Your solar panel installation in 3 easy steps:

  • Schedule Your Complimentary Solar Evaluation

    Call (720) 605-7270 or schedule online. A Cooper solar specialist will learn about your goals, current electricity use, roof, utility provider, and future home-energy plans. Having recent electricity bills available can help us develop a more useful initial recommendation.

  • Evaluate the Roof and Electrical System

    Our team reviews the roof layout, condition, orientation, shade, accessible installation areas, electrical panel, service capacity, meter location, and equipment placement. If the roof may need replacement soon, completing roofing work before or alongside solar installation may help avoid removing and reinstalling panels later.

  • Review Your Custom Solar Proposal

    You will receive a proposal explaining the recommended system size, estimated production, equipment, installation scope, electrical work, available options, and upfront project price. The proposal may also compare battery storage, EV charging, panel upgrades, and financing when relevant. Production and savings estimates are projections, not guarantees. Actual results depend on weather, utility rates, electricity use, shade, equipment performance, and other conditions.

  • Complete Design, Permitting, and Utility Applications

    After you approve the project, Cooper prepares the required system design and submits applicable permit and utility-interconnection documents. Denver requires permits for residential photovoltaic equipment, inverters, battery systems, and related solar work. Some qualifying single-family and duplex projects may be eligible for streamlined SolarAPP+ or electrical quick-permit processes.

  • Install the Solar and Electrical Equipment

    Once required approvals and equipment are available, our installation team mounts the panels, installs the inverter and electrical components, completes approved panel or circuit work, and connects optional equipment included in the project. Many residential physical installations can be completed over one or several working days. Larger systems, complicated roofs, batteries, panel upgrades, or additional electrical work may require more time.

  • Complete Inspections and Utility Interconnection

    After installation, the project must complete applicable local inspection and utility-review steps. For Xcel Energy projects, the solar process includes submission of final inspection documents and installed-equipment information before metering and final activation. The system should not be operated until the required approvals and permission to operate have been received.

  • Review System Operation and Monitoring

    After activation, we explain how to monitor production, what changes you may see on your utility bill, how battery controls work when included, and whom to contact with questions.

Is Solar a Good Fit for Your Home?

You Want to Reduce the Electricity You Purchase: Solar panels generate electricity during daylight hours, helping offset part of the electricity your household would otherwise purchase from the utility. The amount you may save depends on system production, electricity use, utility rates, financing, shade, equipment, and how long you own the system.

You Are Adding a Heat Pump or Electric Appliances: A heat pump, heat-pump water heater, induction range, or other electric appliance can increase household electricity use. Planning the solar system around both current and expected future consumption can help prevent installing a system that no longer matches your needs after additional upgrades.

You Own or Plan to Buy an Electric Vehicle: Charging an electric vehicle at home can increase electricity demand. Cooper can review your driving and charging expectations when sizing the solar system. Because we also provide electrical services, our team can coordinate a Level 2 EV charger, dedicated circuit, electrical-panel evaluation, and solar installation.

You Want Backup Power: Solar panels alone generally do not keep a home powered during a utility outage. Most grid-connected systems automatically shut down to protect utility workers and electrical equipment. A compatible battery and backup configuration may allow selected circuits to continue operating during certain outages.

Your Electricity Use Has Changed: A finished basement, home office, new HVAC system, hot tub, EV, growing household, or additional appliance may change the amount of electricity your home uses. Reviewing recent utility bills helps our team design around your actual household rather than relying only on roof size. You Want to Prepare for Future Home Electrification: Even when you are not ready to install every upgrade at once, Cooper can help you plan solar, battery storage, EV charging, HVAC, water heating, and panel capacity together. A coordinated plan may reduce the need to redo electrical work later.

Solar panel cost factors:

Panel count:

The most significant cost of your upcoming solar project is the cost of the panels themselves. The higher the panel count, the more you’ll end up paying. Panel count is dependent on what you want to achieve from your panels. Some homeowners want solar to supplement their existing energy needs. Others want total reliance on the grid. No matter what your goals are, Cooper is here to help.

