This company is no longer in business.

As of January 2023, Sparrow Electric has closed its doors and is no longer in business. We recommend researching the top solar companies in your area for more information on how to go solar.

In 2015, Sparrow Electric was founded to provide residential, commercial, and custom electric services. In 2018, two leaders in the Utah solar industry joined the company and Sparrow Electric shifted its focus from providing comprehensive electrical services to focusing solely on residential solar installation. Since then, the company has sold and installed over 4,000 solar systems (and counting). 

From start to finish, the Sparrow Electric team oversees the entire solar installation process for all residential clients. A group of professionals is assigned to each solar project and is available for questions and communication every step of the way. 

Live in Utah or the greater Dallas Fort Worth area? Read on to learn about what Sparrow Electric offers to prospective solar customers.

The Good

  • Top-Tier Solar Equipment
  • Extensive Warranty Coverage
  • NABCEP Certification
  • No Upfront Cost

Top-Tier Solar Equipment 

With a 25-year manufacturer’s equipment warranty, the solar installer builds solar panel systems that are built to last. The company installs equipment from a variety of manufacturers, including but not limited to panels from Trina Solar and solar micro-inverters from Enphase. Both manufacturers are considered leaders in the industry.

For example, Trina solar panels average as much as 19.9 percent energy efficiency and come with a 10-year warranty, while Enphase’s industry-leading inverters come with a 25-year warranty.

Extensive Warranty Coverage

Sparrow Electric’s equipment and workmanship warranties are considered industry-leading at 25 years. Sparrow Electric’s 10-year production guarantee ensures that your panels will work efficiently; if your system output falls short of projections, the company will install additional panels at no cost to you.  

NABCEP Certification

Sparrow Electric employs engineers and designers that have been certified by the North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners (NABCEP). The NABCEP is a solar industry-recognized organization that promotes best practices and industry standards through its rigorous certification exams.

Companies with this certification distinguish themselves as true experts in solar energy.

No Upfront Cost

Through solar panel financing, there are no upfront costs or out-of-pocket expenses when you go solar with Sparrow Electric. Additionally, Sparrow Electric can help customers obtain solar financing regardless of credit score.

The Bad

  • Financing Specifics
  • No Leasing Option

Financing Specifics 

While customers can rest assured that Sparrow Electric will help them find the best financing option for them post-consultation, specific details such as financing partners, lowest interest rates available, and loan transferability are not currently available on the company's website. Your sales rep can provide this information to you.  

No Leasing Option

It does not appear that Sparrow Electric offers PPAs (Power Purchase Agreements) or leasing options. PPAs and leases provide solar customers of varying budgets and energy needs with access to solar power. While arguably less valuable to a homeowner since the panels do not belong to them, these options are nonetheless helpful to consumers who can't afford to make monthly loan payments.

The Bottom Line

Sparrow Electric stands out from other solar companies with its founding roots in electrical expertise. The company's quality of equipment and scope of warranty coverage should give consumers additional peace of mind. Plus, all professional installers with Sparrow Electric are NABCEP-certified and have undergone the necessary training to effectively install solar systems. 

Considering all factors, prospective solar customers in Salt Lake City, Dallas, and surrounding areas should consider Sparrow Electric as a compelling option as they shop out options for solar and electrical services.
