Solar Built for Salt Lake City Homes — Not Just the Sunshine

If you live in Salt Lake City, you know the seasons don’t mess around. Bright summers, heavy snow in winter, high-altitude UV exposure, and plenty of freeze-thaw cycles. Your home’s roof takes a beating — but it also sees a ton of sunshine. That’s where solar makes sense.

Helpful Answers About Residential Solar Installation in Salt Lake City

If you’re exploring solar for your home, you probably have a few questions — especially when it comes to installation, cost, and what to expect in Salt Lake City’s unique climate. Below are some of the most common questions we hear from local homeowners.

How much sunlight does Salt Lake City get for solar panels?

Salt Lake City gets plenty of sunlight for solar panels to be highly effective. With over 220 sunny days per year, the area is ideal for generating clean, consistent solar power that helps reduce utility bills and increase home energy efficiency.

Will solar panels work in the winter in Salt Lake City?

Yes, solar panels work in the winter in Salt Lake City. While snow can temporarily reduce output, panels still generate power in cold weather — and Utah’s high solar irradiance means winter days can still contribute to overall system performance.

What type of roof is best for solar panels?

The best roof type for solar panels is one that has good sun exposure and is structurally sound, regardless of material. Asphalt shingle, metal, and tile roofs are all good candidates — and our team evaluates your existing roof to ensure it's solar-ready or recommend any needed prep work.

How long does a residential solar installation take?

A residential solar installation typically takes one to three days to complete. The timeline can vary depending on roof complexity, system size, and permitting, but we’ll give you a clear schedule upfront and stick to it.

Do I need to replace my roof before installing solar?

You may need to replace your roof before installing solar if it's near the end of its life. Since solar panels are expected to last 25+ years, we recommend having a roof that’s in good shape to avoid removing panels later for roof work. We can assess this during your inspection.

Are there rebates or tax credits for solar in Utah?

Yes, there are both federal and state incentives available for solar in Utah. Most homeowners qualify for the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC), and Utah offers a state tax credit that can further reduce your upfront cost. We’ll help you understand and apply these savings during the planning process.
