Sandbox Solar: To increase the deployment and advancement of self-sufficiency through energy integration
Design. Development. Installation. Maintenance.
Sandbox Solar is based out of beautiful Fort Collins, Colorado. We are fostering local community involvement with solar energy by providing opportunities for anyone to get involved in solar energy! Everyone can receive the environmental and financial benefits possible through renewable energy generation.
From homeowners and businesses, to community solar farm subscribers, it is possible for everyone to work towards energy independence.
Our company was started with one simple passion – harnessing the everlasting energy of the sun. The standard by which we’ve made that power available to our community has made Sandbox the best solar company in Fort Collins.
‘Sandbox’ represents our values of community, engineering, and the great outdoors — all while having fun.
It is our mission to advance solar energy and sustainable communities along the Front Range including Fort Collins, Greeley, and Denver.
