Colorado Homes Upgrade to Solar Power
With its forward thinking energy policy and established rebate program, Colorado is a great state for solar.
Switching to solar power in Colorado can make a big difference. The majority of the state's power comes from burning coal. But, by switching to clean solar energy, homeowners can cut the use of fossil fuels and make a difference.
It's easier than ever to make the switch to solar power in Colorado. With Sunrun solar leasing, homeowners can skip the high upfront cost of purchasing panels, and simply pay monthly for their solar electricity. It's a new kind of home solar, where you pay for power, instead of panels.
