Colorado Hail Storms: What Homeowners Need to Know About Solar Detach & Reset

Colorado Hail Storms: What Homeowners Need to Know About Solar Detach & Reset

If you’ve lived in Colorado for more than a minute, you know hail is as certain as summer sunsets. This year’s storms left a trail of battered roofs and worried homeowners—especially those with solar panel detach and reset issues. So, what should you do if your roof needs replacing but you already invested in solar? That’s where BriteStreet Solar comes in, with expertise you can trust and a process that actually protects your investment.

Hail Damage and Solar: The Challenge Facing Colorado Homeowners

The last round of hailstorms across Denver and the Front Range caused record numbers of roof replacements. If you have solar panels, you’re facing a critical decision: Who should detach, store, and reinstall your system so your warranty stays valid and your panels power up perfectly when the new roof is done?

Why “Solar Panel Detach and Reset” Isn’t a Job for Just Anyone

Let’s get straight to the point—using a company that isn’t fully certified can void your solar manufacturer’s warranty. That means you could be left footing the bill for future repairs, replacements, or even lost energy production. Many homeowners don’t realize this, and some roofers try to save money by bringing in cheap, uncertified labor to handle your panels.

Don’t risk it. The lowest bid may sound tempting, but it could cost you thousands down the line.

Good News: Insurance Has You Covered

Here’s something many homeowners don’t realize—your homeowner’s insurance will cover the full cost of professionally Detaching & Resetting your solar panels when your roof is being repaired or replaced due to hail damage. This service is always included as part of a valid storm or hail damage claim.

So, you get to choose the most qualified, certified solar team (BriteStreet!), and your insurance pays for the Detach & Reset—no out-of-pocket surprises. If you have questions about your insurance claim, our team can even help you talk to your adjuster and make sure every step is documented and covered.

Battery Storage for Solar in Colorado: Why Now Is the Smartest Time to Upgrade

Battery Storage for Solar in Colorado: Why Now Is the Smartest Time to Upgrade

By BriteStreet Solar—where local knowledge, neighborly service, and peace of mind come first.

Picture this:

It’s the middle of July. Thunderstorm rolling in over Denver, clouds flashing, the air humming with energy. Suddenly—bam—the lights flicker. Then, darkness. But not for you. Your fridge is still running. The AC’s still cool. Your neighbor’s texting you about another outage, but you just smile. Why? Because you planned ahead. Your home runs on solar with battery backup.

Welcome to Colorado’s new era of energy independence, friend.

<p>

For thousands of families in Denver, Boulder, and the Front Range, solar battery storage isn’t just “nice to have”—it’s smart. It means real savings, comfort, and control. It’s that easy breath you take when everyone else is stressed.

 

What Is Battery Storage (and Why Should You Care)?

Let’s keep it real—solar panels alone are great, but only work when the sun is up. And here in Colorado, storms, wildfires, and grid problems aren’t just “what if”—they’re when.

A battery changes the game.

– It stores extra solar power from your panels.

– You use it anytime: at night, during storms, or when rates skyrocket.

What does that mean for you?

– No more spoiled groceries or sitting in the dark

– Savings on your electric bill

– Less stress over what the utility company does next

Why 2025 Is the Year to Act (Seriously, Don’t Wait)

If you’re on the fence, let me talk to you like I would my own neighbor—now’s the time.

Here’s why:

1. Unprecedented Incentives—But Not Forever

– 30% federal solar tax credit (ITC)—still live, but Congress is actively talking about cutting it sooner than planned.

– Xcel Energy Colorado’s battery rebate—up to $2,500, but funds go fast.

– State property/sales tax breaks, plus local programs in some cities.

2. Rising Utility Rates & Time-of-Use Billing

– Utilities (like Xcel) are pushing “time-of-use” billing—peak rates hit when you get home from work.

– Batteries let you buy power when it’s cheapest and use it when rates spike.

 

 

 

3. Grid Instability: Wildfires, Weather, and Outages

– Colorado’s grid is shakier than ever.

– Battery storage is your safety net—keeps the lights (and Wi-Fi) on, protects your family, and powers the essentials.

4. The Clock Is Ticking

– Congress may reduce or end the 30% tax credit sooner than planned.

– Miss out, and you’ll pay more or get caught in the last-minute rush.

Which Battery System Fits Your Colorado Home?

 

Let’s keep it simple. Most folks here choose one of three trusted brands.

– Tesla Powerwall 2 & 3: Most popular, stacks for big homes, smooth app, whole-home backup.

– Enphase IQ Battery: Modular, works beautifully with Enphase solar, flexible capacity.

– LG Chem RESU & Sonnen: Premium, reliable, for special applications.

Want nerdy details? Most batteries use lithium-ion (NMC or LFP)—if you want super safety and cycle life, ask about LFP.

How Much Storage Do You Need?

This is where people get hung up, but it’s easier than you think:

– Average home: 13–20 kWh covers essentials for 1–2 days

– Big/family homes: Stack batteries for more backup

– Efficiency nerds: 5–10 kWh can cover key needs

Still unsure? That’s what we’re here for—just ask.

What’s It Cost? (And Is It Worth It?)

Let’s cut through the fog.

– Upfront installed price (Denver, 2025): $12,000–$16,000 for a standard 13–14 kWh battery (before incentives)

– After rebates/credits: Often $8,000–$9,500 total—sometimes less!

– Monthly savings: $700–$1,200 per year for most battery users

– Plus: No more ruined groceries, lost workdays, or surprise hotel bills during outages

– Bonus: Homes with solar + storage sell faster and for more in Colorado
