Colorado Homeowners Surge to Solar Energy Amid Power Concerns

UPDATE: Thousands of Colorado homeowners are making the switch to solar energy, driven by rising electricity costs and the need for reliable power sources. As of April 2024, reports indicate a significant increase in installations, as residents seek energy independence and sustainable solutions to protect against outages.

Across Colorado, families are sharing compelling stories of how solar energy has transformed their lives. Homeowners are not only reducing their electricity bills but also gaining peace of mind amid concerns over grid reliability. One key player in this movement, Namaste Solar, has been instrumental in supporting this transition, boasting a stellar 20-year track record of high-quality installations and customer satisfaction.

For Farhana and James Morales, the decision to go solar stemmed from a series of power outages at their mountain home. “When the power goes down, we can’t work, which is a big problem,” Farhana explained. After extensive research, they chose Namaste Solar for its transparency and no-pressure sales approach. “Honesty and humility are important qualities, and that’s what was displayed throughout the whole process,” she added.

Another homeowner, Nelson Chen, turned to solar following a 23-hour power outage caused by a windstorm. He recognized the importance of having a reliable energy source, stating, “I need a Powerwall,” referring to the battery storage system that keeps homes powered during outages. His first month with solar saw his electricity bill drop from $150 to just $10.

Further illustrating the benefits, Allison and Steve Down have experienced firsthand the advantages of installing battery storage alongside their solar system. “We’ve had two outages here since the beginning of the year, and our neighbors have been quick to note that we’re the only ones on the block who have power,” they shared. This reliability has not only helped them during outages but has also served as a hedge against the rising cost of electricity.

Financial planner Brian Lichtenheld emphasizes the economic benefits of solar energy. “The sooner you get solar, the faster you’re going to break even,” he said. Lichtenheld, who works at BSW Wealth Partners, aligns with Namaste Solar’s values as both companies are committed to social and environmental standards. “It was pretty easy because I already had the values alignment piece,” he noted.

As homeowners across Colorado embrace solar energy, the push for renewable resources is rapidly evolving. Namaste Solar’s commitment to customer satisfaction and ethical practices has earned them a loyal client base, with many residents advocating for sustainable solutions in their communities.

With the growing urgency surrounding energy costs and environmental concerns, Coloradoans are finding that solar energy is not just a financial decision; it’s a lifestyle choice that offers independence, sustainability, and peace of mind.
