"I obtained 3 quotes. All were courteous during the sales presentation. Jake at Smart Wave Solar was very informative and new his stuff. Project management kept me informed with the project progress. The install crew was extremely professional, always on time, quick and did a great job. The monitoring software is medium. I was also sold on the 110vac 20amp outlet that ties directly into the inverter. This is a very handy feature."

"Per my contract with Redrocks Roof and Solar, I am to notify them if I suspect my solar system is not producing per their design, and to begin an "underproduction claim". If underproducing, they will compensate for lost production. My system operational as of May 5, 2025, I contacted them in August 2025 informing them of above stated concern. Called 3 times without a response until finally tech came out with last second notice on 9/2/2025. Fortunately I was home, helped him find 9 out of 14 panels that were never wired in. Photos were taken/sent to Redrocks. Additionally, it was discovered a setting on the system phone app given to me to monitor system was not enabled, which they were supposed to explain in detail to me and never did. So for 4 months my system was only producing 33%, Brooke (owner) acknowledged in a live phone call on the spot. I never received parts warranty details per the contract, no response after emails and phone messages about all this. I DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!"

"The solar electric system is now installed and functional 5.5 KW Grid tie system. Standard Relewable sub-contracted much of the work, and I had to deal with several Standard Renewable people over the course of the project. I paid in two payments by credit card. They were very slow to make arrengements to take the second payment. There were several times when it was difficult to get response by email. I emailed several times to make the final payment, and could not get them to do so. The conduit in the Attic is run so that it crosses open space at head knocking height. Over all the system is installed and working, but lacks fine touches"

"Please Read!!! After looking for over 2 months I came across Golden Solar. At first I was impressed with the communication, happy with the reviews and the agreed price till I sign in a contract then all communication stopped. The second day they came out and surveyed the property and I thought that this is going to move quickly and I"ll be generating my own power soon. Well this was the end. 1 month later no call or no updates and no return calls. I called and talked to the owner and ask what is going on!!! He didn't have a answer for me. After 2 months again no calls no updates and no return calls. I called and talked to the Sales person and ask what is going on!!! He also didn't have any idea but said he was going to the office and have a meeting with the owner and on Monday will have a firm installation date. Monday came and again NO CALLS so on Tuesday I called and talked to the owner and he said that he could not do the job because of my Concrete Tile Roof (what!!!). If concrete tiles are a problem this should have been told to me when they came out and surveyed my property, the 2nd day. This company should have told me from day 1 that we cannot do this job Instead they wasted over 2 months of my time for nothing. Now I have to start over from square 1 looking for Solar. This is the worst customer service I have ever had dealing with any company. I tried to give this company 1/2 stars but this website wouldn't publish it."

FAQs for solar panel installation projects in Golden, CO

If you experience frequent power outages, want to become more energy independent, or aim to reduce your reliance on the grid, investing in a solar battery system can be worthwhile. With a solar battery, you'll have backup power day or night, even if the local grid fails. However, to power larger appliances or ensure you have energy for longer periods, you'll need to invest in multiple batteries. While the upfront cost is higher, many homeowners find the added peace of mind to be well worth the investment.

Solar battery storage capacity is measured in kilowatt-hours, which directly indicates the amount of energy the battery can store. This measurement determines how long essential appliances will continue operating during an outage. A clear understanding of capacity helps in planning the overall system size to ensure effective backup power and to maintain optimal performance even as the battery ages.

Determining the correct size for your solar battery system requires evaluating your monthly energy usage. Start by reviewing your utility bills to identify your average consumption, and then match the battery’s kilowatt-hour rating to cover essential loads. Consulting with a solar professional ensures that the system is sized to deliver continuous backup power, meeting both immediate and future energy needs.

A solar battery's lifespan ranges from five to 15 years, and its durability is affected by battery quality, charging frequency, and environmental conditions. Regular maintenance and proper usage are key to maximizing longevity. Monitoring your system, following manufacturer guidelines, and scheduling routine inspections all help ensure that your battery performs reliably throughout its service life.
