SUNBEAM INNOVATIONS
Many homeowners worry that Colorado's snowy winters make solar inefficient. However, the reality is the exact opposite. Solar engineers measure viability in "peak sun hours," and Colorado provides incredible conditions for sustained solar production.
Colorado averages an impressive 5.5 to 6 peak sun hours per day. Because of the high altitude, there is less atmosphere for the sun's rays to travel through, resulting in significantly stronger UV irradiance hitting your panels compared to sea-level states.
Solar panels generate power based on UV light, not heat, and are actually more efficient in cold temperatures. When snow falls in Colorado, the reflective white surface of the ground creates the "albedo effect," bouncing extra sunlight onto your panels and boosting production on cold, crisp winter days.
Our engineers will build a custom solar blueprint engineered for your operation — backed by 30-year linear warranties and Tier-1 equipment.
