Gerald Whipple, President and Founder of Solar Unlimited holds a UT General Contractors License (B100), a Solar Photovoltaic Contractor License (S202/UT & C2g/NV) and a Solar Thermal Systems Contractor License (S215/UT). Gerald is a former Board Member of the Utah Solar Association and stays abreast as to all the new rules, regulations and materials in the industry. In 2007, at the request of several building & utility inspectors, Gerald held a “Solar Net-Metering Workshop” to help them have a better understanding of how solar works and what they are looking at when they do an inspection.

Gerald built his own passive solar home which he lived in for 10 years. In 2003, Gerald’s former construction company built the first off-grid solar and wind powered home to appear on the Parade of Homes in So. Utah. This home won the Special Feature Award for Energy Efficiency from the Home Builders Association.  

When Gerald installed his system there was no one to help him or give him technical support and is why when he founded Solar Unlimited his principle objective was to provide not only excellent and reliable installations but also to provide exceptional service.

Tom Willsey is Vice-President of Solar Unlimited and Service Technician. Tom’s background is in electronics with 5 years experience in aviation electronics, 30 years experience in medical electronics and 5 years experience in solar electronics. At least once a year many of our clients have Tom check their systems to make sure they are operating a peak performance or to start-up or shut-down their systems for the season. In 2007 Tom became a Certified Xantrex Service Technician for Utah.

Tom became involved in Solar Unlimited after Gerald’s former construction company built his new home in 2003 and Solar Unlimited installed the solar power for his new home. Tom’s home was the first solar powered home featured on the Iron County Parade of Homes in 2003.
