Cedar City (serving St. George) · Draft listed profile for the 435 Alliance register.

Profile Draft

Sterling Solar, LLC is a Cedar City–based solar contractor that markets across Southern Utah, with St. George and Cedar City named as primary service areas. The company describes its origins as an electrical services business dating to 1995 that expanded into solar in 2006, though independent business records suggest the current LLC was formally incorporated around 2011; the discrepancy between the founding-of-the-trade and founding-of-the-entity should be clarified directly with ownership.

Service scope as published is design, installation, and ongoing service of solar energy systems, with the company emphasizing that it handles design, installation, and service in-house rather than handing off to subcontractors. The website skews residential and small commercial — HOAs and contractor partnerships are mentioned — and does not heavily promote battery storage or off-grid work, though those are common adjacent offerings in the Cedar City market and worth confirming with the owner. Sterling's pitch leans on long-tenured electrical roots in Iron and Washington counties rather than a national brand or financing partner.

Two items require care before this listing is published. First, BuildZoom indexed the company as not having an active Utah contractor license verifiable through their automated lookup — that may simply be a data lag, but it should be resolved by checking the Utah DOPL License Lookup Verification at secure.utah.gov/llv directly and by confirming Sterling Solar is on St. George City's pre-qualified solar contractor list. Second, no individual owner or founder name surfaces in any public source surveyed, which is unusual for a 30-year-old electrical lineage and should be filled in via direct outreach.

For the 435 Alliance register, Sterling is included as the most credible Cedar City–anchored solar contractor with a documented Southern Utah service footprint, but carries the most outstanding verification items of the four profiles here.

Unresolved Questions

  • Verify active Utah DOPL contractor license (electrical E200 / solar PV S202) directly on secure.utah.gov/llv — BuildZoom flagged "no active license on file."
  • Confirm Sterling Solar's standing on St. George City's pre-qualified solar contractor list.
  • Identify and confirm current owner/principal — no name surfaces in any reviewed public source.
  • Resolve founding-year discrepancy (1995 trade origin vs. ~2011 LLC incorporation).
  • Confirm whether battery storage and off-grid systems are offered, since the site emphasizes grid-tied PV.
  • Confirm in-house crew claim with crew size and whether roofing and structural work are subcontracted.
