the installation and check that everything works flawlessly so that you’ll be energy-independent to the max.
As a leading Utah solar installation contractor, we can show you how energy storage can make your solar system even more efficient in homes from West Valley City to Holladay and everywhere in between.
Customized Solutions
When it comes to solar, we know that every home is different. That’s why at BigHorn Roofing, we don’t believe in a one-size-fits-all solution. Instead, we offer customized solar installations tailored to meet your home’s specific energy needs. We’ll design a setup that works just for you, whether that’s for lowering your electric bill, charging an electric vehicle, or preparing for potential power outages.
Unlike other solar panel installation companies, we take the time to understand what you want to achieve. Our team will visit your home, look at how much energy you’re using, and discuss your goals. From there, we’ll recommend the best products to meet your expectations. For a full solar system with battery backup or something simpler, you’ll get exactly what your home needs when you work with us.
For homeowners throughout the Wasatch Front and Wasatch Back, including in places like Murray and Draper, BigHorn Roofing’s personalized approach as a solar installation contractor can get you the most out of your solar investment. We’re not locked into one product or brand, so we can customize your setup with the best technology for your situation. Want a Tesla Powerwall to store some extra energy? We’ve got you covered. Or do you prefer another solution? We can make it happen.
It’s about much more than just solar panels at BigHorn Roofing. It’s about delivering a complete energy solution. We can help you design a plan that fits your life so that you can enjoy the many benefits of solar without any hassles.
Electric Vehicle Charging
How cool would it be to charge your electric vehicle (EV) with the power of the sun? With solar panels from BigHorn Roofing, you can turn that vision into reality and enjoy big savings on energy. Integrating solar-powered EV charging into your home’s system is yet another way to significantly reduce your electricity bill. Instead of paying for power to charge your car at home, you’ll just use the energy you generate right on your rooftop.
Not only does this setup save you money, but it also makes a positive impact on the environment. Charging your EV with solar energy helps lower your carbon footprint, contributing to a cleaner, greener planet. Sustainable technology like this is a win-win since it combines economic benefits with environmental responsibility.
BigHorn Roofing is here to help you make the most of your solar investment by integrating EV charging into your setup. When you make the switch to solar-powered EV charging with BigHorn, you’ll start driving towards a brighter, more sustainable future. We’ll help you get the most out of every ray of sunshine.
Solar and Roofing Together
At BigHorn Roofing, we know that a solid roof is just as important as a great solar system. That’s why we offer both roof replacements and solar installations together. Why settle for one upgrade when you can have two? This keeps your home protected and your solar panels performing at their best for years to come.
After all, who wants to put solar panels on a 20- or 30-year-old roof that might not last much longer? That would be like putting brand-new tires on a rusty old car. When you upgrade your roof at the same time as your solar installation, you know that both are built to last.
BigHorn Roofing makes the process simple by handling everything in one go. We’ll check that your roof is durable enough to support your solar panels for the long haul. We won’t install solar panels on a roof that’s on its last leg. We’re solar installation contractors you can trust, and we have your back.
With a brand-new roof and an efficient solar energy setup, you can get more value from your investment—and you’ll save yourself a major headache later on. Plus, it’s way easier—and cheaper—to replace a roof before there are panels on it rather than doing it afterward. Think of it as future-proofing your home the smart way.
