I would like to congratulate you, Peter and the rest of the crew for a
successful installation performed professionally by all members of your
team. I will personally recommend your company. From the start of the
project to the finish, everyone involved with your company was courteous,
mindful of any questions that I asked and displayed an attitude for prompt
customer service.

I wanted to take a minute to tell you both how much Jane and I appreciate
the time and effort you put into our solar installation. It was wonderful of
you to go the extra mile to make the installation as unobtrusive as
possible, even down to the detail of painting the conduit to match our
house. Your team showed a commitment to quality and customer satisfaction
that is rare these days. We’re very pleased with the entire project and rest
easy knowing that we’ve done a good thing for the environment and also
practically eliminated our monthly electric bill. We’ll gladly serve as
reference customers for you guys any time.

Residential Systems
Now Is the Time to Go Solar
Xcel Energy’s Solar Rewards rebate program plus a Federal tax credit make photovoltaic systems very affordable. We can carry the rebate, allowing your out-of-pocket cost to be about 40% of the total system price. This rebate is not considered taxable income.
The Federal tax credit is capped at $2,000 for residential installations. Nearly all sizes of systems get the full $2,000. You can carry the tax credit forward up to two years if you can't use it all in the year your system goes online. Between the rebate and tax credit about 2/3rds of the system cost is covered.
We will design a system to fit your needs, site and budget. The three primary factors are your available space with sufficient solar access, your budget and your goals.
The sample system proposal below includes Denver permits and fees and city and state sales tax. Your own city or county fees will vary. There may be other costs, which we will determine after visiting your property. Once we measure and inspect your home we can finalize your own system quote. The visit, design and quotation are done with no obligation to you.

Photovoltaic Systems Save You Money
Your new PV system pays off financially, plus will help the planet we all share. The sample spreadsheet on this site shows that the system’s output pays for itself in twelve years of production. System payback varies with the size, panel tilt to the southern horizon, and your annual solar access. It reduces emissions by nearly 18,000 pounds of carbon dioxide per year.
Get the Information With No Obligation
Vibrant Solar’s experts will do a complete solar site analysis and prepare both your design and quotation. You will receive a spreadsheet, detailing costs and charting your system’s output. It includes a projection of your savings, in both dollars and CO2 emissions. It will even show a projected increase in your home’s value. The panels will yield tremendous savings for more than 50 years.
With a photovoltaic (PV) system you are selling the electricity you generate to Xcel Energy directly through the same meter you use to buy from the grid. They purchase what you produce for the same price they charge you. Produce the same as you use and you zero out your bill. If you have a meter there is no need for a backup battery system, which can be expensive.
We can mount systems on the ground, roof, or building sides. From dual axis tracker systems which follow the sun’s arc to window awnings and patio structures, we can install at nearly any location with sufficient year round sunlight. Our solar consultants will analyze your site and take solar access measurements. We will work with you for preferences and help determine your electricity usage. Then we will design and quote, all before you have to make a final decision to go solar.
We Do It All
When you order your system from Vibrant Solar, we will do all the work for you. We secure the necessary permits; handle the engineering, installation and inspection. Our structural engineer will inspect your roof. If you need roof repairs our co-owner, general contractor Beneficial Home, can take care of it. If you need electrical work our certified electrician Intellectric can do it. We will process all the paperwork with Xcel Energy and track your rebate. From start to finish, we will make the process easy and painless. We can usually complete the process in about ten to twelve weeks.
Add Geothermal for Heating & Cooling
We will drill holes up to 250’ deep, install coils and other equipment, and bring up the constant 55º temperatures. Geothermal systems provide that base temperature for warmth and cooling for your building, covering up to 100% of your needs. While there are no government incentives right now, a geothermal system can pay for itself fast.
Heat Water with Solar Thermal
Thin panels containing tubing are installed, usually on the roof. During the day when the panels are heating the water it is pumped up, through, and down for use. When the sun goes down the system automatically reverts to your boiler, switching back the next morning. A tax credit is available, and these systems also pay for themselves quickly.
Your General Contracting Needs
Vibrant Solar can also take care of most of your general contracting needs. Our co-owner, general contractor Beneficial Home, can handle nearly any task you have, from removing a tree to replacing a roof to painting your home. They’re economical, and owned by a man who used to be a home inspector.
This all means...
It Pays to Go Green.
No Headaches Later! We offer a warranty on all work– five years on installation, ten on the inverter, 25 on the power output. There are no moving parts. No maintenance is required.
