SOLAR INSTALLATION
FLORENCE, COLORADO
Licensed, local solar contractor serving Florence. Off-grid, grid-tied, and battery backup systems designed for Colorado's high-altitude conditions.
Why Solar in
Florence?
Florence, Colorado occupies the southern edge of Fremont County between Cañon City and Penrose, at 5,160 ft in the high-desert foothills. Black Hills Energy serves the city, making grid-tied solar with net metering an excellent investment for Florence homeowners. The area's 300+ annual sunny days and moderate elevation give solar panels here strong year-round production. Rural properties outside Florence toward Rockvale and the Wet Mountain foothills benefit from hybrid or fully off-grid systems when grid reliability becomes a factor. SolarOps covers Florence and all of Fremont County as a regular service 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 Florence.
SolarOps is based 30 minutes from Cañon City, Penrose, Rockvale 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.
