ENERGY RATES ARE UP, SOLAR COSTS ARE DOWN

The price of solar panels has steadily fallen over the past decade and prices continue to drop dramatically. At the same time, the average electricity bill for most homes is climbing every month.  Making the switch to solar energy can save homeowners money now and for decades to come.

RETURN ON INVESTMENT

Colorado ranks 5th on the list of states with the best return on investment for solar. On average, Colorado homeowners usually enjoy a 15% rate of return on solar panels, making solar one of the most sound investments you can make!

SOLAR HELPS THE ENVIRONMENT

• Harmful emissions from fossil fuels — including sources of traditional electricity — is the No. 1 contributor to global warming and poor air quality. Solar panels produce energy that is 100% free of greenhouse gas emissions, and the positive impact from even just one home is incredible. For example, having solar panels installed on your house for just five years usually offsets 25,498 pounds of coal burned or 2,689 gallons of gasoline consumed.
• Fossil fuels such as natural gas and coal account for 71% of energy consumption. In addition to contributing to poor air and water quality and global warming, these fuels are non-renewable — when they are gone, they are gone. This means that prices for fossil fuels depend on supply and demand as well as global political and economic forces. Solar, on the other hand is completely renewable energy. And, as solar technology has advanced, this powerful energy source has become exponentially effective and affordable. Solar truly is the energy of today and of the future.

MODERN & STYLISH

Residential solar panels have long outgrown their former reputation as the clunky property of environmental fanatics. Today, eco-friendly home construction and energy use is widely valued, and solar-powered homes are in demand as homeowners have deemed solar panels to be stylish and a must-have in desirable home.decades to come.

DESIGN & MOUNTING OPTIONS

Solar panels now boast high-end looks that integrate seamlessly with modern architecture. Lifetime Solar offers a range of mounting and design options to fit your home and needs, including panels on roofs, garages, carports, ground and pole mounts.

Simple and Streamlined Process for Your Home Solar Panel Power System

You can see our very detailed process that we go through with homeowners and how it makes us so different from other solar companies in Denver. Our process also sets us apart from competitors because we avoid the generic solutions that many other companies utilize. Each solution is customized to the house and customer that we’re working with and offers a customized customer approach at each step in the installation process.  Our knowledge of the Denver area is what helps make our process more unique (especially when compared to national chains). We know the varying weather that residents of Denver encounter each year and what kind of effect it can have on a residential solar energy system. We can walk you through common pitfalls or problem areas that are unique to the terrain of Denver and help avoid those in the installation process.

Solar power is reliable and powerful, but the technology behind it is actually quite simple. Here’s how it works:

• Sunlight hits solar panels installed on a home, where it is harnessed as direct current (DC) electricity. The energy is then funneled to an inverter or micro-inverter, which converts it to AC power, which is what your home runs one. The AC electricity goes to your home’s main electrical service panel, where it is distributed to outlets through the home
• A net meter keeps track of both the power your solar panels are generating and the electricity your home uses. Any solar power your home isn’t using is returned to grid. If at any time cloudy skies prevent your solar panels from generating the electricity your home needs, then you draw power from the grid. At the end of a billing cycle, you receive a credit for any excess net power your home sent to the grid. 
• Instead of stepping out and just enjoying the sun rays warm your face, wouldn’t it be great to know they’re generating your energy as well? The sunrays are where the solar process begins. The sun shines down onto our solar electric modules which collect the sunlight and begin converting that into energy.
• After our solar electric modules have captured the sunlight our system will begin its process. The solar system will begin converting the sunlight into something called, “Direct Current” (you might hear people refer to this as “DC Energy”). That DC Energy is then routed through an inverter which then turns that into “alternating current”. Inverters are a key part of the solar system’s process to making DC energy usable for the home – alternating current (AC). The biggest difference from DC and AC is the flow of electrons. The inverter will cause the electrons to move in multiple directions, whereas at the DC level they only flow one direction.
• Let’s say that one month your new solar energy system has converted and created more AC energy than its used. What happens then? The Lifetime Solar system will then push that excess energy back into the main energy grid and you’ll be eligible for potential rebates. So when the snowy and cloudy Denver weather hits, you can use that excess energy. If you don’t ever have a need to use it though, you might actually get paid by the utility company for the extra energy you’ve provided to the grid.
