Solar panels provide a clean energy source to power your home. It is a great way to generate eco-friendly energy for your property without burning fossil fuels.
Did you know a solar energy system can increase your home’s value? According to a new Zillow study, homes with solar panels have a resale value 4% higher than similar homes without solar.
When you install a solar energy system, you unlock federal and state tax credits and incentives. These incentives enhance the already-great value of solar energy.
Your solar panels may not cover the entire roof, but do provide protection in many sections. The panels cover the roof from debris and UV rays so your roof will last longer.
All it takes is a recent energy bill to get started. Using that, we can meet with you to find out if a solar panel installation would be a good fit for your home.
We will create a diagram of where your solar panels would be located and how much energy you would be able to generate. You will have several options to choose from based on the needs of your home and your family.
Choose which proposed solar option works best for you, sign your solar agreement, and we’ll handle the rest. We’ll get to work on permitting, acquiring the panels, and scheduling our team to install your new system.
Our professional installation team will ensure you get the most out of your solar system by using industry best-practice installation techniques.
You’ll be able to enjoy generating your own power immediately after the installation is complete. Your new solar panel system brings independence from the traditional energy grid, and the pleasure of knowing that you’re helping generate clean energy.
Our team of solar professionals is excited to bring solar energy to as many properties as possible. Reach out today to schedule your solar evaluation!
Solar panels are energy producing hardware that can be installed at your home to replace the energy you buy from utility companies (like Xcel). A solar panel absorbs energy from the sun and converts it into electricity. The electricity gained from solar panels can be used immediately, stored for later (in an optional battery), or sold back to the grid. In the Denver area where we get 300 days of sunshine, there is a LOT of solar energy to collect!
The main active component in solar panels are photovoltaic cells (PV cells). PV cells collect photons from the sun’s rays, and those photons loosen electrons from the cell itself. The electrons are funneled into a channel that guides them onto metal conductive plates, then into electricity-conductive wires. The wires then push the electrons into an inverter that adapts the live electricity into alternating current (AC). At that stage, the electricity is available for use or storage at your home (without needing your utility company).

We see most solar panel systems costing an average of $14,000-$20,000 to design and install. However, the systems installed by the Sol Vista team usually cost $0 up front as we have attractive financing options to make it even easier to upgrade to solar. The project cost can change by several factors, including the size of your roof (and desired solar energy system), roof position/angle, roof age, or structural work needed. The cost also includes any local permit costs that apply for your project. The goal of any solar installation is to create efficient energy, which is made better when panels have an unobstructed path to collect the sun’s rays.
The best way to find out if solar is a good option for your home is to have a free solar evaluation done by the Sol Vista team. We will review your roof characteristics, shade patterns, angles, and other factors to help you understand whether solar is an option for your home.
This ultimately depends on many factors, like shade patterns, weather patterns, and energy usage by your family. Because the Denver area gets 300 days of sunshine per year, the average payback period here is faster than the average for the United States as a whole. Denver’s average solar payback period is between 9 and 11 years, while the United States average is 10 to 12 years.
A lot of our customers ask if installing solar panels will cause damage or other problems to their existing roof. Because Sol Vista is an integrated roofing and solar installation company, we can help ensure that the solar installation does not compromise your existing roof system.
The solar panel installation will be mounted on racks that are drilled into your wood roof deck. These are installed using a lag bolt that is either tucked under the roof material, or sealed with elastomeric sealant for extra waterproofing. If your roof or your panels need to be replaced or repaired, we can simply detach the panels from their rack system to access the repair area.
Solar panel systems are actually significantly lighter than other rooftop systems such as HVAC. And because of the angle the panels will be installed at, your solar installation will promote improved snow drainage during winter.
Denver is known nationwide as being one of the best cities for solar panel installations. The consistent and predictable sunshine means you will get the most out of your solar energy system. And the Colorado state tax incentives (not to mention federal incentives) make going solar economically feasible for the majority of Colorado residents.
