What Delta Solar does

Delta Solar Inc. is a privately held, founder-led Arkansas solar installation and energy services company headquartered in Little Rock. Founded in 2017 by Douglas Hutchings (CEO, PhD in Microelectronic-Photonics) and AJ Hood (Past President of the Arkansas Soybean Association) with partners, the company designs, engineers, and installs rooftop, ground-mount, and carport photovoltaic systems using in-house crews (no subcontractors) across four market segments: commercial, agricultural, poultry, and residential. Its core technical differentiator is Arkansas utility-specific financial modeling built from customer interval data, demand-charge analysis, and time-of-use impact projections across at least 17 utility territories, including Entergy Arkansas, SWEPCO, OG&E, Conway Corp, North Little Rock Electric, and a long tail of municipal and cooperative utilities. Premium-tier panels with anti-reflective coatings and module-level power electronics from Enphase and SolarEdge are standard. The company operates exclusively on the Arkansas side of Texarkana and does not hold Texas contracting licensure.

Core offering

Delta Solar designs, engineers, and installs solar PV systems across Arkansas for commercial, agricultural, poultry, and residential customers using in-house crews. The company also provides related services including battery storage, standby generators (authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer), commercial EV charging (authorized ChargePoint dealer), ongoing system service and maintenance, pre-purchase solar inspections, and solar removal/reinstall coordination for roof replacements.

Product overview

Delta Solar operates a single integrated solar-services platform rather than a packaged software product. The core offering is Arkansas-focused solar installation delivered across four market segments (Commercial, Agricultural, Poultry, and Residential) using in-house crews and utility-specific (Entergy, SWEPCO, OG&E, Conway Corp, CWL, co-ops) financial modeling. Wrapped around that core are four specialized service modules: the Solar Service & Maintenance Division (diagnostics, inverter replacement, monitoring restoration for stranded systems), Home Solar Inspection Reports (pre-purchase PDF inspections for homebuyers), and Solar Roof Replacement Removal & Reinstall (solar removal/storage/recommissioning for roofers). The offering is extended with three add-on product modules: Battery Storage (peak shaving, backup, demand response), Standby Generators (authorized Briggs & Stratton dealer), and Commercial EV Charging (authorized ChargePoint dealer). A web-based Solar Savings Calculator sits alongside the site as a planning tool. All modules can be purchased standalone or stacked on top of a new or existing solar installation, with one Arkansas team responsible for design, install, and long-term O&M.
