ES Solar
Detailed Profile
ES Solar has built one of the largest residential solar practices in the Intermountain West since the company's 2009 founding, with deep service coverage across Utah and Idaho and a 4.6-star Google rating spanning approximately 4,000 verified reviews — by a wide margin the largest verified review base of any installer active in Idaho's residential market. That review-base scale is meaningful because it reflects a sustained book of completed projects across more than a decade and a half of operation rather than recent marketing-driven scale.
What stood out is the operational depth that comes with that scale. ES Solar runs a turnkey residential model — design, permitting, equipment specification, installation, interconnection, and warranty service — with an installed equipment line that includes tier-one panels and Tesla Powerwall and Enphase battery storage. The company's NABCEP-certified team, dedicated Idaho service area, and longstanding presence in the Utah-Idaho solar market give homeowners shopping in the Treasure Valley or the Magic Valley access to a regional installer with substantially more accumulated project experience than the typical Idaho-headquartered competitor.
Prospective customers should know that ES Solar is not an Idaho-headquartered company — the Layton, Utah home office means warranty service and follow-up scheduling work across state lines, and that introduces logistical friction relative to a fully in-state installer. The 4,000-review base also necessarily includes a wider spread of customer outcomes than a smaller installer's review pool, and our research team would specifically recommend prospective customers read recent one-star and two-star reviews carefully to understand the company's response patterns on the projects that did not go smoothly. Buyers should ask about Idaho Power interconnection lead times from a Utah-based project management team, the assigned Idaho-licensed crew composition for their specific project, and how warranty truck-rolls are dispatched into Idaho from the Layton headquarters.
The combination of fifteen-plus years of operation, NABCEP credentials, dedicated Idaho service coverage, and the largest verified review base of any installer in this state ranking gives ES Solar a credible third-place position in our 2026 Idaho list.
With a composite score of 68.5 out of 100, ES Solar holds the third-ranked position in Idaho for 2026.
