What I Offer and Pricing
Explore my services and see how I can help keep your PV system in working order.
Critter Guard
Protect your solar panels from pests like squirrels and pigeons, which often nest under arrays and can cause damage. The critter guard is constructed from durable, galvanized steel mesh with a black poly coating that blends seamlessly with your system, providing long-lasting protection. Due to the lack of trees, it is highly recommended on ALL systems in Colorado.
Diagnosis and Repair
Ensure your solar system operates at peak performance. I can diagnose issues and repair or replace components like inverters, microinverters, panels, and optimizers. If you're moving into a new home with solar or unsure if your system is working properly, then I can can perform a full system check to confirm everything is functioning correctly. Don't let your warranties expire and get your parts replaced today!
Panel Cleaning
Remove built-up dust, dirt, and pollen to ensure your solar panels operate at peak efficiency. Regular cleaning maximizes energy production and helps protect the longevity of your investment. Cleaned using a Ryobi power scrubber and a specialized cleaning solution called Solar Sheen.
Snow Guards
Prevent heavy snow buildup from sliding off your solar array in large sheets, helping protect walkways, driveways, patios, gutters and people from sudden impact or injury. Offering the "fence" style and "pad" style guard made by Alpine SnowGuards. These guards attach directly to the solar panels without making penetrations.

Q: Can you fulfill a warranty replacement for my system if my installer is out of business?
A: Yes! I will have to charge a labor fee to replace the failed components, but there should be no charge for parts if they are still under warranty. I will make sure to work with your system manufacturer in getting any needed parts replaced. ***To allow warranty replacements for SolarEdge, SE requires a $99 fee to transfer site from old installer to CO Solar Care
Q: What do you do for a system assessment?
A: My comprehensive solar system assessment is designed to give you a clear picture of your system's current condition and performance, always conducted with safety as the top priority. Here’s what I cover:
1. Physical Inspection: I personally conduct a careful examination of all accessible components on your roof. This includes inspecting the solar panels for physical damage (like cracks or potential hail impact), checking the integrity and bolt tightness of the mounting racks, and ensuring all wiring is secure and free from damage caused by pests or weather-related wear common in Colorado (like UV or temperature swings).
2. Performance Check: I verify that your system is generating electricity as expected by checking key performance indicators, such as the voltage levels of your solar panel strings, and reviewing the operational status and any fault codes reported by your inverter(s).
3. Monitoring Connectivity: I check if your system is successfully connected to any monitoring platforms, which helps in tracking performance over time.
4. Warranty Review: I investigate the status of relevant manufacturer warranties for your key components.
Following the assessment, I'll provide you with a detailed written report, complete with photos, summarizing my findings regarding your system's condition, performance, and warranty details, along with any clear recommendations.
Q: Can you monitor my Enphase or Solar Edge system?
A: Yes! If your install company is out of business or slow to respond let me know and I can transfer your monitoring from your old company to CO Solar Care. You will still be able to monitor your account, but if anything goes down an alert will be sent to my account. This will also help speed up the process if anything needs a warranty replacement. ***To allow warranty replacements, SolarEdge requires a $99 fee to transfer site from old installer to CO Solar Care
Q: Are you insured?
A: Yes, I am fully insured!
Q: Do you offer any other types of service?
A: If there's a service you need that isn't listed, please reach out—I may be able to assist. I'm always open to discussing additional solar-related services that could benefit your system!
Q: I see lots of pricing by the foot. How big is a typical solar panel?
A: They are usually around 3.5ft x 5.5ft ± 1ft
Q: How do I know if a component on my Solar Edge or Enphase system has failed?
A: If your system has monitoring capability, then usually you can find out through your monitoring portal. If you don't have monitoring or it is down, then you can tell by physically looking at your Solar Edge Inverter or Enphase Envoy.
Solar Edge
SE inverters use LED indicators. An error is indicated by a solid red light. A solid green light means everything is functional.
Enphase
On your Enphase envoy (usually located in a white box by your meter) you will see 4 LED indicators. A solid red light on the lightning bolt or arrows indicator (2 lights on the right) means an error with the system. Solid or flashing green means everything is functional.

Why I Started Colorado Solar Care
Hi, I’m the owner of Colorado Solar Care, so far a one-man operation (yep, that’s me!). But don’t let that worry you—I’m deeply committed to providing top-notch solar services.
My journey in the solar industry began in 2016 after earning my bachelor’s degree in Sustainable Technology from Appalachian State University. Over the years, I’ve worked with several solar companies in North Carolina and Colorado, gaining valuable insights into both successful and failing companies.
One thing that stood out to me in the industry was the lack of attention given to servicing systems after installation. I often encountered situations where customers had to wait months for simple fixes. This issue arises because installation companies are focused on selling and installing new systems, which can push service requests to the back burner. Frustrated by this, I decided to do something about it and founded Colorado Solar Care.
With nearly 10 years of experience working with industry leaders like SolarEdge, Enphase, Tesla, SunPower, SMA, and more, I’m dedicated to providing reliable, timely, and high-quality service to keep your solar system running smoothly.
I’ve also created a few valuable contacts throughout the industry in Colorado, so rest assured, it won’t just be me if the job requires additional support.
