Solar installer review number one: Buglet Solar

  • March 10th, 2010 8:11 am MT

You read Tuesday's article and now you're ready to get a move on with a solar system.  With our close proximity to Boulder and Denver we have a lot of solar installers to choose from, but did you know we have excellent installers right here in Golden?  You probably buy locally on some level, and now's a great opportunity to support local business with a larger purchase.  The rest of this week I will be highlighting solar installers located right here in Golden, Colorado.

When I first came upon Buglet Solar, I was driving past their home and office on Iowa Street.  Their logo caught my eye as something distinctly not "big business."  Indeed, Bart Sheldrake and Whitney Painter are Golden residents and very dedicated to investing in their community. 

Since 2006, Bart and Whitney have been working with homeowners and businesses interested in using solar to reduce their impact on the environment.  Both locally and statewide they have dressed everything from small off-grid houses to larger buildings and businesses, including Golden owned and operated Woody's Pizza, with appropriately sized and well engineered solar systems.  From the free in-person site analysis all the way to the install cleanup and detailed help with getting the right incentive monies, Buglet Solar is a world class team located right here in our town.

Their business name, Buglet, was born out of Whitney's childhood nickname given by her mother and has evolved to symbolize something greater.  They truly take to heart the interconnectedness that makes this world thrive, all the way down to the little things likes bugs.  Without these vastly important underpinnings to our ecosystems, the bigger things would not survive.  This attitude of respect, gratitude and knowledge is also reflected in the way Bart and Whitney approach their business and their customers.  Customer Paul Aldretti sums it up best:

From the moment I first called Buglet, it seemed like more than a business arrangement -- Bart and Whitney were like my new best friends. They have provided superior technical service, helped with interconnection and billing issues involving Xcel Energy's Solar Rewards Program, and answered even my most trivial questions with excitement and enthusiasm.

    If you're looking for an installer, look no more. Bart and Whitney are friendly, professional, and very good at what they do. Woody's highly recommends these folks for all things PV.
