Rural Solar Restoration

What Rural Solar Restoration does

Rural Solar Restoration, LLC is a privately held, Colorado-based specialty contractor founded in 2020 that delivers commercial and utility-scale solar repair, restoration, repowering, decommissioning, and severe-weather remediation services across the continental United States. The company organizes its offering into four service categories: System Repowering (module replacement, inverter and electronics repair, racking repair), Special Projects (module removal and reinstallation, decommissioning, EPC remediation, connector replacement and wire management), Severe Weather Repair (hail, high wind, flood, fire), and Feasibility Assessments (aerial drone assessments, site inspections, system commissioning). Its technical toolkit centers on aerial drone thermal imaging for non-destructive defect detection, combined with codified commissioning protocols (IV curve tracing, point-to-point grounding inspections, Meggering, polarity, VOC, and torque checks) that the company uses to guarantee 100% manufacturer-spec functionality.

The company's core customers are large commercial solar asset owners, operations and maintenance providers (which it supports as a specialist subcontractor), commercial property owners with rooftop arrays, and solar asset investors requiring technical due diligence. Rural Solar Restoration monetizes through project-based professional services fees, with all pricing quoted per engagement via phone or website inquiry rather than published rate cards. Its go-to-market relies on enterprise field sales supplemented by phone-based inside sales and inbound quote requests, with crews mobilized from Colorado to project sites nationwide, particularly in the Mountain West, Midwest, Southeast, and Mid-Atlantic regions. The firm has built a differentiating nationwide equipment supplier network that enables rapid sourcing of replacement parts, including hard-to-find components for defunct inverter manufacturers, and has assembled an end-of-life asset disposition ecosystem spanning equipment resellers, refurbishing organizations, and certified recycling partners. As of 2025 the company remains a private LLC with no disclosed institutional funding, no public revenue figures, and headcount bounded at 11-50 employees.
