Southard Solar & Construction

Southard Solar & Construction is a locally owned and operated solar energy contractor based in Denver, Colorado. Established in 2005 by Douglas Southard—a Boulder native—the company has built a reputation for delivering professional project implementation across Northern Colorado and Southern Wyoming. Their primary focus is on residential rooftop photovoltaic (PV) installations but they also serve commercial clients.
The company offers comprehensive services including sales, custom system design, engineering, installation of both grid-tied and off-grid PV systems (with or without battery backup), as well as ongoing service support. Southard Solar emphasizes affordability while maintaining quality standards by working with reputable equipment suppliers such as Hanwha Q Cells for panels and Enphase/SMA/OutBack Power for inverter technology.
With nearly two decades of experience serving the Front Range region—including Boulder County—they are known for their customer-focused approach: handling permitting processes, coordinating insurance claims when needed (such as after hail damage), providing extended warranties post-installation work, and offering competitive pricing options to make clean energy accessible to homeowners seeking to reduce utility bills through green power generation.
