One number, no performance
Our quotes land in a band of roughly $2.60 to $3.10 per watt installed, gross: equipment, labor, permits, everything, before any incentive programs. Where a project falls in that band depends on roof complexity, not on how you negotiate.
| System | Panels | Typically fits | Gross installed* |
|---|---|---|---|
| 6 kW | 14 | Smaller homes, gas heat, modest AC | $15,600 to $18,600 |
| 8.6 kW | 20 | Typical 3-bed Front Range home | $22,360 to $26,660 |
| 11.2 kW | 26 | Larger homes, heat pump or EV | $29,120 to $34,720 |
*Illustrative, before any incentive programs. Your fixed quote comes from a measured roof, and it holds for 90 days.
About incentives: deliberately no numbers here
You may qualify for tax credits, rebates or utility programs, but they change, expire, and depend on your address and tax situation, and plenty of solar marketing is out of date. Check current rules, or let us: we verify what applies to you and show each program as its own line item in the quote. If a program changes before you sign, the quote changes with it, in the open.
Three ways to pay, one we don't sell
One payment, no interest, simplest math. Everything the system produces for 25 years is yours.
For
Against
Our stance: If you have the cash and plan to stay put, this is usually the best deal. We'll show the math either way.
A home-improvement or credit-union solar loan. You own the system from day one, and the loan payment replaces part of your utility bill.
For
Against
Our stance: Fine, when the loan is honest. Bring us any competing loan quote and we'll pull out the dealer fee for you, free, even if you don't buy from us.
A third party owns the panels on your roof. You buy the power or rent the hardware, usually with a yearly price increase built in.
For
Against
Our stance: We don't sell leases or PPAs. They aren't evil, and once in a while one fits, but the version sold door-to-door is usually the worst deal in the industry. If a lease truly suits you, we'll say so and point you elsewhere.
Consumer defense, free of charge
01
Pad the base price 10% to 20%, then apply a dramatic "manager's discount" that lands right at market rate. If a price can drop $6,000 during one conversation, it was never real.
02
That "1.99% APR" solar loan often hides 15% to 25% of the system price as a lender fee baked into the principal. Our cash and financed prices are the same number, and we'll pull the fee out of any competing loan quote for you, free.
03
"Your bill basically disappears" sells systems; fixed utility charges and below-retail export credits are the reality. Our calculator models both, and prints the assumptions.
No pressure, literally
A measured roof, a line-item fixed price, and only programs we've verified for you. Valid 90 days, and happily compared against anyone else's.
