Desert Solar Solutions — Solar Installation in Hurricane, Utah

Desert Solar Solutions is Hurricane, Utah's locally owned solar installation company, providing residential and commercial solar energy systems to Washington County homeowners and business owners who want to reduce their dependence on grid electricity, stabilize long-term energy costs, and leverage the exceptional solar resource that Southern Utah's 300+ days of sunshine provide. Founded by tradespeople with backgrounds in electrical contracting and renewable energy, Desert Solar Solutions brings technical credibility and honest deal-making to a market that has seen its share of high-pressure solar sales tactics and installation quality problems. The company's Hurricane base allows efficient service across Washington County's growing residential communities, where new home construction and expanding neighborhoods create continuous demand for solar installation on homes where builders have increasingly pre-wired for solar readiness.

Residential Solar Systems

Desert Solar Solutions designs and installs residential solar photovoltaic systems sized to offset a meaningful percentage of each home's actual electricity consumption, using production modeling tools calibrated to Southern Utah's specific irradiance data and the customer's historical Rocky Mountain Power bills. System design balances roof space utilization, panel efficiency, inverter selection, and budget to produce the optimal return on investment for each installation. The company works with multiple equipment manufacturers to source the right combination of value and performance for each project, avoiding the limitations of single-brand relationships that force customers into equipment choices that may not be optimal for their specific circumstances. Utah's net metering program allows excess solar production to be credited against future bills, improving system economics particularly for households with significant daytime usage patterns and good south-facing roof orientation.

Commercial Solar Installation

Commercial solar installations in Washington County offer business owners energy cost management that residential solar simply cannot match in scale. Desert Solar Solutions has designed and installed ground-mount and rooftop commercial systems for retail buildings, office parks, agricultural operations, and light industrial facilities across the county. Commercial systems qualify for accelerated depreciation under federal tax law through the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), compressing the tax benefit of the Federal Investment Tax Credit into the earliest years of the investment and significantly improving the internal rate of return for business owners who can use the deductions. Commercial project development services include utility coordination for larger systems that require upgraded interconnection infrastructure, and Desert Solar Solutions manages that process with Rocky Mountain Power on behalf of commercial clients.

EV Charger Installation

Electric vehicle adoption in Southern Utah has accelerated with the expansion of the EV model lineup and the increasing availability of Level 2 and DC fast charging infrastructure. Desert Solar Solutions installs Level 2 home EV charging stations that allow EV owners to charge overnight from their home electrical system — or from solar generation during daylight hours when solar production exceeds home consumption. Charging station installation requires a dedicated 240V circuit, and Desert Solar Solutions' licensed electricians handle all panel work, circuit installation, and charger mounting with the permits and inspections required by St. George and Hurricane building departments. Pairing home EV charging with solar generation creates a genuinely clean transportation solution where EV miles are powered by Utah sunshine rather than grid electricity.

Net Metering and Utility Coordination

Net metering is the policy mechanism that makes residential solar financially viable, allowing homeowners to send excess solar generation to the grid during peak production periods and draw it back during evenings and cloudy periods without paying full retail rates for the energy they import. Desert Solar Solutions manages the net metering application process with Rocky Mountain Power for every residential installation, navigating the utility's interconnection requirements, metering upgrades, and application procedures that can delay system activation if not handled correctly. Staff stay current with Rocky Mountain Power's evolving net metering policies and rate structures, ensuring clients receive accurate information about how policy changes affect the economics of systems being planned or already in operation.
