Award-Winning Solar Company. Idaho's Best Solar Company.

A Purpose, Powered by People

Judd, the CEO and Founder of Horizon PWR, worked in the renewable energy industry for years, and he knew something needed to change. Homeowners were getting frustrated by the process of going solar. The product and its benefits were apparent, but getting their systems installed proved to be a long and drawn-out process. It would sometimes take up to 12 months to get a solar system up and running, with some homeowners never getting their systems at all. Not only did this affect homeowners, but had a huge effect on the sales reps who relied on the completion of these projects to make a living and feed their families.

Judd felt he could provide a better experience for both homeowners and sales reps. Founded in 2017, Horizon PWR reimagined access to solar power. By working with a network of partners, focusing on areas with permitting processes that are friendlier to solar power, and interacting directly with customers, Horizon PWR was able to offer best-in-class solar systems in just a fraction of the time. After a few years of operation, Judd brought Horizon PWR home, out West to Rexburg, Idaho where he was raised. He wanted to build an organization in the local community that would make a difference in the lives of individuals.

Today, Horizon PWR services dozens of areas all over Idaho, has become a full-service solar installation company, and has even taken the title of Idaho’s Best Solar Company in 2021 and 2022.

As our organization continues to grow, our values have remained a vital element to our success. We rely on our roots to define our purpose: to help as many people own their power as possible.

How do solar panels work?

Understanding solar panel operation is important when determining if solar is right for you. When sunlight hits the solar panels on your roof, they turn the sun's energy into electricity for your home. This electricity, whether from the solar panels or the utility company, powers your home just like usual. The solar panels generate direct current (DC) electricity, which goes to an inverter. The process of solar power conversion begins when an inverter converts DC into the type of electricity your home uses, called alternating current (AC). AC powers your everyday appliances. The electricity flows from the inverter to your home's electrical system, providing power.
