Treasure Valley Exteriors has operated out of their showroom and office on West Cherry Lane in Meridian since 2011, building a 15-year track record as one of the Boise metro area's most active exterior contractors. The company offers a full suite of services including roofing, siding, windows, doors, painting, and solar installation, positioning them as a one-stop shop for homeowners undertaking major exterior renovations. Their solar division has powered hundreds of homes and businesses across the Treasure Valley since launching alongside their core exterior services.
The numbers behind Treasure Valley Exteriors tell a compelling story. A 4.8-star Google rating across 641 verified reviews gives them one of the largest review bases of any contractor on our Idaho rankings. That volume of customer feedback, sustained at a high rating over 15 years, indicates both significant project throughput and consistent quality control. The company has accumulated 73 industry awards, a figure that reflects recognition from manufacturers, trade organizations, and local business groups alike.
Their NABCEP-certified solar team approaches installations with the same attention to the building envelope that drives their roofing and siding work. For Idaho homeowners, this integration matters because the Treasure Valley's weather conditions, including summer temperatures that regularly exceed 100 degrees, freezing winters, and occasional windstorms, demand installations that are engineered for durability rather than just peak wattage. Treasure Valley Exteriors understands how solar mounting systems interact with roofing underlayment, flashing, and ventilation, because they install all of those components themselves.
The company offers cash and loan financing and serves Meridian, Boise, Nampa, Eagle, Star, Kuna, and the broader Treasure Valley area. Their Meridian showroom allows prospective customers to see roofing and solar products in person before committing, an unusual advantage in a market where most solar sales happen through in-home consultations or online presentations.
With a composite score of 73.1 out of 100, Treasure Valley Exteriors earns the third-ranked position among solar installers in Idaho for 2026.

Idahome Energy has built a dedicated residential solar practice serving the entire state of Idaho since the company's 2019 founding, operating from a Boise headquarters under an active Idaho contractor license with full licensing, bonding, and insurance. The company is family-owned and family-operated, and its statewide service footprint explicitly includes Treasure Valley, North Idaho, Eastern Idaho, and Southern Idaho — a coverage map that few in-state competitors match. Idahome Energy reports more than 800 completed projects across the state, and our research team verified a 4.8-star Google rating across 274 reviews, the kind of verified customer-feedback volume that signals sustained residential project throughput rather than spike-and-fade marketing.
What stood out is the explicit, published positioning at the intersection of solar and roofing. Idahome markets a residential solar energy systems offering, battery storage for backup and self-consumption, full roofing (new install, repair, and roof restoration designed to extend roof lifespan), EV charging, and a published energy-management category — all delivered through a single contract and single warranty point of contact. That self-perform breadth is uncommon among Idaho-headquartered solar installers and is genuinely useful in Idaho, where roof condition is a frequent gating issue for rooftop PV and where outsourcing the roof work to a separate trade can add weeks to a project timeline.
Prospective Idaho customers should specifically ask about NABCEP team certification (which our research team did not find publicly listed on the materials we examined), Idaho Power or Avista interconnection lead times in 2026 for the homeowner's specific service territory, and how the company's $0-down financing offerings interact with the 30% federal tax credit. Idahome's relatively young six-year operating history means the long-term warranty service track record is still being built, and buyers should confirm bond and insurance specifics in writing.
As a Boise-headquartered, Idaho-licensed residential solar installer with statewide coverage, real roofing integration capability, and a sustained verified review base, Idahome Energy earns a credible second-place position behind Treasure Valley Exteriors in our 2026 Idaho ranking.
With a composite score of 71.0 out of 100, Idahome Energy holds the second-ranked position in Idaho for 2026.

ES Solar has built one of the largest residential solar practices in the Intermountain West since the company's 2009 founding, with deep service coverage across Utah and Idaho and a 4.6-star Google rating spanning approximately 4,000 verified reviews — by a wide margin the largest verified review base of any installer active in Idaho's residential market. That review-base scale is meaningful because it reflects a sustained book of completed projects across more than a decade and a half of operation rather than recent marketing-driven scale.
What stood out is the operational depth that comes with that scale. ES Solar runs a turnkey residential model — design, permitting, equipment specification, installation, interconnection, and warranty service — with an installed equipment line that includes tier-one panels and Tesla Powerwall and Enphase battery storage. The company's NABCEP-certified team, dedicated Idaho service area, and longstanding presence in the Utah-Idaho solar market give homeowners shopping in the Treasure Valley or the Magic Valley access to a regional installer with substantially more accumulated project experience than the typical Idaho-headquartered competitor.
Prospective customers should know that ES Solar is not an Idaho-headquartered company — the Layton, Utah home office means warranty service and follow-up scheduling work across state lines, and that introduces logistical friction relative to a fully in-state installer. The 4,000-review base also necessarily includes a wider spread of customer outcomes than a smaller installer's review pool, and our research team would specifically recommend prospective customers read recent one-star and two-star reviews carefully to understand the company's response patterns on the projects that did not go smoothly. Buyers should ask about Idaho Power interconnection lead times from a Utah-based project management team, the assigned Idaho-licensed crew composition for their specific project, and how warranty truck-rolls are dispatched into Idaho from the Layton headquarters.
The combination of fifteen-plus years of operation, NABCEP credentials, dedicated Idaho service coverage, and the largest verified review base of any installer in this state ranking gives ES Solar a credible third-place position in our 2026 Idaho list.
With a composite score of 68.5 out of 100, ES Solar holds the third-ranked position in Idaho for 2026.

Rooftop solar can protect you from increasing utility rates in Idaho. Here are tips for using solar energy wisely to further minimize these charges.
*Companies displaying 15 or more years in business are typically established electrical, roofing, or general contracting firms that expanded into solar installation in more recent years. The years shown may reflect the age of the parent organization or a strategic partner, not necessarily the solar division itself. This distinction is worth considering when comparing to dedicated solar installers, as purpose-built solar companies may offer more specialized expertise despite a shorter operating history.
