Profile Draft
Solarzing is a Hurricane-headquartered solar installer founded in 2015 by brothers Weston and Derek Johnson and is one of the few Southern Utah solar companies whose ownership and credentials are openly published. CEO Weston Johnson holds a Master's in Electrical Engineering, a Utah General Contractor license, and a NABCEP Professional Solar Installer certification — the highest installer credential in the U.S. residential solar trade. Co-founder Derek Johnson runs the business and finance side. The company operates from 5724 W 670 S in Hurricane and markets service across St. George, Hurricane, Washington, Santa Clara, and Cedar City, with the EnergySage supplier profile additionally noting Arizona and Nevada coverage.
Service scope spans residential and commercial PV, grid-tied and hybrid systems, off-grid, battery storage, EV charger installation, and DIY solar kits. The DIY-kit business is unusual among Utah installers and suggests genuine in-house engineering capacity rather than a sales-and-subcontract model. EnergySage lists Utah license numbers under the entity (GC B100 11847354-5501, S202, S280, S350) covering general contracting, solar PV, and related scopes; OSHA, ISO9001, HVAC, and roofing credentials are also published. The company carries $2M liability insurance and offers a one-year workmanship warranty alongside the standard 25-year module manufacturer warranty.
Customer-facing channels include a 5.0 HomeAdvisor rating and an active Facebook presence; consultations are offered in English, Spanish, French, Chinese, and Tagalog, suggesting a deliberate reach into Southern Utah's tourism-driven labor and second-home market.
For the 435 Alliance register, Solarzing reads as the most credentialed locally headquartered solar contractor in Washington County: HQ in Hurricane, named local owners, NABCEP-certified principal, published Utah license numbers, and a service area genuinely concentrated in the 435 region rather than a Wasatch Front company reaching south for leads.
Unresolved Questions

- Clarify how active the Arizona and Nevada coverage actually is, or whether that is aspirational EnergySage tagging.
- Annual install volume and project history (commercial vs. residential mix) are not published.
