Making an Impact with Zero Energy Ready Homes

“I’m the builder for Habitat for Humanity. I’ve built a lot of houses, but nothing like this net zero home. For the homeowner, it is going to be zero energy, so they are going to save money on energy bills, which means more income for things like groceries and healthcare.”

Arcadio Madrigal, Construction Manager Habitat for Humanity of Summit & Wasatch Counties

NOTICE: WE ARE NOT A SOLAR COMPANY

We would like to clarify that Utah Clean Energy is not a solar company. We are a nonprofit organization that advocates for solar and other clean energy technologies, but we do not install or sell solar in any way.
 
Utah Clean Energy Association is not affiliated with our work. This is a sales group that despite our best efforts to get them to stop, continues to use our name in their advertising. We encourage you to report them to Google Ads as misleading. The company that reached out to you is likely a solar company that purchased your contact information as a lead. You may consider reporting that company to the Better Business Bureau for using misleading sales tactics also.
 
We apologize for any confusion this may have caused and appreciate your understanding.
 
Thank you,

The Utah Clean Energy team
