Namaste Solar

Read the whole page before you react to the letter, because Namaste Solar is the strongest documented company in our Denver research and the grade is a rule, not a verdict. The record first. Namaste Solar Electric Inc incorporated on February 2, 2005, converted to an employee owned cooperative on January 1, 2011, and has been a Certified B Corporation since January 2011. Its own numbers claim over 200 employees, over 60 co-owners, and more than 13,500 projects in 20 years. The independent number is better evidence: it is the only Denver company in this batch on the 2026 Solar Power World lists, ranked 187 nationally and 14 in Colorado with 7,440.76 kW installed in 2025. BBB shows exactly 0 complaints. Its FAQ says it only employs people who live in Colorado and only installs in Colorado, which is rare discipline in a market full of multi-state sales operations.

Licensing works the Colorado way here: no statewide solar contractor license exists, so the credential that counts is the DORA electrical contractor registration. Namaste holds EC.0007627, active, first issued September 11, 2008, with master electrician Jason David Sharpe as responsible individual since 2015; BBB lists Jason Sharpe as CEO, which matches. A long roster of registered apprentices is employed under the license, the state-side signature of a real field crew. One timing note: the current registration term expires September 30, 2026, a month after this data pull. Renewal is routine, but check the record before you sign anything after that date. Also, do not credit the company a BBB letter grade; its profile is not accredited and displayed no rating letter despite the clean complaint record.

Now the cap. The DORA open data rows show two board actions: case 2013-805, a Letter of Admonition effective March 13, 2013, and case 2017-5407, a Stipulation effective January 31, 2018 and completed that February. Both are resolved administrative electrical board actions, not consumer lawsuits; the only court case found naming the company had Namaste as the plaintiff, back in 2014. Our rubric still counts board discipline as government enforcement, and enforcement caps the grade at D regardless of everything above. The warranty is published and specific: a ten year residential workmanship warranty, panels with a 30 year production and 25 year product warranty, inverters 12 to 25 years, and on the commercial side a 2 year workmanship warranty with operations and maintenance included. If the two old board files do not bother you once you have asked about them, this is the most verifiable installer in the track.
