Some people may be wondering if solar is a good investment for their home or business. Unfortunately, it’s not always a simple yes or no. There are plenty of variables that could make a solar energy solution in Northern Colorado not a good investment but there are various other reasons that make it a viable option. Sandbox+ Solar firmly believes in self-sustainability and is rooted in solutions to provide the best option available for your property and efficiency goals.

With houses and commercial buildings, they are not always designed for solar in mind. There are some roofing constraints that may hinder your ability to get a PV system installed.

Some factors to consider include if your roof is at the end of its life or if there is heavy shading due to trees or other structures in the way that could make your system inefficient. If your roof is over 15 years old, you may want to consider a replacement before your solar panel installation to ensure you get the most out of your investment. Our solar installers can also complete solar removal and reinstall services if needed.

Sometimes, there just is not a good solution that makes sense from an ROI standpoint. If you are planning on moving soon, it might not be the best option to start your solar energy project now. You might as well get the most out of your investment once you reach your new home! That way you can truly explore the benefits that solar has to offer in the long run while seeing a great return on your investment through energy savings.

At Sandbox+ Solar, we can provide a custom layout for your residential or commercial solar project specifically tailored to your needs while working around any constraints. Plus, we can include battery energy storage systems and heat pumps to ensure you get a full suite of benefits. With combining these systems, there is more efficiency from your HVAC system, battery backup for peace of mind during power outages, and the energy to provide for these systems.

If you opt for a solar and battery storage system, you can get 3% off of your contract price with our Energy Home Hero discount. However, if you are ready to install those systems and a heat pump, you have the golden opportunity to get 10% off of your entire contract price.

Utility rates for energy consumption are on the rise and they won’t be stopping anytime soon. The grid infrastructure costs are being passed down to users at record rates so it can keep up with the energy demand from larger data centers that are housing growing AI applications. Solar energy allows you to “lock in” your energy costs for at least 25 years while your neighbors’ bills continue to fluctuate.

When you choose to invest in a PV system, your property dramatically increases in value. This is because energy efficient systems are on the rise to move toward more sustainable communities for the future. Local, state, and federal governments are encouraging this wave by offering a variety of incentives to make these systems more affordable and appealing to consumers. Plus, it is one of the few home improvements that actually pay for itself twice. Once through monthly savings and once at the time of sale.

With the rise of smart home ecosystems and battery storage solutions, solar is no longer just about savings, it’s about reliability. During grid outages or power shut downs, a properly designed solar and energy storage system will keep your lights on and your refrigerator running, providing a level of security that a traditional grid connection simply can’t offer.

Our team at Sandbox+ Solar covers from Denver to Cheyenne and potentially special projects on a case by case basis.
