Solar Panel Installation in Arvada, CO
Arvada is one of the fastest-growing solar markets in Jefferson County — and for good reason. High electric bills, strong sun exposure, large residential lots, and a community of homeowners who are ready to stop renting their electricity from Xcel Energy.
Cascade Solar & Electric has been installing solar for Arvada homeowners since 2010. We handle the full scope: system design, Jefferson County permitting, installation, Xcel interconnection, and inspection. No handoffs, no third-party subcontractors.
Arvada's solar opportunity:
Arvada has a wide variety of housing stock — from mid-century ranch homes in the Olde Town area to newer builds in Leyden Rock and Candelas. What they share: excellent solar potential. Jefferson County's permitting process is well-established, Xcel Energy's net metering program is strong, and Arvada homeowners typically see payback periods in the 6–9 year range depending on system size and current usage.
Solar + Electrical: the complete package:
One of the most common issues in older Arvada neighborhoods is underpowered electrical panels. A 100-amp service panel — standard in homes from the 60s through 80s — isn't designed for the combined load of solar, an EV charger, and modern appliances. Most solar companies will tell you this is an "electrician problem" and send you elsewhere.
Cascade handles it all. We're a licensed electrical contractor, not just a solar installer. Panel upgrades, subpanel additions, EV charger installation, and solar — all done by our in-house crew, all on the same project timeline. It's genuinely simpler.
Battery backup for Arvada:
Interested in keeping your lights on during outages? Cascade installs the Tesla Powerwall — paired with your solar system, it stores energy for use at night and during grid interruptions. With the Front Range seeing more frequent extreme weather, backup power is moving from "nice to have" to essential.
ESA program — 30% savings applied up front:
With the federal tax credit expired, Cascade offers the Energy Smart Colorado ESA program. Qualified homeowners receive 30% off system cost at the point of sale — no tax filing, no reimbursement process, no waiting.
