4.8 Stars on Google
Google says 4.8. Our moms disagree.
The guys at Hale Electric did a great job on our solar install & electrical service upgrade & panel/subpanel upgrades. They cleaned up everything and were conscientious about ensuring our house didn’t suffer much in the process. Even ran a vacuum while cutting out some older drywall to reduce dust dispersal. Overall an excellent experience and would absolutely use them again.
Hale Electric did a fantastic job on installing our solar panels. They went above and beyond. They communicated very well through the entire process and were very timely. I highly recommend their work!
They did a fantastic job with my solar project. Very knowledgeable. Highly recommend!

FAQ
What makes you different from the big solar companies?
We’re Idaho through and through. We’re licensed electricians who live here, work here, and stay here. We’re not fly-by-night sales teams with clipboards and big promises. When we install your system (or repair someone else’s), we’re sticking around to make sure it actually works for the long haul.
What's the average cost of solar in Idaho?
Most homes around here need about a 7 kW system (18 panels) to cover their power bill. The average cost of solar in Idaho runs about $3.26-$3.50 a watt, which puts the total around $22,820.
At Hale Electric, we install for $3.25 a watt. That same system would run you about $18,900. Just dropping a few cents per watt saves you thousands.

My Power Company is Rocky Mountain Power, do they offer any rebates?
Rocky Mountain Power offers a one-time rebate for homeowners who install qualified SolarEdge batteries. You can get $400 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) of battery capacity, up to $6,400 total. To qualify, the battery must be enrolled in their Wattsmart Battery Program, which lets the utility access stored energy during peak times. It’s a solid way to cut upfront battery costs while helping support the grid.
Should I get a battery with my solar system?
Yes, we recommend getting a battery with your solar system. A lot of people think that if you’ve got solar, your power stays on during an outage, but it doesn’t work like that without a battery.
A battery keeps your lights on when the grid goes down. It also helps you rely less on the power company and more on your own system.
We offer a variety of cost-effective battery options, including: Tesla Powerwall, EG4, and SolarEdge.
Is solar even worth it in East Idaho?
Short answer: Yes. Long answer: East Idaho gets plenty of sun for solar to make financial sense, especially with modern tech and solid installs. I use solar myself, and would be happy to share my personal experiences with it.
