Find the Right Denver Solar Provider for You

Expertise

Solar has technically been around for almost 75 years (the photovoltaic cell being invented in 1954), but it’s gotten cheaper and more accessible as the decades go by. A Denver solar provider should have a reasonable amount of experience over a wide range of areas. Years of experience are important, but not as much as time spent in the residential market. Installing for solar farms is not the same as installing on a variety of rooftops.

Guidance

The market for solar has been on the rise for the last decade. More and more people can get it, but this is still an evolving market. Customers going it on their own have a labyrinth of state laws and municipal requirements to navigate, not to mention the particular physical structures to consider when it comes to mounting and installing solar panels. A Denver solar provider should have the means and insight to take customers from start to finish.

Savings

The whole purpose of solar is savings. And that applies whether it’s green energy savings for the world at large or just the savings that come from homeowners owning their own electricity. A Denver solar provider should have options at all levels of income to help people afford their solar system in a way that offsets their power bill and keeps them saving money while the cost of electricity goes up and up (like it has for the last 20 years).

I’m in Denver, Does That Change Anything?

Lucky for you, Denver’s changes are all good news. As one of the sunniest states, with an average of 300 sunny days per year, Colorado serves as a great place for solar harvesting. 

A lot of people might initially balk at the idea of solar, thinking that snow or hail storms make solar panels an expensive alternative to maintain, but the fact is solar panels are built sturdy and with the right Denver solar provider, your install should have very little problem with the weather. Solar panels’ compact design spread out over a broad surface allows them to soak the force of hailstones, and the heat they put off is enough to melt snow as it falls on them. Thanks to Colorado’s chilly spring and fall, your panels will actually produce better.

With Denver’s renewable energy vision, there are also plenty of tax deductions to benefit from (though only from buying to own your solar system—so be sure to buy and not lease!). The city has implemented a net metering initiative, which allows you to push excess electricity back to the public power grid. This goes toward future power bills, and if you produce for long enough, the power company actually pays you!
