Wasatch Energy Group

Wasatch Energy Group understands that solar energy is not a one-size-fits-all solution. Whether for a multifamily development, a small commercial office space or a vast warehouse, the company offers scalable solar solutions tailored to each project’s unique needs.

Operating across California, Utah and Texas, it recognizes that each state’s regulatory environment for solar power is distinct and constantly evolving. This complexity makes it crucial for both homeowners and businesses to be informed about local regulations when considering solar installations. Wasatch Energy Group excels at this by staying on top of federal, state and utility-based regulations and incentives. It leverages additional benefits introduced by programs like the Inflation Reduction Act (IRA) to ensure clients maximize their solar investments. With a proven ability to secure grants and additional bonus credits, such as those provided by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) and Department of Energy (DOE), the company broadens the scope of financial opportunities available to clients.

Wasatch Energy Group takes a proactive approach to energy planning. While most solar installers design systems based on a standard 12-month energy consumption review, this company looks further, in some cases analyzing 8760 reports (8760 hours in a year) and as far back as two to three years if needed. It’s this long-term perspective that enables Wasatch Energy Group to design systems aligned not just with current energy needs but with clients’ future energy demands and business growth strategies. Considering how a client’s energy consumption might change over time, Wasatch Energy Group creates solar solutions that adapt as the business scales, ensuring that energy systems remain efficient and cost-effective over the long term.

Often, solar systems are not optimized at installation because key factors like fluctuating energy fees, consumption patterns and long-term utility costs are overlooked. Wasatch Energy Group adopts a more comprehensive approach, evaluating whether an integrated solution involving solar panels, batteries and generators would be most effective. This holistic strategy maximizes energy efficiency, reduces costs and enhances clients’ bottom lines. After installation, Wasatch Energy Group conducts in-person reviews every third week to assess each managed system’s output. Comparing expected performance with actual results, any deviation beyond normal weather variations is addressed swiftly by an on-ground team. This proactive approach ensures clients get the full value of their investment.

“We dedicate a portion of each project’s budget to a warranty fund, which allows us to swiftly handle warranty claims and maintenance needs—covering the cost of regular inspections by field technicians. Should an issue arise—such as an inverter failure—the team is ready to deploy quickly, minimizing system downtime and ensuring uninterrupted service,” says Jason Baugh, managing partner.

Wasatch Energy Group stays ahead of the curve by integrating the latest advancements, from higher-efficiency solar panels to state-of-the-art energy storage solutions. It partners with leading energy storage providers and Smart Energy Management companies to deliver advanced, cost-effective systems. By collaborating with utility companies, the company develops innovative incentive programs for battery implementation, accelerating deployment and enhancing grid stabilization efforts.

One project demonstrating Wasatch Energy Group’s work involved a mining company using a CAT generator continuously for the last 54,000 hours (over six years). The prolonged reliance on the generator led to high operational costs, significant carbon emissions and persistent noise pollution, along with frequent maintenance needs. To address these issues, Wasatch Energy Group replaced the generator with a solar ground mount system connected to a large-scale battery, significantly reducing diesel dependence and noise pollution. The battery now serves as the primary power source, with the generator functioning as a backup if needed. This approach not only mitigates environmental impact but proves to be more cost-effective in the long term.

Actively engaging with clients and offering insightful, easy-to-understand dashboard data, Wasatch Energy Group turns a complex topic into a straightforward journey. Clients can see exactly how their system performs and how their energy use impacts their utility costs.

Through consistent communication and hands-on guidance, Wasatch Energy Group stands out as more than just a provider—it has become a trusted partner in navigating the evolving landscape of solar energy and utility management, helping businesses stay efficient, maximize savings and lay the groundwork for long-term success.
