Licensed, local solar contractor serving Fremont County. Off-grid, grid-tied, and battery backup systems designed for Colorado's high-altitude conditions.
Why Solar in
Fremont County?
Fremont County's position in the Arkansas River canyon creates a unique microclimate — sheltered from Front Range storms, lower humidity than the mountains, and more than 300 days of sunshine annually. Cañon City and Florence lie at 5,332 feet with direct southern exposure ideal for rooftop and ground-mount solar. Black Hills Energy serves most of the county and offers net metering programs. Whether you're a homeowner in Cañon City looking to cut your electric bill, a hobby farmer in Penrose wanting energy independence, or a property owner in Coaldale dealing with unreliable rural service, SolarOps sizes and installs the right system.
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 Fremont County.
SolarOps is based 30 minutes from Cañon City, Florence, Penrose 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.
