As of 2019, solar energy accounts for only 2% of the total energy consumed in the US. However, about 56% of all new power capacity additions in the country are solar. The US government has also signed 9.3 GW of utility-scale solar power agreements in the second quarter of 2021. All these developments truly point to a better world with clean energy. But how can one say that it will be a better and cleaner world? Read more!

Solar power is evergreen if that is the correct expression. No matter the season, or weather conditions, these are always functional, according to the experts. But there are a lot of myths surrounding the efficiency of solar panels. As these panels work on the sunlight, which is the strongest during summer, many people are under the assumption that they may not be so efficient during the winter months. But these people are not also at fault thinking that solar is most powerful during summer. Many advertisements and even companies spread the message constantly that the best time to go solar is during spring or summer. It is a wrong marketing message that confuses potential buyers. Hence. in this post, we are going to reveal the truth of solar power in Colorado or elsewhere, and its efficiency during winter. Scroll on! 

Colorado has about 63% utilities and 27% residential ongoing solar projects. The main reasons for such a low number of residential solar projects are unawareness and fear of the unknown. People are scared to get out of their comfort zones and try something new, even if it’s said to be a better choice. They are unaware of how solar functions, or how much it costs. Only if they can be made aware of these little things, the fear will be replaced by enthusiasm to try this effective and sustainable method to derive power. The entire world is taking on non-renewable sources of energy and replacing those with sustainable alternatives. Only if the people of Denver, Aurora, and other places in Colorado are made aware of the features, functions, and benefits of solar, they can prepare themselves for the much-needed change.

So here, we are ready to explain it all to you.

These events affected the roofing industry tremendously, shooting up the prices of raw materials and services. From the production of roof shingles and other raw materials to logistics and roofing services, prices are on a sharp hike and are expected to continue throughout the year. The cost of some metal products (steel and aluminum) in Denver, Fort Collins, Pueblo, and other places in Colorado is on a 25% hike, while that of metal accessories is up 35%, the highest spike in quite some time. Then there are the plates and fasteners, which although experience lesser spikes, still, a 10% hike is too much for some contractors.
