This is a great company. I can understand why interfacing with the owner Lotus can be a little bumpy, but after going through the entire process of having my panels removed and replaced to facilitate roof repair, I'm very pleased with their thoroughness, kindness, affordability and efficiency. Due to outdated Right Wing regulations and laws, solar is mired in red tape, out of state companies, punitive and restrictive loans etc, but Rocky Mountain Solar made dealing with this or avoiding these pitfalls very easy. Joe, the primary installer is an incredible guy. I highly recommend this company over any out of state solar company that ignores my "no soliciting" sign and knocks on my door to sell me a loan that comes with solar panels. Thank you Joe!

Excellent company I recommend to friends and neighbors

Rocky Mountain Solar has been a great partner and I’d gladly recommend them to any of my friends or neighbors. I am happy and would use them again. I did 3 bids with Rocky Mountain being the most responsive and willing to explain more of the basics to me from the beginning. Their price was competitive but I opted for their solution that included a slightly better solar panel that had better guaranteed capability over a few decades (it degraded much less than others over time). The work was done well, they communicated well, the workers were respectful and kept the area clean. They took care of my rebate work with the local utility and all permits. I had one main contact to work with thru the process and she was great to work with (excellent job Robin) The tool they have for me to watch my solar production is great – simple to see on my phone or a computer. I had one hiccup after the system was up, due to unique power in my older part of the city, and they were very responsive and worked quickly with me to solve the issue.

Rocky Mountain Solar came through ...

I initially wrote a bad review on Dec 12, 2018. Since then, Rocky Mountains Solar (RMS) has come through to help. After the installation was completed (in time for end of year), there was a "Bomb Cyclone" storm that left 5 of my 28 solar panels under performing (75%). They "went to bat" for me and got the panels replaced and reinstalled. Great job! Thank you RMS!

Built Great ground mount system

RMSW installed my system in 2015. They were the only company that showed any interest in installing a ground mount system. This system is on the eastern plains and has survived some pretty severe weather. During the bomb cyclone event of March 2019 the system with stood sustained winds of 70MPH and a wind gust of 86MPH at the height of the storm. Not one solar panel was damaged. I was expecting to see ( once the storm ended ) solar panels all over the place. The storm did knock out two optimizers. One call to RMSW and a knowledgeable repairman was out in a day. They had to order the optimizers which were still under warrantee and within two weeks my 28 panel system was running at full speed ahead. Thanks Lotus and Richard for your prompt courteous service.

small solar intallation

Rocky Mountain Solar and Wind installed a small 8 panel system on our roof a couple years ago. They worked well with the city utility company, answered all questions, and we're happy with our system. When there was a problem with the inverter (a manufacturer's problem, not RMSW's problem), they dealt with the manufacturer and replaced the broken part for free and swiftly. Nice local company.

Great solar system after 10 years

We are very pleased with the quality and service of Rocky Mountain Solar. We like that the system is durable and not needed any repaairs. Rocky Mountain Solar did a good job installing and later explaining to us how the system works best.

Very impressed with our Solar System

This is the second time we have worked with Rocky Mountain Solar in 18 years and both times proved to be wise decisions! Our solar system has not only met, but exceeded even RMS's expectations. Our system produces 17% more than projected. We have seen a 78% degrees in the cost of our electricity over the past 5.5 yrs. This system requires zero maintenance, we have never had an issue in all these years. As long as we sweep off the snow, this system works like a charm.

Use them !

Rocky Mountain Solar and Wind installed my roof top system in late 2015. I live in Divide, Colorado. Additionally I should note that I am a building contractor and, therefore, I know subcontractors. I am beyond satisfied with them. They did EVERYTHING they said they were going to do. This was a very tough time for my family (my wife was dying of cancer) and they were respectful and courteous. My system works perfectly. I live in a net-metering state and the utility company actually owes me money ! Use them !

My Solar Installation

Installation was efficient and trouble free. Installers were meticulous and thorough. System has been supplying all of my electrical needs including HVAC heat pump with a significant surplus. If I could afford the batteries I could probably disconnect from the grid.

very professional from sales to installation to completion. No problems. If no rebate was offered by utilities we would not have been able to afford the system. Our intent was not to `make` money or even to make system affordable. We do realize about $50.00 a month savings for electrical service. We were more concerned about `carbon footprint.`

Everyone connected with Rocky Mountain Solar was professional, knew what they were doing, showed me the roof PV design and explained the need for the number of panels and worked well with Colorado Springs utilities. In fact, Rocky Mountain Solar is the only solar company the utilities would recommend.

We strongly recommend Rocky Mountain Solar, Inc. as contractors for the installation of any Solor Electric (PV) system.

Janet Higley

Reviewed on Jan 11, 2007

Federal tax credits and utilities rebates made installation of the PV system worthwhile for us. Although we had been interested for some time, based on the environmental benefits and reduced dependence on fossil fuels, cost of such a system without incentives was prohibitive. We are very pleased with the work performed and the personnel at Rocky Mountain Solar.

Installation delayed for short time due to city utilities inspections. Lotus demands high-quality installation and was there to see that quality work continued.

We are very excited about what we are doing for the environment. If you are making a strictly financial decision, this isn`t for you BUT what is truly a motivating factor is how we are helping the world. The installation was seamless and the professionals at Rocky Mountain Solar are prime examples of how all companies should deliver. Lastly, we like it so much that we are planning on building a second `off the grid` home in Winter Park where RMS will install another system for our family. Thank you so much!
