ES Solar was founded in 2009 by co-founders Chris Loock and Jeff Dimond, beginning as a local solar installer serving Utah’s growing demand for clean energy solutions. Over more than 16 years, the Layton-based solar installer has grown from a startup into one of Utah’s largest residential and commercial solar companies, completing over 15,000 installations across the western United States. The company now serves homeowners in Utah, Nevada, California, Idaho, and Texas, with multiple Utah locations including Layton, Salt Lake City, America Fork, and Hurricane. What sets ES Solar apart is their specialized focus on battery storage integration—over 90% of their installations include battery systems, making them a leader in energy storage solutions. The company is a major participant in Rocky Mountain Power’s Wattsmart Battery Program, with over 2,000 customers enrolled in this innovative utility-controlled residential battery initiative that rewards homeowners while supporting grid stability. This partnership positions ES Solar at the forefront of grid-interactive solar technology rather than traditional grid defection models. ES Solar handles every aspect of home solar installation in-house, from initial design and engineering to installation, commissioning, and ongoing maintenance. Their certified installation teams are licensed professionals who manage projects from start to finish, ensuring quality and consistency. The company offers comprehensive energy solutions including solar panels, battery backup systems, and roofing services, recognizing that a sound roof is essential for a successful solar installation in Utah’s climate. In 2023, ES Solar was acquired by Applied Value Group, a strategic partnership that has enabled the company to expand into new markets while maintaining their local presence and customer-first approach. The existing leadership team, led by CEO Chris Loock and COO Jeff Dimond, remains in place, preserving the company culture and expertise that earned them recognition as Utah’s largest residential and commercial solar and battery installer. ES Solar is BBB accredited and maintains strong customer review ratings, with thousands of verified reviews across multiple platforms reflecting their commitment to 100% customer satisfaction and their position as a trusted solar installer in Utah and beyond.
