Solar Panel Maintenance in Colorado Springs, Colorado
Why Colorado Springs Solar Systems Need Maintenance
Colorado Springs averages 55 inches of snow annually, 247 days of sunshine, frequent hail, and rapid temperature swings that stress solar components year-round. Dust from on going construction, high altitude UV exposure, and active wildlife make maintenance essential.
Many Colorado Springs homeowners had panels installed during the 2018–2022 solar boom. Several of those installers have since closed. If you can’t reach your installer, you’re not alone — that’s exactly what Solar Guard was built for.

Colorado Springs Solar Challenges
- Hail — El Paso County is in Colorado’s hail corridor. Panels take direct hits that cause micro-cracks and visible damage.
- Snow load — 55” average annual snowfall. Heavy spring storms bury panel for days.
- Pikes Peak dust — fine particulate from construction and natural erosion builds up faster than metro Denver.
- Wildlife — pigeons, starlings, and squirrels are aggressive nesters in Briargate, Stetson Hills, and Powers.


FAQs About Solar Service in Colorado Springs
What Colorado Springs homeowners ask us most often.
-
Are you actually based in the Springs?
Yes — shop in southeast Colorado Springs (78 Audubon Dr), and the Springs is our home market. Most of our work is here. Same address, same number, same crew year over year. -
Pigeons under my panels is a real Springs problem. Do you handle that?
It's one of our most frequent calls in the Springs. Bird pressure is heavy across most of the city — Briargate, Powers Corridor, Cordera, Stetson Hills, Banning Lewis, near any open space — and the gap under solar panels is prime nesting territory. We clear the nests, clean the droppings, and seal the array perimeter so they don't come back. -
What neighborhoods do you cover?
Whole metro: Briargate, Northgate, Cordera, Flying Horse, Stetson Hills, Banning Lewis Ranch, Powers Corridor, Broadmoor, Old Colorado City, Rockrimmon, Manitou Springs, Black Forest, Palmer Lake — plus everything in between. If you're in the Pikes Peak area with solar, we cover you. -
How fast can you get out here?
Most cleaning and inspection jobs schedule within 3-5 business days. Bird proofing and detach-and-reset get on-site for a free quote first, then we lock the work date. Repair calls and after-hail inspections move faster — usually same week. -
My panels survived the last hail storm but production is down. What now?
That's the micro-crack scenario, and it's exactly why we use thermal imaging on hail inspections — the dangerous damage hides under glass that looks intact. We confirm whether the production drop is hail-related (often covered by your insurance), soiling-related (cleaning fixes it), or hardware-related (repair). After Colorado Springs storms we run a lot of these inspections. -
My installer is out of business — Titan, Pink Energy, one of them. Can you still service?
Yes. We service every brand and every installation in the Springs, including orphaned systems. Your manufacturer warranties usually still hold; we pick up the service side and help with RMA paperwork.
