"Trail Mountain ran our data center expansion like a Tier III is supposed to run — clean drawings, paralleled the gear without a single false transfer, and finished seven weeks ahead of schedule. They were the only contractor on site whose punch list we accepted on first walk."

Overview
Solar PV and battery storage from 6kW residential to 5MW utility-scale. NABCEP-certified design, in-house electricians, and full interconnection management with Rocky Mountain Power, Idaho Power, and PacifiCorp.
Solar isn't an add-on for us — it's a discipline staffed by NABCEP-certified designers and licensed electricians who do this every week. We've installed over 38MW of PV and 22MWh of battery storage across the Mountain West, including ground-mount C&I arrays, rooftop logistics warehouses, and residential Tesla Powerwall pairings.
Every project starts with a real engineering analysis: shade modeling in Helioscope, a structural review for rooftop loads, and a financial pro forma that compares depreciation, ITC, and net metering scenarios so owners decide on facts. We handle interconnection paperwork, AHJ permits, and utility witness tests, and we commission every system with IV curve tracing.
Our O&M practice keeps systems producing. Annual inspections, drone-based thermography, inverter firmware updates, and rapid-response storage diagnostics are all in-house — so a system we install today is a system we still know in year fifteen.
Capabilities
What we self-perform under this discipline.
Our crews self-perform every capability listed below. We sub specialty trades only when the scope demands it, and we manage them under our prime contract.
- Residential rooftop solar (6–30kW)
- Commercial rooftop solar (30kW–5MW)
- Ground-mount and carport arrays
- Battery energy storage (BESS) integration
- Tesla Powerwall and Megapack
- Inverter selection and DC optimization (SolarEdge, Enphase, SMA)
- Utility interconnection and net metering
- Solar O&M, monitoring, and IV curve tracing
- EV charging integration with PV/BESS
Frequently asked
Common questions about this service.
- Yes — Utah averages 4.5–5.2 peak sun hours per day, comparable to parts of Florida. Combined with the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit and Utah net metering, residential payback typically lands between 7 and 10 years, and commercial systems often see 5–7 year paybacks with MACRS depreciation.
- A grid-tied solar-only system shuts off during an outage for utility worker safety. Pair it with a battery (Tesla Powerwall, Enphase IQ) and we'll configure islanding so your home keeps running. We design and install both.
- For Rocky Mountain Power residential interconnection, we typically see 4–8 weeks from final inspection to PTO. Commercial interconnection ranges 8–20 weeks depending on system size and study requirements.
What clients say
Owners and general contractors keep coming back.
Roughly 70% of our annual commercial volume is repeat business with the same owners and GCs. Below are recent quotes, all attributed and verifiable.
"We've used Trail Mountain on three hospital pavilions now. They self-perform the work, they understand NFPA 99, and they bring documentation that makes our QA team's job easier — not harder. They're our go-to electrical contractor for healthcare in Utah."
"Our 20,400 sq ft Promontory home had a Lutron HomeWorks panel with 340 channels, hybrid Powerwall and Kohler standby, snowmelt, architectural lighting — Trail Mountain commissioned the whole house in a single pass with zero punch items. That doesn't happen."
"We selected Trail Mountain for the I-15 NEVI corridor because they could actually deliver eleven sites in nine months. Every site passed FHWA reimbursement on the first audit, and uptime has held above 99% since commissioning."
"Our cleanroom expansion happened inside a fully operational biotech facility. Trail Mountain coordinated through QA, met our IQ/OQ timeline with zero rework, and our validation team accepted their documentation on first review — which never happens with electrical."
"I've worked with maybe a dozen solar contractors across Utah. Trail Mountain is the only one I'd hand a 12MW ground-mount and an 8MWh BESS to without sleepless nights. They commissioned three months early. We saved $1.8M in MACRS and ITC."
