Mile Hi Solar




Why Choose Mile Hi Solar
Mile Hi Solar is different than most solar companies that you will find in Colorado because we do a variety of different types of solar.  Many companies will do just PV, or just solar thermal.  We have expertise in all areas, to serve you better.  If you already know what you want, we can do it, whether it's an off grid PV system, a grid-tied PV system, fixing an old solar thermal system installed in the 80's, or putting in a new space heating system.   If you are not sure what sort of solar is best for your needs, we can evaluate all of the options to find what really fits you best, rather than pushing you towards just one option like some companies might because it's the only one they sell.  We have NABCEP (North American Board of Certified Energy Practitioners) certificiation in PV, and CoSEIA (Colorado Solar Energy Industry Association) certification in both PV and Solar Thermal.  In addition to showing that we know what we're doing, these certifications are also required in some areas to qualify for rebates and incentives.

Because of the diversity of our offerings, we are not dependent on any particular rebate or incentive programs, and will be around after other companies designed to capitalize on single incentive program have gone under due to changing situations.

We also pride ourselves in customer service... we're not geared towards production installation like some companies where your project becomes just another number in the quarterly profits spreadsheet.  We want to learn about your particular situation and develop a solution that fits your needs.
