FAQs
What types of solar systems do you install in Englewood?
We specialize in grid-tied, grid-tied with battery backup, and fully off-grid photovoltaic (PV) systems. All our arrays use high-efficiency monocrystalline panels (21 %+ module efficiency), rapid-shutdown compliant inverters, and Level 2 smart EV-ready wiring so your system meets today’s codes and tomorrow’s needs. Because Englewood is in climate zone 5B, we design racking systems rated for 140 mph wind loads and 50 psf snow loads, ensuring year-round performance.
How much can I expect to save on my electric bill?
Most Englewood homeowners offset 80–110 % of their annual electricity consumption, which can cut utility costs by $1,000–$2,000 per year depending on usage and Xcel Energy rates. With net metering, excess kWh sent to the grid earn full retail credit, rolling over monthly. Typical cash-flow payback is 7–10 years, and internal rates of return average 10–14 % once the system tax credits are factored in.
Are there rebates or incentives available for solar in Englewood?
Yes. (1) The 30 % Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) applies to equipment and labor. (2) Colorado offers a sales- and use-tax exemption for renewable-energy equipment. (3) Xcel Energy’s Solar*Rewards® program pays a performance-based incentive of $0.02–$0.04 per kWh for qualifying systems under 25 kW. (4) Englewood waives local renewable permit fees up to $500. We handle all paperwork so you receive every available incentive.
How long does the entire solar installation process take?
From signed contract to energized system, the timeline is typically 6–10 weeks. Week 1: site survey and shade analysis. Week 2–3: engineering, utility interconnection application, and permit submission. Week 4–5: permit approval and equipment procurement. Week 6: on-site installation (usually 1–2 days for a 10 kW array). Week 7–8: city inspection and utility meter swap. Week 9–10: final commissioning and monitoring app walk-through.
What maintenance is required for my new solar array?
Solar PV systems are largely maintenance-free. In Englewood’s semi-arid climate, rainfall usually keeps panels clean; however, we recommend a gentle deionized-water rinse once a year to maintain peak output. Our systems include panel-level monitoring, so we remotely watch performance and can alert you to any anomalies. The only consumable component is the DC/AC inverter fan filter, which we replace during the free annual health check we provide for the first 5 years.
What warranties and post-installation support do you provide?
Solar modules carry a 25-year linear performance warranty (no more than 0.25 % degradation per year) and a 12-year product warranty, extendable to 25 years. Our premium string or microinverters come with a 12–25 year manufacturer warranty. We back our workmanship with a 10-year labor warranty that covers roof penetrations and balance-of-system components. Lifetime system monitoring and a dedicated local service crew mean you have one point of contact for any questions or repairs.
