Solarzing

Brothers Weston and Derek Johnson started Solarzing in Hurricane in 2015. Weston, the CEO, 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. Derek runs the business and finance side. The shop runs out of 5724 W 670 S in Hurricane, in the trades cluster west of the airport and a half-mile from HedgeHog’s Hurricane headquarters.

NABCEP Is the Tell

NABCEP certification is the credential to look for in a residential solar contractor. Most one-truck installers don’t carry it; most national lead-gen brands subcontract to crews that don’t carry it. Weston Johnson does carry it, and the company publishes that openly. EnergySage independently lists Solarzing’s Utah license numbers — General Contractor B100 under 11847354-5501, plus S202, S280, and S350 covering solar PV and related specialty scopes — alongside OSHA, ISO 9001, HVAC, and roofing credentials. Liability insurance is published at $2M. Workmanship warranty is one year on top of the standard 25-year module manufacturer warranty. That is more transparency than nearly any other solar contractor in the 435 offers.

DIY Kits Are an Engineering Tell

The service mix runs 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 signals real in-house engineering capacity. A pure sales-and-subcontract operation cannot package, document, and support a kit a customer assembles independently. Solarzing apparently can.

Service Area

The marketed footprint covers St. George, Hurricane, Washington, Santa Clara, and Cedar City — Washington and Iron counties. EnergySage additionally notes Arizona and Nevada coverage, which is worth treating as aspirational tagging until confirmed. Consultations are offered in English, Spanish, French, Chinese, and Tagalog, which is a deliberate reach into the second-home and tourism-labor markets that have grown alongside the 435’s master-planned communities.

Solarzing in the 435

For the 435 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 corridor rather than a Wasatch Front shop reaching south for leads. The remaining gaps — whether crews are W-2 versus subcontracted, whether NABCEP extends past Weston to additional installers, and what the actual install volume is — close with a direct conversation.
