Meet Our Solar Team

Meet the Team Behind One of Denver’s Top Solar Roofing Companies

At Elite Roofing & Solar, our motto since our founding has been “Roofing Done Right.” As we moved into the solar installation industry, our goal was to carry that core value over into the solar side of our company. By keeping that motto central, we’ve established ourselves as one of Denver’s top solar roofing companies—and it’s all thanks to the team that makes it happen every day.

Today, we’re sharing more info about our solar team and their process for roof-mounted solar installation. As homeowners research solar roofing companies, we hope you’ll take some time to get to know the team behind our services!

Meet Our Solar Team

Elite Roofing & Solar is one of the top solar roofing teams serving all of Denver and the Front Range. We couldn’t deliver such high-quality service without an amazing team! Let’s get to know your solar experts

Robert Brownlee, Director of Solar Operations

As Director of Solar Operations, Robert is the man behind everything in our solar department. He manages all facets of this arm of the business, including overseeing project management, sales, and installation teams. We chose him as director given his wealth of experience—he got his start on solar projects 20 years ago and has experience in home construction as well.

Robert is committed to building our solar program and was drawn to Elite Roofing & Solar by our company’s core values of Faith, Family, and Integrity. In his free time, he makes the most of outdoor living in Colorado, whether it’s riding ATVs, hiking, or visiting parks with his family.

Larry O’Farrell, Master Electrician

Many solar roofing companies only sell solar, as they don’t have a master electrician on staff. But we do! Larry O’Farrell is behind all of our electrical needs here at Elite Roofing & Solar, installing all equipment as well as helping out with bidding, estimating, planning, installing, troubleshooting, and more.

Larry has been in the electrical contracting industry for 30 years, and he’s always been driven by an interest in helping others solve problems. He was drawn to Elite Roofing & Solar by our commitment to integrity and safety, along with our low-pressure sales approach. When Larry isn’t working his hobbies include traveling, perfecting his golf swing, and creating content on YouTube and Twitch.

David Tucker, Solar Technician

David joined the Elite Roofing & Solar team in 2024 after entering the solar industry back in 2019. As a solar technician, David’s responsibilities include solar detaches and resets, all while providing top-notch customer service.

David was drawn to this industry by the prospect of working outdoors and seeing new sights—though he says the heights and steep pitches are still something he’s getting used to. When he isn’t conquering his fears and delivering excellence in solar installations, David enjoys spending time outdoors with his three dogs, as well as fishing, hiking, and riding his ATV.

Dylan Smelley, Solar Technician

With 6 years in the contracting industry, Dylan has gained a lot of experience in various trades, entering the solar industry in 2021 before joining the Elite Roofing & Solar team in 2024. For Dylan, he most enjoys working with his hands, something that has been passed down to him from generation to generation.

As a solar technician, Dylan’s focus is providing smooth and efficient installation and removal services for our customers, and he’s always working to execute his job perfectly. When he isn’t perfecting his installation technique, Dylan spends his days off going to church, spending time with his family, and riding around on his ATV or dirt bike.

Our Process: How We Make Solar Happen

Another thing that sets us apart from other solar roofing companies is our straightforward installation process. Our mission is to provide the highest level of customer service, and we follow a six-step process for all solar projects, ensuring we meet our customers’ financial and environmental goals.

Our solar team is committed to quality, efficiency, and ensuring our customers get exactly what they need. Here’s what the process looks like when you choose our team for your solar installation:

  1. Initial Consultation: We begin by evaluating the customer’s needs and providing a cost-effective solar solution.
  2. Site Survey: Our electrician visits your home or business to collect necessary information and photos for our Structural and Electrical engineers.
  3. Engineering Design: Our engineering team creates a detailed plan, including system layout and requirements from the utility and AHJ (Authority Having Jurisdiction).
  4. Permitting & Interconnection: We use the plan to apply for interconnection with the utility, ensuring the system will work seamlessly with your utilities. Simultaneously, we apply for the necessary building and electrical permits from your city or jurisdiction.
  5. System Installation: After approvals, we begin the installation, which typically takes just one day to complete, despite the scale of the project.
  6. Inspections & Utility Testing: After installation, we schedule inspections with your city/jurisdiction and have the system tested by your utility provider. Once completed, you can start enjoying your own clean, reliable energy.
