Why Solar in
Colorado City?
Colorado City, Colorado sits at the foot of the Greenhorn Mountains along I-25 in southern Pueblo County — a community of rural properties, small ranches, and mountain parcels that are ideal candidates for solar energy. At 5,597 ft the area receives 5.5+ peak sun hours daily. Properties in and around Colorado City can access Xcel Energy net metering programs, while rural parcels toward Rye and Beulah often benefit more from off-grid or hybrid systems with battery storage. SolarOps serves all of southern Pueblo County including Colorado City, routing through the area regularly from our Custer County base.
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 Colorado City.
SolarOps is based 30 minutes from Pueblo, Rye, Beulah 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.
