Creative Energies

Creative Energies began with a vision shared by environmental educators at the National Outdoor Leadership School in 2001. These outdoor enthusiasts saw an opportunity to make a real impact on sustainability in the mountain communities they loved, and they turned that passion into one of the Intermountain West’s most respected solar installation companies. Today, this Salt Lake City solar installer serves homeowners and businesses across Utah and Idaho with the same commitment to honest, education-focused service that defined those early days. Creative Energies has grown organically over two decades, building a team of adventurous solar craftspeople who genuinely practice what they preach—many staff members have solar panels on their own homes, and the company operates out of net-zero energy offices powered by their own photovoltaic systems. As a Certified B Corporation with a B Impact score of 93.0—nearly double the median—Creative Energies meets rigorous standards for social and environmental performance. They’re also a member of the Amicus Solar Cooperative, collaborating with regional solar providers to share best practices and strengthen the industry. The company holds NABCEP certification, ensuring installations are handled by professionals with specialized training in solar energy systems. For Utah homeowners considering solar installation, Creative Energies offers residential and commercial solar panels, off-grid systems, and battery storage solutions including Tesla Powerwall and Generac backups. They work with premium equipment brands like SolarEdge, REC Group, and Enphase Energy. What sets this team apart is their consultative approach—customer reviews consistently mention that Creative Energies will honestly assess whether solar makes sense for a property, even if that means recommending against installation. They’ve successfully navigated challenging projects in remote parts of southern Utah and worked with utility companies that weren’t initially receptive to solar energy. Solar Power World has recognized Creative Energies as the #1 solar contractor in Wyoming and among the top 10 in both Utah and Idaho. The company maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and near-perfect customer reviews, with a 4.9-star rating on Google Reviews. For every solar array installed, Creative Energies donates to solar energy grants through their partnership with the Honnold Foundation, reinforcing their commitment to expanding clean energy access beyond their immediate client base. With offices in Salt Lake City and Lander, Wyoming, this solar installer has completed projects from St. George to Moab and throughout southeastern Idaho, bringing over two decades of solar expertise to the mountain towns where the team works, lives, and plays.
