If you live in Utah Valley, you already know LGCY Power — even if you don't realize it. Maybe a friendly rep in a branded polo knocked on your door last summer. Maybe you've driven past the company's glassy headquarters in Lehi's tech corridor. Or maybe you just know someone — a nephew, a ward member, a college roommate — who spent a summer "selling solar" and came home with stories.
LGCY Power (it's pronounced "Legacy Power") is one of Utah Valley's homegrown business success stories: a residential solar company that started with a small Utah team and grew into one of the larger installers in the country. It's worth knowing what the company actually does, how it got here, and how that famous summer sales program works.
A Homegrown Utah Valley Company
LGCY Power was founded in 2014 in Lehi by Doug Robinson and Luke Toone. In the early days it operated as a certified partner of Sunrun — one of the nation's largest solar providers — and grew at a remarkable clip, opening offices in state after state within its first year.
More than a decade later, the company is headquartered at the north end of Utah Valley in the Silicon Slopes corridor and operates in more than two dozen states, with a workforce in the thousands. It says it's now among the top residential solar installers in the U.S., and it has picked up the kind of recognition that follows fast Utah growth — appearances on the Inc. 5000, spots on Utah's fastest-growing-company lists, and "Best Place to Work" honors. In 2021 it signed a multi-year deal to become the exclusive solar provider of the Utah Jazz, a very Utah kind of milestone for a very Utah kind of company.
The name is a small window into the culture. "LGCY" is shorthand for legacy — the idea, repeated often in the company's materials, of building something and leaving a mark. Whatever you make of the branding, the growth story is real, and it's a Utah Valley story from start to finish.
What LGCY Power Does
At its core, LGCY is a residential solar company. It designs, sells, and installs rooftop solar systems — and increasingly, battery storage — for homeowners who want to lower their long-term electricity costs and generate their own power.
The process is built around a dedicated solar consultant who stays with you from the first conversation through installation and beyond. A typical path looks like this:
- Consultation. A consultant reviews your electricity bill and usage and explains what solar could and couldn't do for your specific home.
- Design and site survey. A surveyor inspects your roof and electrical setup, and the company produces a custom system design.
- Financing. LGCY offers several ways to pay — outright cash purchase, a solar loan, a lease, or a power purchase agreement — including zero-down options for many homeowners.
- Permits and installation. The company handles the permitting paperwork, then its install teams put the system on your roof, usually over a few days.
- Support and warranty. Systems are backed by long-term warranties, and the consultant stays available for questions after the panels are live.
LGCY installs equipment from established manufacturers rather than making its own, and it has leaned into battery and smart-energy products as those have become more popular. In 2025 it announced a bigger ambition: expanding past solar into a full slate of home services, including HVAC, roofing, and smart-home technology — a bet that the same sales-and-service model that worked for solar can carry into the rest of the house.
The Summer Sales Program
Here's the part a lot of locals really know LGCY for. Every summer, the company recruits heavily from Utah's college campuses — and especially from the ranks of returned missionaries — to sell solar door to door. It's the same engine that powers Utah's broader summer sales industry, and LGCY is one of its marquee names.
The appeal is easy to understand. A returned missionary has already spent two years knocking on doors, handling rejection, and living away from home, which turns out to be excellent training for a sales summer. Reps typically move to an assigned market for a few months, work long days on commission, and — if they're good and a little lucky — can earn far more in a summer than a typical part-time job would pay in a year. The company builds a real culture around it, with training, competition, and a tight-knit "LGCY Nation" identity that a lot of alumni remember fondly.
It's also, honestly, a hard job. Commission-only pay means a slow summer can produce a small check, the hours are long, and the results depend enormously on the person and the market. Plenty of students have a great experience and make good money; others burn out. If you or someone in your family is weighing a summer with LGCY — or any solar or pest-control company — our honest guide to summer sales in Utah walks through how the pay really works and what to nail down before signing.
Thinking About Solar for Your Own Home?
If you're a homeowner rather than a prospective rep, the bigger question isn't which company knocks on your door — it's whether rooftop solar still makes sense in Utah in the first place. The answer changed recently: the 30% federal tax credit for buying your own system ended at the close of 2025, and Utah's export-credit rules have tightened over the years. Solar can still pencil out, but the math is more sensitive than it used to be to your utility, your usage, and your financing.
That's not a knock on any installer — it's just the reality of the current market. Whoever you buy from, the smart moves are the same: get two or three itemized quotes, read the financing terms closely, and never sign a 20-plus-year agreement on your porch the night a rep shows up. A good offer will still be good after a week of homework. Our 2026 guide to home solar in Utah breaks down the incentives, the net-billing rules, and exactly what to check before you commit.
A Utah Valley Original
Love it or roll your eyes at it, LGCY Power is part of the fabric of Utah Valley business — a company that grew out of the same soil as Vivint, Aptive, and Blue Raven, and that has put a lot of local students to work and a lot of panels on local roofs. It's a homegrown success story worth knowing, whether you're eyeing a summer job, considering solar for your house, or just curious about the name on that polo at your door.
