Curtis of Solarado to the rescue
Our ground mount solar panel array was accidentally placed too close to our property line boundaries when our house was being built. I e-mailed Solarado Energy and explained to them my problem. Curtis answered my e-mail by calling me and said he could move the solar array. He came and explained to us step by step how he would move the array. Curtis is very knowledgeable, dependable and trustworthy. He came as often as he could as he had a full priority list at the time. I highly recommend Solarado Energy to accomplish your solar needs. Thank you Curtis.

Solarado Energy Does Great Work Again!
Solarado Energy came back for charge controller upgrades and did an excellent job as before. They have been here 4 times doing work (2 installs, 1 battery change, and 1 upgrade) since 2011 and always do an outstanding job.

Knowledgeable and professional installer
Curtis with Eco Depot (also known as Solarado Energy) is very knowledgeable about Solar and has lots of experience. He installed a 16 panel system (4.5 kWp) at the end of 2015. It was been producing energy flawlessly since it was commissioned. I chose to work with Curtis after reviewing 3 other bids, and am pleased with the choice. He helped us size the system and keep the installation as reasonable and cost-effective as possible. I recommend him and would use him again for any expansion.

Solorado (Eco Depot USA) PV Solar System
Curtis was great to work with during the planning and installation of our 7 kw ground mount solar system. We talked with three other solar contractors and chose to go with Curtis because he listened to our wants and proposed a quality system at a very competitive price. Some of the other contractors were not interested in doing pole mounts located 200 feet from our home. They only wanted to do roof mounts. Another factor was that we wanted a whole house 20 KW generator integrated into the solar system. Curtis was the only contractor that was willing to include the generator. The others wanted us to buy the generator and find someone else to install it. Another impressive thing about Curtis was that he did everything himself along with assisitance from a helper. He dug out and set the forms for the generator pad, poured the pad and finished the concrete. He cleared the path from the house to the site, rented the back hoe and dug the trench to the site, dug the holes for the poles and assembled the entire solar arrays himself. And he wired the whole system. He did not have to hire others. Curtis not only knows the renewable energy business, he is very skilled and resourceful in all building techniques.

great advise and work
Curtis understood what we were looking for (better than myself) and delivered a great system for our seasonal cabin. Not only solar, but added a cistern, pump and shed to create a great system for our small cabin.

Gladly Recommend Eco Depot USA 11-18-14
We will gladly recommend Curtis to anyone seeking ground up, repair or total reconstruction of solar systems. Ours was a total reconstruction and Curtis was able to define which components could remain and which had to be replaced/upgraded. He did this in 3 separate bids, which made tracking each set of components easy and understandable. Our totally off grid home (built by do-it-yourselfer) took time to accomplish, but the results that we are now enjoying were well worth the wait. Curtis is very knowledgable and took the time to explain how our systems works once he was done.<br />We will definitely contact Curtis again for any additional work we might need in the future.<br /><br />Jeff and Kelley<br />Blanca, Colorado

Solid, Very Experienced Installer of Quality Systems
After contacting several local solar installers, we selected Curtis at Eco Depot, mostly due to his reasonable bid and that he would do the thermal we wanted.<br /><br />Every component of the installed systems is top-notch, as is the quality of installation. For our installation, we were most concerned about the thermal system, mostly due to the complexity and difficulty of installation. Curtis's knowledge of thermal solar systems put us at ease, and even more so during actual installation. While other installers we talked with contract out their thermal systems to mostly local plumbers, Curtis designed and installed this part himself (along with the PV side). It now works flawlessly.<br /><br />Curtis is easy to work with and will spend the time during and after installation to ensure the customer can manage and monitor the operation of the systems. His philosophy is to maintain a small company with only a couple of employees. This approach takes longer to install systems, but facilitates more customized systems tailored to individual customer needs and I think a more personal relationship between the installer and customer.<br /><br />He also managed to hit his estimates to the penny, even with unforeseen difficulties during the installation process. We asked for several extras during the project, which he accommodated for us at very reasonable cost.<br /><br />I can highly recommend Curtis at Eco Depot (now Solarado Energy) to others wanting to install solar systems in the vicinity. He clearly puts customers first.
