Legend Solar

Founded in 2011 and headquartered in Washington, Utah, Legend Solar rapidly became one of the fastest-growing solar providers in the western United States. The company specialized in residential and commercial solar panel installations across Utah, Nevada, Oregon—with expansion plans into Arizona, Wyoming, Montana, Idaho—and was recognized as No. 29 on the 2016 Inc. 5000 list due to its explosive growth rate exceeding 7,000% over three years. As a SunPower Elite dealer—one of only a select few nationwide—Legend Solar installed high-efficiency panels backed by industry-leading warranties.
The company differentiated itself through aggressive financing options that made solar accessible to more homeowners and businesses while providing tailored system designs to maximize customer value. Their "Power Payback Guarantee" promised compensation if systems underperformed relative to estimates. In addition to installation services (EPC), Legend Solar assisted customers with navigating tax credits/incentives.
Despite its early success—including major donations such as $10 million pledged to Dixie State University—the company faced significant financial difficulties starting around late 2017 due largely to market changes affecting rooftop solar incentives in Utah. By early 2018 it had dramatically downsized operations amid mounting debts and unresolved customer installations.
