Business Details
We have been designing, installing, and repairing solar energy systems since 1975. We expanded our expertise to wind turbine installations in 2002, serving residential, commercial, and industrial clients. Our team works closely with Colorado Springs Utilities, Black Hills Energy, Mountain View Electric, Xcel Energy, and Sangre de Cristo Electric to maximize rebate opportunities. Our president, Lotus, brings 32 years of active solar contracting experience and twelve years of CoSEIA certification in solar electric and heating. We hold a solar F1 license from ElPaso County, a solar license from Teller County, and are licensed builders in ElPaso County with over three decades of construction experience.
In 2008 we generated over one million dollars in revenue primarily from solar electric system design, sales, and installation. In 2009 we installed Colorado Springs largest civilian solar electric system, a 62.4kW DC groundmounted array. We also completed a demonstration wind turbine project for Mountain View Electric Cooperative the same year. Our installations employ transparent financing options and comply with all local codes and utility standards. We prioritize thorough client education, providing multiple equipment proposals to ensure informed decisionmaking. Our commitment is to deliver reliable renewable energy solutions that lower energy costs and enhance environmental stewardship.

Services
Solar Installation
We design, sell, and install gridconnected solar electric systems for homes, businesses, and industrial facilities. Our solutions serve Colorado residents in Colorado Springs, Pueblo, Denver, Fairplay, and Canon City. Clients benefit from reduced energy bills, reliable renewable power, and compliance with local utility rebate programs.
Wind Installation
We engineer and install wind turbines for commercial and industrial applications across Colorado. Our wind services target businesses, farms, and municipalities seeking onsite renewable generation. Customers receive consistent power output, lower carbon footprints, and eligibility for significant state windenergy incentives.
Solar Heating
We install solar thermal collectors for hot water and space heating in residential projects. These systems are ideal for Colorado homeowners near Florissant and highaltitude locations. The result is substantial energy cost savings and reduced reliance on significant fossilfuel heating.

We started the process at the end of May and were told it would be 6-8 weeks because of jobs before us. They started in July and were the most conscientious workers of my landscaping that I have ever had. The process was longer I thought but the utility company was surprised we were on line in august. We have air conditioning and our aug/sept bill was $35.00. So pleased.

Called for information. The man who answered the phone sounded like he just woke up from a nap and had zero interest in assisting me with information. He then I got another phone call and put me on hold forever. I don't how this place will stay in business.

This is the most nightmarish experience of our life. We signed with this company in July we are now the 11 of November and our solar system which was finalized last week after months of mistakes in installation and 7 fixes as well as3 failed inspections from the Building department and the City of Colorado Springs has stopped working. We are told to be patient, no one has come to check and we already have put 2 complaints with the BBB and are now asking for mediation. We have never experienced such a dilettante, rude and incompetent company and wish to warn any potential customer of the nightmare awaiting them.

The president Lotus had no clue about solar it seemed. He kept changing the subject To talking about how I should believe in aliens! He definitely made my decision not to go with this company. Seemed I got more answers out of the foreman Richard. He was a nice guy just worked for a horrible company.

We had a great experience with RMW&S from start to finish. Just turned our system on, and everything is working exactly as promised-and the project came ahead of time and right on budget. Communication was great at every step- from Camilla, our sales rep, to the project foreman and electrician who did the installation. The panels are high quality, the company is local and has been around for years, and the 25-year warranties offered by RMW&S beat all of the 7 other companies we got bids from. Definitely recommend, and we're happy we went with them.

3 people in the office and no one knows what is going on. Every conversation was like a bad Abbott and Costello routine. I had to do the permit search for them. If it was a sitcom on Netflix it still wouldn't be funny. Is this even a real business? Go ANYWHERE but to them. Edit : I did ALL of the research after I was told there was no permit. Then the person who was supposed to contact me "mistyped" the permit number I provided and said my information was wrong until I proved them incorrect.
The idea that these very rude people want to try to scold me when I have witnesses to their lack of competence is laughable. Also it is pronounced turBINE a turBIN is a headress. I will keep good on my word and tell everyone I kniw how bad the customer service is.

We have an electrically heated home in Teller County at 9000 feet surrounded by national forest with great exposure to the sun and a roof design perfect for solar panels. We had four local companies compete for our business with Rocky Mountain Solar and Wind handily winning the RFP. Their staff is knowledgeable and proficient, while their American made products have not disappointed us in a 31-snowstorm season winter wonderland by nullifying a significant electrical bill via our rural electrical provider.
After 18 months of worry free service we are looking forward to our 33 panel system paying for itself within 9 years, possibly sooner should our winter storm numbers decrease slightly providing a remuneration from feeding the grid. Research and product selection are critical in this process, and to date we are pleased with Rocky Mountain Solar and Wind.
