Cooler Planet Solar Power Directory

Innovative Energy is a full service renewable energy company established in 1992. They specialize in engineering, designing and installing renewable energy systems in Colorado's high country. Their services include solar photovoltaic (PV) and wind power systems, energy conservation programs, renewable energy consultation, and passive solar design. They provide project management and customer service for each installation and facilitate system incentives.

They began installing solar PV and wind power systems over 16 years ago. They have over 300 systems in operation and have installed over 400 kW of renewable energy generation. Each system has been custom designed to meet the needs of the owners, and they have established relationships that last a lifetime. System owner's service calls are handled within 24 hours. They often return to customers to provide them with technology upgrades, system expansions, and system performance evaluations.

Learning from their experiences over the years, they understand what works best and what does not in their climate. They have grown with their original values strongly in place: commitment to client education, process efficiency, and high production energy systems. They are committed to meeting the needs of their customers and making the process to incorporate renewable energy technologies into their lives as simple as possible. Education during the design and installation process is a key component. Whether working with residential homes, commercial buildings, or in the planning phase of a project, they keep the customer's best interests in mind and offer them the most up to date decision making tools. They promote and support the spirit that everyone is entitled to clean, renewable energy.

Innovative Energy provides an individualized system design process for each project. They manage the permitting process, manage any applicable rebates (in Xcel Energy territory, they will carry the rebate to reduce the upfront system costs), and provide any necessary materials for design review boards and project approval. Innovative Energy offers energy conservation services as well as the renewable energy system design, installation, and service. They also have renewable energy consulting services and sustainability consulting for new construction, residential, commercial, government, and nonprofit organizations.
