What are Solar Panels?

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!

How do Solar Panels Work?

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).

How much does it cost to install a solar energy system?

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.

Is Solar Energy Right For Your Home?

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.

Solar payback period

How long does it take to recoup the initial project investment through solar energy savings?

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.

How will my solar panels affect your roof?

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.

What about the additional weight being added to your roof?

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.
