Is Solar Really Affordable? Why the Right Installer Makes All the Difference

You’ve seen the ads. “Free solar panels!” “No money down!” — and probably thought, “Yeah, right.”
But here’s the truth: solar is more affordable than ever — especially when you work with a local, experienced contractor who knows how to structure the right system for your home, without the gimmicks.

At MD Roofing, we help Colorado Springs homeowners take advantage of solar energy the smart way — with transparent pricing, quality installs, and real savings.

🌞 Why Solar Isn’t Just for the Wealthy Anymore
​Thanks to federal tax credits, financing programs, and skyrocketing utility rates, solar has never been more accessible.
✅ 30% Federal Solar Tax Credit
✅ Long-term fixed energy costs
✅ Immediate utility savings
✅ Increased home value
✅ Potential monthly savings that exceed the loan payment

Most of our clients pay less for their solar loan than they were paying for electricity. And after the loan is paid off? Pure profit.

💸 How Reputable Solar Installers Save You Money (Long-Term)
Cheap solar companies might quote a low upfront price — but it comes at a cost:
❌ Undersized systems that don’t offset enough energy
❌ Unlicensed labor = voided warranties
❌ Cookie-cutter designs that don’t match your energy profile
❌ Surprise fees and bad financing
At MD Roofing, we partner with licensed, vetted solar installers who:
✅ Customize your system size based on real usage
✅ Install correctly the first time (avoiding roof damage)
✅ Offer clean financing options — no hidden fees
✅ Handle your roof AND your solar under one warranty

🏠 Solar + Roofing = Smart Home Upgrade
Did you know if your roof is older than 10–15 years, most solar companies won’t install over it?
Instead of hiring two different contractors, we do both — and can roll the roof replacement into the same solar financing package.
That means:
✅ One point of contact
✅ One clean install
✅ One payment
✅ Lower total cost

⚡ Financing Options That Make Solar Work for Real Families
We work with financing partners that specialize in low-interest solar loans, which means:

• No upfront cost
• Fixed payments
• Credit scores as low as 600
• Transferable systems if you sell your home

Example: A $25,000 solar system could cost as little as $99/month — and offset $150–$200/month in utility bills.

🧠 Red Flags to Watch for in Cheap Solar Offers
🚩 “Free Solar” – usually a lease that gives you no ownership or tax benefits
🚩 Out-of-state sales teams – no accountability after install
🚩 Poor coordination with roofing – leads to leaks or voided warranties
🚩 Systems that cover too little (or way too much) of your usage

Always ask:

• Who’s installing my system?
• Is my roof in good enough shape?
• What’s my actual energy offset and ROI?
