Renewable Energy & Solar Services for Denver Area Homes and Businesses

Colorado’s strong solar resource and relatively high number of sunny days mean many properties in the Denver metro can benefit from solar. When a system is designed correctly for your roof, shading, and energy use, it can help reduce electric bills and provide more predictable energy costs over time. A site specific assessment is the best way to determine whether solar is a good fit for your home or business.

In most Colorado jurisdictions, solar installations require permits and inspections. Cu Solutions handles the permitting process, coordinates inspections, and works with your utility so the system is installed safely and brought online correctly. This helps ensure your installation follows applicable electrical codes and local requirements.

Many Colorado properties have strong solar potential because of the state’s long term average of more than 300 sunny days per year. Roof orientation, shading, structural condition, and local rules all affect suitability. A site assessment that looks at these factors and your energy use is the best way to determine whether solar is a good fit.

Solar panels can still produce electricity on cold or partly cloudy days, though output is reduced when sunlight is limited. In some cases, clearer cold days can support good production because solar modules can be more efficient at lower temperatures. Overall annual production estimates for Colorado take seasonal changes into account.

Federal tax credits have played a major role in supporting solar projects. The specific percentage, timing, and eligibility have changed over time and there have been recent policy updates that may affect future installations. It is important to check the latest IRS guidance and speak with a tax professional to understand how current rules apply to your project.

Some customers see very low bills at certain times of year, but it is not realistic to promise that solar will eliminate every bill in every situation. Utility rate structures, fees, usage changes, and weather can all affect your results. Our goal is to design a system that aligns with your goals and to provide realistic expectations based on your property and energy use.

In many cases, battery storage can be added later, provided the original system was designed with expansion in mind. Cu Solutions can review your existing system and outline whether and how storage can be integrated safely and cost effectively.
