Expert Residential Solar Installers in Salt Lake City

Residential Solar Installation Services for Salt Lake City Homeowners

If you’re looking for solar installers in Salt Lake City, you’re in the right place — and likely asking the right questions. The Utah sun can help you reduce energy costs, increase your home’s value, and take more control of your utility usage. But there’s a difference between slapping panels on your roof and building a solar system that’s actually designed for the long haul.

At Definitive Construction, we handle your solar install like we do everything else — with craftsmanship, integrity, and respect for your home. We’re not just a solar contractor. We’re a roofing company, a solar company, and a local business that’s been helping Wasatch Front homeowners since 2008. That means we know how to work with your roof, your city codes, and your energy goals — all without the sales pressure.

Why Choose Definitive for Residential Solar Installation?

One Company. One Warranty. No Runaround.

We’re one of the only companies in Salt Lake that installs both roofing and solar under the same roof (ours). That matters, because your solar system is only as strong as the surface it’s installed on. With us, you don’t have to coordinate between two contractors or worry about voiding roof warranties. It’s all covered — clean, efficient, and fully warrantied.

Real Local Expertise

Our team doesn’t fly in from out of town. We live and work right here along the Wasatch Front. We know what 100°F summers and sudden spring hail can do to a home, and we know how to design solar installations that stand up to it — from roof load calculations to panel placement and permitting.

Roofing Comes First

As a GAF Master Elite and HAAG Certified Roofing Inspector, we don’t just glance at your roof — we inspect it thoroughly before installing solar. If your roof isn’t ready, we’ll tell you (and fix it, if needed). No assumptions, no surprises later.

Clear Options, No Fluff

We’ll walk you through materials, configurations, and smart system sizes for your home and budget. Whether it’s monocrystalline panels or a hybrid solar-plus-roof upgrade, our approach is simple: be honest, stay helpful, and never push what you don’t need.

Common Questions About Solar Installers in Salt Lake City

If you're thinking about going solar in the Salt Lake City area, you're probably juggling a lot of questions — cost, installation, maintenance, and more. Below are answers to some of the most common questions we hear from local homeowners.

How do I know if my roof is ready for solar panels?

You can know if your roof is ready for solar panels by having it professionally inspected. At Definitive Construction, we assess the age, material, slope, and structural condition of your roof to ensure it can support a long-term solar setup. If your roof needs upgrades or repairs first, we’ll let you know — and we can handle both in-house.

What types of solar panels do you install?

The types of solar panels we install include monocrystalline, polycrystalline, thin-film, bifacial panels, and integrated solar shingles. We’ll help you choose the right type based on your home’s design, energy goals, and budget — without pushing what you don’t need.

Will solar panels damage my roof?

Solar panels will not damage your roof when they are installed correctly by certified professionals. Because we handle both roofing and solar under one roof, our team ensures your solar system is mounted safely and securely — without voiding warranties or compromising roof integrity.

How long does it take to install solar panels?

Installing solar panels typically takes 1–3 days once everything is approved and ready. The full process — including permitting, utility approval, and inspections — can take a few weeks, but we handle all coordination to make it as smooth and hands-off for you as possible.

Do you offer financing for solar installation?

Yes, we offer financing for solar installation through trusted partners like Sunlight Financial and Hearth. We’ll walk you through your options so you can choose a monthly payment plan that fits your budget, often with no upfront costs.

What happens if I need a roof replacement in the future?

If you need a roof replacement in the future, we’ll make sure your solar system can be removed and reinstalled efficiently. Since we install both roofing and solar, we plan for roof lifespan and maintenance from the beginning — so there are no headaches down the line.
