Why Solar in
Cañon City?
Cañon City is the largest city in Fremont County, positioned in the Arkansas River canyon at 5,332 ft where high desert sunshine and canyon walls create outstanding solar conditions. Black Hills Energy serves the city and surrounding municipal area, offering net metering programs that make grid-tied solar highly cost-effective for Cañon City homeowners. With 300+ days of sunshine annually and the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit, a typical Cañon City residential solar system achieves payback in 7–10 years on a 25-year installation. SolarOps serves Cañon City as part of our Fremont County coverage area.
Solar energy payback periods in southern Colorado typically run 7–10 years on a 25-year panel warranty. After that, you're generating free electricity. With the federal 30% Investment Tax Credit still in full effect through 2032 and Colorado's additional state programs, there has never been a better time to go solar in Cañon City.
SolarOps is based 30 minutes from Florence, Penrose, Coaldale in Silver Cliff, CO. We're not a national franchise shipping in crews from Denver — we're your neighbors, and we stand behind our work long after the installation is complete.
