Additionally, a home PV system provides: 

  • Flexibility. Keep your connection to your utility company grid or set up a 100% off-grid household with solar panels and an energy storage system.
  • Security. Every year, thousands of Colorado residents experience power outages. Solar battery storage can serve as a backup energy source during extreme weather events.
  • Higher property value. Will you be selling your property? A working solar system can boost your home’s net worth. Moreover, Colorado’s sales tax exemption includes any additional value a PV system gives your home.
  • Federal incentives. Colorado homeowners may collect a federal tax credit on home solar installations. We can help guide you through this process.
  • Sustainable energy. Going solar reduces your carbon footprint and helps fight climate change.

Residential Solar – Design & Installation FAQs

The right residential solar system depends on your household energy usage, roof space, sun exposure, and future energy goals. At ARE Solar, we review your past utility bills, roof layout, and long-term plans, like adding an EV charger or hot tub, to design a custom solar installation that offsets the right amount of energy without oversizing the system. The recommended sizing is to offset between 100-200% of your electrical usage.

Yes. Solar panels continue producing electricity even during cloudy weather and winter months. Colorado’s high elevation and abundant sunlight make it one of the strongest states for solar energy production year-round. PV Solar panels do not produce electricity when covered in snow. Snow can temporarily reduce output, but panels often shed snow quickly once exposed to sunlight. 

Properly installed solar panels should not damage your roof. In many cases, solar can actually help protect portions of the roof from direct weather exposure. ARE Solar evaluates roof condition before installation to ensure your roofing system is suitable for long-term solar performance.

If your roof needs replacement later, the solar system can be professionally removed and reinstalled(RnR). The solar RnR is often covered under insurance if the roof needs to be replaced because of storm damage.  Many homeowners choose to evaluate roof condition before going solar to avoid future removal costs. ARE Solar has specialized in Solar RnR’s for over 15 years.

In many cases, yes. System expansion depends on available roof space, and utility regulations. Homeowners often expand systems later after purchasing electric vehicles or finishing basement additions. PV system expansions require new permit and utility applications. 

A quality solar company should explain all equipment, permitting, monitoring, and installation costs upfront. Homeowners should also ask about future roofing considerations, warranty coverage, and utility interconnection timelines before signing a contract. ARE Solar is committed to transparency, accountability, and long-term customer value. That means providing clear information about your solar investment so there are no surprises later in the process.
