Peak Solar’s roots go back to 2004, when founder Tim Klco began designing and installing off-grid solar systems in Colorado. What started as a one-person operation working out of a 1984 Volkswagen Golf grew steadily as demand for solar expanded.

After moving to Salida in 2006, Tim began building the business locally. As Colorado’s renewable energy programs expanded, Peak Solar’s work shifted from primarily off-grid systems to include grid-tied solar, while continuing to specialize in off-grid and more complex energy systems.

The team grew along with the business. Josh Rogers joined Peak Solar in 2013, followed by Greg Baxter a few years later. In 2017, Peak Solar built its current Salida shop, providing a permanent home for a company that had previously operated out of bedrooms, garages, and rented spaces.

In 2026, Peak Solar entered its next chapter when longtime team members Greg and Josh took ownership of the company. Tim remains part of Peak Solar as its founder and a resource to the team.

Today, Peak Solar continues to design, install, and service solar and battery systems throughout south-central Colorado. More than 20 years after Tim’s first projects, we remain a locally owned contractor focused on quality work, practical solutions, and long-term service for our customers.
