Photon Brothers

When fourth-generation Coloradans David and Matt Raichart founded Photon Brothers in 2013, they saw an opportunity to bring something better to the solar industry: smarter system design, higher-quality installations, and a customer experience built on education rather than pressure. What began as a solar installer in Denver has grown into a multi-state energy company serving homeowners throughout Colorado and California’s Central Coast, with offices in Denver, Pueblo, Colorado Springs, and San Luis Obispo. In 2014, the company earned recognition as SunPower Dealer of the Year for the Mountain West region, a testament to their early commitment to quality and service. Today, Photon Brothers designs and installs complete home energy systems that pair solar panels with Tesla Powerwall battery storage and roofing solutions, giving homeowners greater control over their energy costs and reliable backup power during outages. As a Tesla Premier Certified Installer, the company has demonstrated a proven track record of installing advanced energy systems built for real-world performance. Every project is handled entirely by their in-house team of NABCEP-certified solar professionals and licensed master electricians—no outsourcing, no subcontractors. This approach ensures consistent quality from the initial consultation through installation and long-term service. Colorado homeowners along the Front Range, from Fort Collins and Boulder down to Colorado Springs and Pueblo, have access to solar installation designed for the state’s variable climate and energy needs. In California, Photon Brothers serves the Central Coast including San Luis Obispo, Santa Barbara, Monterey, and Ventura counties, where abundant sunshine makes solar energy a particularly smart investment. The company maintains an A+ rating with the Better Business Bureau and has earned strong reviews across multiple platforms, with customers consistently noting the professionalism of the installation crews and the responsiveness of the service team. Whether it’s rooftop solar, ground-mounted systems, or battery backup for full-home resilience, Photon Brothers takes a custom approach to every project. Their solar engineers design around each home’s roof configuration, energy usage patterns, and long-term goals, using premium panels from manufacturers like REC, Silfab, Q-Cell, and Solaria. For homeowners interested in battery storage, the company installs Tesla Powerwall systems that seamlessly integrate with solar panels to store excess energy for use during peak hours or power outages. Photon Brothers also offers EV charger installation, solar panel maintenance and repair, and detach-and-reset services for homeowners who need panels removed for reroofing. The brothers’ approach remains rooted in transparency and education, giving homeowners the information they need to make confident decisions about their energy future on their own timeline.
