Why Solar in
Trinidad?
Trinidad, Colorado sits at 6,025 ft near the New Mexico border, at the base of Raton Pass — the gateway to southern Colorado. The city and surrounding Las Animas County receive 5.5+ peak sun hours and strong year-round solar production. Trinidad Electric Utility serves the city, and San Isabel Electric provides power to rural Las Animas County. With Colorado solar incentives, the 30% federal ITC, and Trinidad's favorable climate, residential solar systems hold payback periods of 7–10 years. SolarOps serves Trinidad and southern Las Animas County as part of our southern Colorado coverage.
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 Trinidad.
SolarOps is based 30 minutes from Aguilar, Walsenburg, Starkville 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.

Trinidad sits in one of Colorado's highest solar irradiance zones. More sun = faster payback = more savings.
30% Federal Tax Credit
