Profile Draft
HedgeHog Electric & Solar is a Southern Utah electrical contractor that expanded into rooftop solar, founded in 2008 in Hurricane and now operating regional offices in St. George, Hurricane, Cedar City, and Kanab on the Utah side, with a Mesquite, Nevada office serving the Arizona Strip and a Lindon office for Wasatch Front overflow. The company describes itself as having been started by three electricians, and Utah business filings surface the Barlow family (Carling Barlow and Charles Barlow) among the LLC members. The St. George Chamber of Commerce lists the firm as a member.
Service scope is broad: full residential and commercial electrical work, generator install, EV charger install, panel/breaker upgrades, and — under the Solar division — grid-tied PV, battery storage, and ongoing solar service and repair. Because the company is an electrical contractor first and a solar contractor second, its solar work is delivered through licensed in-house electricians rather than a separate sales-only solar entity, which is unusual and useful in a market dominated by out-of-state lead-gen brands.
Geographic coverage is the most substantial of any locally headquartered solar provider in the 435 region: St. George, Hurricane, Washington, Ivins, Santa Clara, Springdale, Colorado City/Hildale, Kanab, and Cedar City are all named in the published service map, with Mesquite handled out of the Nevada office. The company markets itself as having been "voted Southern Utah's Best Electrician" multiple years; that is a self-claim that should be checked against the awarding publication. Utah DOPL license numbers attributed to the entity in third-party aggregators include 100467 and 0072660 (electrical and solar PV scopes), but the specific active license set should be verified at secure.utah.gov before publication.
For the 435 Alliance register, HedgeHog is a strong anchor: locally founded, multi-office Southern Utah footprint, in-house licensed crews, and a publicly named ownership group rooted in the region.