Roof design:

Some roofs are tricky, especially here in Denver, where pitched roofing is the norm. Roofing can limit the number of panels you can install. In other cases, the count you need may be possible, but it will take a bit of extra labor to get the job done right.

Available rebates:

Rebates and incentives have been the norm for solar for years. Finding those incentives isn’t always easy, however. The good news is the Cooper Green Team knows exactly what rebates and incentives are out there. We even help our customers apply for them.

Solar additions:

Considering a new EV home charger or home battery system? These products come with additional costs, but they’re often well worth it when you see the convenience they bring to your life.

Solar Panel FAQs

Many Denver homes receive substantial sunlight, but a property’s actual solar potential depends on roof size, shade, direction, structural condition, utility service, and household electricity use.

A site-specific evaluation provides more useful information than a general estimate based only on the city or ZIP code.

A solar specialist should evaluate usable roof space, shade, direction, roof pitch, roofing material, roof age, structural considerations, and the location of vents or other obstructions.

A roof can receive plenty of sunlight while still requiring repairs or design adjustments before solar installation.

The number of panels depends on your annual electricity use, panel wattage, roof exposure, shade, desired energy offset, utility rules, and expected future electricity needs.

A home adding an EV charger or heat pump may need a different design than a home whose electricity use will remain unchanged.

Solar may reduce the electricity you purchase, but eliminating the entire bill is not guaranteed.

Utility bills may still include fixed charges, minimum charges, taxes, fees, or electricity used when the system is not producing enough power. Results also depend on system size and household use.

Yes. Solar panels can produce electricity during winter when sunlight reaches them.

Shorter days, snow cover, clouds, temperature, shade, and the angle of sunlight can affect seasonal production.

Yes, but production is generally lower than it would be under strong direct sunlight.

Annual system estimates account for changing weather and seasonal conditions rather than assuming every day will be perfectly sunny.

Solar panels are designed for outdoor installation, but snow accumulation can temporarily reduce production by blocking sunlight.

The roof structure, mounting system, local design requirements, equipment rating, and professional installation all affect system durability.

Roof replacement may be worth considering if the roof is approaching the end of its service life or already needs significant repair.

Installing solar and then replacing the roof later may require the panels to be temporarily removed and reinstalled.

A standard grid-connected solar system generally shuts down during an outage for safety.

A compatible inverter, battery, transfer equipment, and backup configuration may allow selected circuits to operate during certain outages.

No. Many homeowners install solar without battery storage.

A battery may be useful if you want backup power, time-of-use management, stored evening energy, or greater control over how generated electricity is used.

Battery size depends on which appliances and circuits you want to support, how long you want them to operate, and whether solar will be available to recharge the battery.

Backing up a refrigerator, lights, internet equipment, and a few outlets requires less capacity than supporting air conditioning, electric heating, or most of the home.

Often, but compatibility depends on the existing inverter, electrical design, equipment, available space, utility requirements, and desired backup configuration.

A solar and electrical evaluation is needed before selecting the battery.

Yes. Cooper can coordinate solar installation with a Level 2 EV charger and dedicated electrical circuit.

The solar design can account for estimated vehicle charging, but actual solar production and charging times will not always occur at the same time.

Not always.

The need for an upgrade depends on the existing panel, service rating, equipment condition, available breaker space, solar-system size, interconnection method, battery plans, EV charging, and other electrical loads.

Solar electricity can help offset some of the power used by a heat pump, but the panels do not directly operate the system at all times.

The solar design should consider expected annual heat-pump electricity use, especially if the heat pump is replacing gas heating.

Net metering is a utility arrangement that accounts for eligible electricity sent from a solar system to the grid.

Credit methods, rates, agreements, system limits, and billing rules depend on the utility and current program requirements.
