Photovoltaic Systems
With growing concern over climate change, rising energy prices, and the uncertain dependability of conventional fuel sources, the value of solar electric systems is growing. Solar electric photovoltaic (PV) systems address all of these concerns and use less energy than fossil fuels to provide clean and reliable electricity. With increasing demand, state rebates and advances in technology, PV systems are now more affordable than ever. As a distributed source of power, solar electric systems are easy to install and require little maintenance. As Colorado’s leading solar energy company, SolSource’s top priority is providing its customers with high quality service.

Each SolSource PV system comes with a standard 2-year service warranty. Our PV modules are warrantied for 25-year years and inverter for 5 to 7 years. SolSource offers PV grid-tied, Battery backup or Uninterruptible Power Systems (UPS) and Off-Grid systems.

SolSource serves the following customers:

• Residential: Grid-tied and battery backup solar electric photovoltaic systems can be installed on any home. Most systems are mounted on the roof, yet can easily be ground or pole mounted. Each of these systems acts as a hedge against rising energy costs, increases personal security and helps to abate global warming.
• Commercial: Companies looking to limit their fossil fuel use, reduce their carbon footprint and diversity their energy mix will find PV systems an economically smart choice. Our systems - installed on flat roofs or as awnings, sunshades, skylights or facades - can be scaled to meet a portion or all of your power needs. For companies needing reliable 24/7 power, a solar UPS is the way to go.
• Institutional: We offer grid-tied as well as battery-backup PV systems for schools, hospitals, not-for-profits and government agencies.
• Remote Industrial: For companies, public agencies, military facilites or others needing clean, reliable power in locations where connection to the grid is unavailable, SolSource can design a customized PV/Generator/Battery (hybrid) power system. Such applications might include telecom, cellular, security lighting, parking lots, water pumping for livestock and traffic applications.
  Building Integrated PV Systems

SolSource offers a variety of Building Integrated Photovoltaics (BIPV) system designs. These consist of integrating photovoltaics modules into the building envelope, such as the roof, awning or the facade. By simultaneously serving as the building envelope material and a power generator, BIPV systems provide savings in materials and electricity costs and add architectural interest to the building.

A BIPV system can replace conventional building envelope and roofing materials. By avoiding the cost of these conventional resources, the incremental cost of photovoltaics is reduced and its life-cycle cost improved. Consequently, BIPV systems often have lower overall costs than PV systems requiring separate, dedicated, mounting systems.

Working with Builders:

SolSource is a leader in supporting Colorado builders, as they create energy efficient homes. We help production and custom home-builders distinguish their homes and expand their market by offering PV and Solar Thermal systems.

Our systems are architecturally integrated into new homes, taking into account the best sun angle, pitch of the roof and local aesthetics.
