The HardKnock solar approach.

We do not sell cookie-cutter systems. Every installation is designed around your roof, your energy use, your goals, and your budget.

Solar Assessment & Energy Audit

We analyze your roof orientation, shading, energy consumption history, and utility rate structure to determine the optimal system size and panel placement for your property.

Custom System Design

Using satellite imagery and on-site measurements, we design a system that maximizes energy production while respecting your roof aesthetics and structural requirements.

Permitting & Utility Coordination

We handle all permits, HOA approvals, utility interconnection applications, and net metering setup. You sign the paperwork — we handle the bureaucracy.

Professional Installation

Our certified installers mount your panels, connect the inverter system, and commission your system. Most residential installations are completed in 1–2 days.

Monitoring & Support

Once your system is live, we provide monitoring tools so you can track energy production in real time. Our support team is available for any questions or maintenance needs.

Roof + Solar Bundle

New roof + solar = the smartest combination.

If your roof is due for replacement, combining a new roof with solar installation saves you money on labor, ensures your roof is optimized for panel placement, and means you will not need to remove panels for a re-roof later. HardKnock is one of the few companies in Idaho that can deliver both under one contract.
