While the climate in Colorado Springs may not be all sunshine, the varied weather patterns of the seasons can actually benefit solar power units. Precipitation, for example, helps keep the panels clean, and cold weather allows the solar panels to operate more efficiently. Despite mild seasonal variations, Colorado Springs receives steady sunlight throughout the year, averaging about 4.5 peak sun hours per day, based on regional solar modeling by NREL’s PV Watts calculator1. This means that Colorado Springs truly has the solar resources needed to support meaningful energy production. All things considered, solar power has a lot to offer homeowners in Colorado Springs.

Not only can solar power potentially lower the cost of household electricity use, but Ohio residents may also benefit from state incentives and utility programs that offset some of the upfront costs of switching to solar power. These incentives may also provide ongoing benefits, such as:
Property Tax Exemption: Solar unit installations may be exempt from property tax assessments, meaning the percentage increase in property value that solar power provides would not be included in the property tax.
Net Metering: AEP Ohio, the most widely used electricity provider in Colorado Springs, offers a robust net metering program for those utilizing renewable energy sources. Net metering acts like a bank for solar energy credits. As the solar unit generates power during periods of sunshine, any excess power is sent out to the grid. This excess of power is then converted to energy credits. These credits can then be credited against electricity drawn from the grid in non-sunlight conditions, offsetting electricity costs.
Incentives and rebates vary by location and may change. SunPower does not provide tax, legal, or accounting advice. Customers should consult a qualified professional.

Renewable energy sources, such as solar power, may go beyond “lowering the carbon footprint” or providing “clean energy”. They may also help Colorado Springs homeowners prepare for power-outage conditions and provide less reliance on the Colorado Springs power grid. The option to install solar-powered batteries may also keep a home powered during local outages. These are just a few of the many potential benefits of using solar power, which also include:
Lower Energy Bills: Solar may help reduce monthly electricity costs and protect against rising utility expense rates.
Energy Security: Homeowners may reduce reliance on the grid by generating their own power.
Environmental Benefits: Solar panels do not produce greenhouse gases during operation. This can help the air in Colorado Springs remain fresh and clean, contributing to a higher quality of life for many Colorado Springs residents.
Potential Home Value Impact: Though the housing market is constantly changing, some studies suggest homes with solar may sell at a premium compared to similar homes without solar.
Backup Power Options: Added battery storage may help Colorado Springs homeowners keep their homes comfortable and functional, even during outages.

On installation day, our local team of highly trained technicians will come to the site to install the system. It should take only 1 to 3 days to complete.
After installation, your system needs to be inspected by the county or city and the utility company. But once they give the green light, it’s time to flip the switch and activate your new clean energy!

Most homeowners in Colorado can save an average of $35k over the 25 year lifetime of the solar system according to information from energysage.com
Yes! The US Department of Energy reports that Colorado Springs gets more than enough sun for solar panels to be effective since the area averages the equivalent of 5.7 peak hours of sunshine a day or 5,700 watts. Most systems are considered efficient enough to meet energy needs with an average of only 4 peak hours of sunshine, or 4,000 watts a day.
SunPower offers various programs to help homeowners transition to solar on any budget. Whether that’s paying for the system upfront or even leasing through our Third-party ownership program. A SunPower team member can walk you through your financial options during a free consultation. Set yours up today!
Yes, though it is usually reduced by your solar system. With Net Metering some homes generate enough energy to actually earn utility credits from surplus energy delivered back to the grid.
From consultation to activation, most systems are installed within 4–8 weeks, but the actual system installation on the home should take between 1 and 2 days, depending on equipment and complexity of the system.
SunPower offers a 25-year warranty covering the equipment, materials, and service provided during installation.
Yes, through Colorado Springs Utilities' Net Metering Program, you can earn utility credits for surplus energy sent to the grid. This means your surplus energy generated can pay for your energy use in the future if you ever need to use energy from the grid.
