Top Tip for AK
Solar is exceptionally productive at high altitude where UV intensity is 25% higher than at sea level — Mountain West states consistently rank among the top solar ROI regions in the US.
Watch Out For
Lightning strike frequency in the Mountain West (particularly CO) is among the highest in the US — whole-home surge protection and proper grounding are essential.
