We are proud to recognize Photon Brothers as the Top Performing Contractor for the Colorado RENU Loan Program in Quarter 1 of 2025. Their outstanding dedication to bringing flexible financing to homeowners has earned them the title of RENU Contractor of the Quarter. With deep Colorado roots and a commitment to sustainability, Photon Brothers continues to make a powerful impact on residential and commercial solar adoption throughout the state.
A Colorado-Born Solar Vision
Founded in 2013 by brothers David and Matt, Photon Brothers was born out of a desire to bring high-quality, reliable solar energy solutions to Colorado. The fourth-generation Coloradan brothers were born in Castle Rock and returned to their home state with a mission to build something lasting. They launched Photon Brothers with a focus on Tier 1, high-quality equipment and exceptional customer experience.
From a small startup to a 110-employee, family-owned and operated company, Photon Brothers has expanded to offices across Colorado and California. Their Colorado headquarters is located in Denver, serving the Front Range including Boulder, Colorado Springs, Fort Collins, Aurora, Westminster, Lakewood and more.
Quality-Driven, Customer-Focused
Photon Brothers’ core expertise lies in solar energy systems using top-of-the-line panels and inverters. The company ensures long-term performance with a 25-year production guarantee for systems installed. As electric vehicles gain popularity, they’ve also expanded services to include EV charging stations and Tesla wall connectors.
“We want to put the customers first and give them a quality warranty and guarantee that we’re going to take care of them for 25 years,” said John Johnson, Director of Sales at Photon Brothers.
Investing in People and Planet
In addition to its presence in the solar industry, Photon Brothers is invested in the community. From their veterans program to organizing toy drives and volunteer events, the company believes in giving back.
Sustainability is at the heart of Photon Brothers’ operations. They make intentional choices to support American manufacturing, incorporate business practices that reduce waste, and host events like tree-planting and sustainability days.
