SOLAR INSTALLATION
SOUTHERN COLORADO
Licensed, local solar contractor serving Southern Colorado. Off-grid, grid-tied, and battery backup systems designed for Colorado's high-altitude conditions.
Why Solar in
Southern Colorado?
Southern Colorado is one of the best solar regions in the entire United States. The area spanning from Pueblo south to the New Mexico border and west through the mountain counties of Custer, Fremont, and Huerfano receives 300+ sunny days per year at elevations between 4,600 and 8,000 feet — producing exceptional solar panel output with minimal atmospheric interference. SolarOps was founded specifically to serve this region from our base in Silver Cliff, Custer County. We install off-grid systems for remote mountain properties, grid-tied systems for Pueblo and Cañon City homeowners, battery backup systems for ranches that lose power in storms, and mobile solar for RVs, trailers, and job sites throughout the region.
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 Southern Colorado.
SolarOps is based 30 minutes from Pueblo, Cañon City, Walsenburg 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.
