CORE Electric Rates Are Increasing 6.7% in 2026: How Solar Can Protect Colorado Homeowners
CORE Electric rates will rise 6.7% in 2026. See what’s changing, how much bills may increase, and how solar protects CO homeowners from ongoing rate hikes.
Your solar system represents a significant investment in your home’s future—one that should deliver reliable energy production for 25-30 years. Solar panels are built to last and are remarkably low-maintenance, but like any electrical or mechanical system they benefit from professional maintenance and occasional repairs to perform at their best.
At Solar Power Pros, we help homeowners across Denver and the Front Range protect and optimize their solar investment. As a veteran-owned and locally operated residential solar panel maintenance company, we bring precision, accountability, and service to every job—principles we’ve upheld for more than a decade. Whether your solar panels need a quick performance check, expert troubleshooting, or a full system inspection, our experienced technicians ensure your system continues to perform safely and efficiently for years to come.
Solar panels are designed for durability, but Colorado’s unique climate puts real demands on your system. Intense UV exposure at high altitude, hail storms, heavy snow, and dramatic temperature swings, and even damage from local critters–like squirrels–can all impact performance over time.
Regular maintenance catches small issues before they become expensive problems and ensures your panels generate maximum power year after year. We don’t wait for equipment to fail. Our preventive approach keeps your system mission-ready, protecting both your investment and your energy independence.
Even a quick annual checkup can give you confidence that your system is producing as it should.
As a trusted solar panel repair company serving homeowners across Colorado, our W-2 employee service technicians specialize in diagnosing, repairing, and optimizing residential solar systems, including many common inverter brands like Enphase, SolarEdge, Tesla, and others. We’ll provide a clear explanation of our findings with recommendations.
What about coordination and compliance? We handle the details so you don’t have to. We work directly with roofers, contractors, and insurance companies during maintenance projects. We also ensure all work meets HOA requirements and utility connection standards, including obtaining proper permits, certifications, or licensure.
We perform thorough solar system inspections that go beyond surface-level checks. Our diagnostic process includes electrical system testing, code compliance verification, inverter functionality assessment, and panel-level production analysis to identify underperforming modules when applicable.
Because your solar panels sit out of view on your roof, damage and performance issues often go unnoticed. Our comprehensive inspections identify problems early, when they’re easiest and least expensive to fix.
We can also assess protective components such as Critter Guards and Snow Guards, which help prevent pest damage (commonly from squirrels) and reduce snow buildup that can affect performance and safety. If your system is missing these protections or they need repair, we’ll recommend durable, Colorado-tested solutions to safeguard your array for the long run.
Climbing onto your roof to check panels or wiring yourself can be dangerous and may void your warranty. Our manufacturer-certified technicians use professional safety equipment and proven procedures to handle every inspection safely and efficiently–so you don’t have to risk it.
When issues arise, our solar repair services get your system back to optimal performance quickly. We handle inverter repair and replacement, wire and connection repairs, damaged panel replacement, mounting hardware repairs, system resetting, troubleshooting production losses, and storm damage assessment.

Our Solar System Inspection provides peace of mind for homeowners, buyers, and real estate professionals alike. Similar to a home inspection, this detailed evaluation focuses specifically on your solar PV system, including energy storage (batteries). Most home inspectors aren’t trained or qualified to assess this.
Our manufacturer-certified solar technicians perform a comprehensive multi-point system analysis, checking electrical connections, roof penetrations, racking integrity, inverter performance, and monitoring functionality. We ensure your solar PV system is safe, compliant, and performing as expected.
The most cost-effective approach to solar ownership is preventing problems before they start. Our annual maintenance plans include scheduled system inspections, performance monitoring when needed, hardware checks, and early warning alerts for developing issues.
Think of it as scheduled maintenance for your car—regular attention keeps everything running smoothly and extends the life of your investment. These plans are optional—many of our customers simply appreciate having a trusted partner to keep an eye on system health over time. Start your maintenance plan today.
Planning a roof replacement or home renovation? We provide complete solar panel removal and reinstallation services that protect your system during roofing projects.

Our solar troubleshooting services diagnose and resolve unexpected drops in energy production, inverter error messages, communication failures with monitoring systems, grid connection issues, and shading problems. We get to the root cause quickly using advanced diagnostic tools and expert attention to detail.
Honestly, most Colorado solar panels don’t need frequent cleaning. Rain typically handles normal dust and pollen buildup. However, certain conditions—heavy pollen seasons, ash from a forest fire, nearby construction, or bird activity—can create buildup that affects performance.
Some homeowners prefer occasional cleaning simply because they want their panels to look their best. We’re happy to help with that.
When cleaning is needed, we use proper techniques that won’t damage protective coatings or void warranties. We also have the safety equipment to work on your roof without risk. We always advise homeowners to hire professionals for rooftop work rather than attempting it themselves.
At Solar Power Pros, we believe in standing by the systems we install. That’s why we prioritize maintenance and service for our existing customers first—a reflection of our values of duty, integrity, and long-term accountability. When you choose us for your installation, you gain a trusted local partner for the life of your system.
Are you researching residential solar installation? Know that when you select a trusted, established local solar company with an excellent track record, you're ensuring that someone will be there to service your investment for decades to come.

When capacity allows, we adopt installations from companies that have gone out of business—as a commitment to our community and the principle of leaving no one behind.
Homeowners across Colorado–from Denver, Boulder, Fort Collins, to Colorado Springs and beyond–trust us because we take pride in doing things the right way—no shortcuts, no surprises, just honest, high-quality service.
Your solar panels should deliver decades of clean, affordable energy. Professional maintenance helps ensure that happens and maximizes your return on investment. We’re here for the long haul, just like you. Your solar system is a 25-30 year investment, and we’re committed to supporting that entire lifecycle.

Yes, but not as much as most people think. Solar panels are designed to last for decades, but like any system exposed to the elements, they benefit from occasional maintenance to ensure safe and consistent energy production. At Solar Power Pros, we perform professional system inspections and preventive care to keep your equipment operating efficiently. A little attention goes a long way in protecting your long-term investment.
We recommend a professional inspection and system check at least once per year. This allows our technicians to catch small issues—such as loose connections, debris buildup, or declining panel performance—before they become costly problems. As a veteran-owned solar maintenance company, we take a proactive, mission-ready approach to system reliability so your power stays consistent year-round.
A typical maintenance visit includes full system diagnostics, visual inspection of panels and wiring, performance testing, inverter checks, and a review of mounting and safety components. If repairs or replacements are needed, our team will provide a clear assessment and recommendation before any work begins. We can also assist with solar panel removal and reinstallation if you’re replacing your roof—ask about our dedicated service for that.
Maintenance focuses on preventive care—checking performance, tightening components, and ensuring your system operates at peak efficiency. Repairs are performed when damage or malfunction occurs, such as a failed inverter or broken panel. Solar Power Pros offers both, serving as a trusted local solar panel repair company that keeps your system producing clean power for decades to come.
For homeowners, solar maintenance costs vary depending on your system’s size, location, and service needs. Routine maintenance visits are typically a few hundred dollars—an affordable way to avoid more expensive repairs later. If you’re looking for a reliable solar maintenance company in Colorado, we’re happy to provide a transparent estimate for your home.
As a veteran-owned and locally operated business, we stand by our work with duty, honesty, and accountability. We prioritize maintenance and repair services for our existing Solar Power Pros customers as part of our long-term commitment to quality and reliability. When possible, we also help homeowners who were left without support after other solar companies went out of business—because we believe no one should be left behind on the path to energy independence. Choosing a trusted local company ensures your solar investment is protected for the long haul.
