Sunlight is free.Your roof shouldbe collecting it.
Sunstead designs, installs and monitors solar panels, home batteries and EV chargers for homes across the Colorado Front Range. One local crew from the first roof measurement to the last inspection.
One crew, from the first roof measurement to the last inspection.
No sales reps, no subcontractors, no call center. The people who measure your roof are the people who put the panels on it and the people who answer the phone afterwards.
Design around your real bill
We measure the roof with a drone, check the shade hour by hour and size the system around twelve months of your actual usage, not a neighborhood average.
01Permits and paperwork, filed by us
Utility application, city permit, HOA letter and the federal tax credit forms. You sign twice. We handle the rest.
02Installed in a day
Our own electricians and roofers arrive at 7 am. Most homes are finished and cleaned up before dinner, with the conduit hidden and the attic sealed.
03Monitored for life
Every panel reports to our office. If production drops, we call you before you notice, and the first ten years of cleaning and checks are on us.

What an install day looks like.
Three ways to use your own sunlight.
Start with panels. Add a battery when you want the lights to stay on through an outage. Add a charger when the car arrives. Each piece is designed to work with the next.
Solar panels
Black-on-black 400 W panels on rail-less mounts, engineered for Front Range hail and wind. No visible conduit.
Panels and mounting
Battery storage
13.5 kWh per unit, stackable. Backup kicks in within 20 milliseconds, so the fridge, the furnace and the wifi never notice.
Batteries and backup
EV charging
Level 2 chargers in the garage or on a driveway pedestal, scheduled to fill the car with the midday surplus from your own roof.

Numbers are from the first full year of production, read from the same monitoring you will have.
What would your roof make?
Move the slider to your monthly bill. The numbers update as you go. Your quote replaces them with a drone survey and twelve months of real usage.

Why homeowners pick a local crew.

Monitoring included for life
Panel-level data in your app and in our office. We see a dip the same day you would.
A phone number, not a ticket
Call the office and a person who knows your roof picks up. Weekdays 8 to 6, Saturdays until 1.
What neighbors say.
They told us the neighbor's cottonwood would cost two panels of output in the afternoon, so they moved the layout to the west slope. Nobody else even mentioned the tree.
Install took one day. The inspector came Tuesday, the utility turned it on Thursday, and the app was showing numbers before I got home from work.
Our July bill was eleven dollars. The battery carries us through the evening and we have not thought about the outages that used to hit every summer.
