EGT History

EGT Solar is a DBA of EvenGreen Technology; our company, founded in 2010 with the mission to provide education and opportunities for Idahoans interested in Solar Energy. Started in a small office in Boise, EGT quickly became the most well-known source for alternative energy products and resources in the Treasure Valley.

With increasing demand in 2012 EGT needed to expand and found its current location, in downtown Meridian Idaho. Our showroom and warehouse location allows us enough space to operate three (3) full time install crews, led by our team of Master, Journeyman and Apprentice electricians, a sales office for continued education and training, a showroom for customer resources, meetings and seminars and offices for our management, accounting, permitting, service and project processing staff.

How We Work

Beginning in 2011 and still to this day EGT has worked tirelessly to keep net-metering compensation beneficial for our clients as well as assisting local jurisdictions and governing bodies in code compliance and keeping Solar providers in our area honest and accountable. EGT owners co-founded the Idaho Clean Energy Association and continue to work hard for southern Idaho to have an affordable, safe, and environmentally-conscious alternative for their energy needs.

Today EGT still maintains the Top residential Solar installer spot for Idaho and does so without knocking doors, cold-calling or other aggressive sales-tactics. Our sales model is to only engage those that first show interest in saving money or saving our planet by adding Solar.

As we continue to grow and learn with new technology and increased demand EGT is proud to offer an honest, ethics-first business practice providing valuable information to our business partners and consumers.

What Our Customers Say About Us

EGT Solar is the very best! Rob, Dan, Steve, Casey and Team delivered as promised from start to finish and now when an inverter failed they quickly installed a new one. No cost to me as the warranty was for both parts and labor. They schedule their appointments with you and show up on time. I have a beautifully installed ground mounted array that is delivering 60+ Kw hours a day for our use and the neighbors. This team worked with me from start to finish handling all the permitting and installation with no subcontractors…everything is in house and everyone works together! I retired with 34 years in the military and know what it takes to find the right mix of personnel to have a high performing team…EGT has done that. EGT Solar has my highest recommendation as they provide both a quality product and most importantly a quality experience!

5 Star Review

From the first contact with Burke at showroom I acquired basic information in our interest in solar for our home. Having researched three other companies and receiving quotes no other company had any displays of products or options on complete solar panel systems. The quotes from other researched solar companies systems were like apples vs oranges and required additional phone calls to clarify information. We chose EGT on their complete estimate, selection top rated panels plus several referrals from other owners in Boise. The communication from start to installation by Burke was outstanding. The installers and electricians were wonderful to answer questions and informing of details during installation process. The inspections by City of Boise and Idaho Power were passed with gratitude of EGT’s attention to details on there solar projects.

Jed Thomas

Jed has been an integral part of the EGT team since 2017 and is a tremendous asset to our project management and installation crews. His knowledge of electrical code and experience with Solar and battery systems allows EGT to take on any challenge from complex residential projects to large-scale utility farms and sizable commercial and agricultural installations. Jed assumed the role of lead foreman in early 2020 and has played a significant role in the immense growth of EGT in the last few years. From project management to planning and preparation Jed takes part in each and every project, giving our installation crews and team of electricians the direction they need to execute work at the highest level of quality and care.

Jed is highly respected by his team and our staff as well as every client he comes in contact with. His willingness to pursue all client requests, however complicated they may be, is just one of the many reasons Jed has received so much praise from our clients and from the local jurisdictions/inspectors. Jed’s unmatched knowledge and on-the-job experience with Solar and complicated electrical work makes it easy to see why EGT has had so much success over the last several years and will continue to drive the Solar market in southern Idaho for decades to come.

Rob Black.

Rob Black

Rob started in the solar industry with EGT in 2015 and quickly became a huge asset to the team, leading the charge for revenue growth and providing education to our community; Rob was tasked with learning all facets of this industry and implementing core procedures into the daily operations of EGT Solar, including but not limited to internal processes from permitting, finance, design, and battery integration as well as sales management and project intake. Rob was promoted to Vice President in 2019 and was responsible for all internal operations while maintaining a robust sales portfolio. Shortly thereafter Rob married his wife, Adrienne in 2020. Adrienne has provided a solid foundation of support and understanding, allowing Rob to make the sacrifices an INC. 5000 company demands of its executive management and key revenue producers.

Rob’s financial background prior to joining the solar industry has been a remarkable benefit to our clients as he continually strives to keep the cost to install solar as inexpensive and fruitful as possible. EGT Solar would not be where we are today without Rob’s tremendous dedication and work ethic and we are pleased to have Rob take on the CEO position and lead this company and this industry in Southern Idaho towards the tremendous growth we are sure to see in years to come.

Bryan M. Lawley

Bryan founded EvenGreen Technology Inc. (DBA EGT Solar) in 2010 when alternative energy products had a very small market in southern Idaho; with a mere fifty-four (54) Solar installations in the state.  Bryan knew the latest changes in technology would allow for growth in demand. As his intuition became a reality and the market started quickly growing in 2013 Bryan made a commitment to his community and his staff that above all else, honesty and transparency in all facets is the mode of operation for this company. This foundational culture quickly lifted EGT to the top-rated solar company in Idaho and it is still in this position today.

Bryan, born and raised in southern Idaho, has a true commitment to the strength and longevity of the Idaho solar market. Bryan is proud to offer a truly local option for Idahoans and prioritizes giving back to local community charities each year. Because of how he chose to operate EGT Solar, Bryan was nominated Idaho CEO of the Year (2016) and again in 2018. He is truly committed to his employees and ensures that EGT is an unbeatable company to work for. EGT has 5-star ratings on all social media platforms and is BBB A+ accredited since 2015. EGT has been named a Top 500 Solar Contractor 2015-2022; one of the only single branch operations to carry this accolade and the only Idaho-based solar company. In the last two years, EGT Solar has been listed among the INC. 5000 fastest-growing companies nationwide and continues to grow to this day thanks to Bryan’s continued commitment to his employees and this community.
