Colorado Solar For Your Home

If just 10% of Colorado single-family homes went solar, over 30,000 jobs would be created.

With its forward thinking energy policy and great Colorado solar rebates, Colorado is a great place to get home solar. The majority of the state’s electricity comes from burning coal, which is hugely harmful to the local environment. Waste from coal mining can lead to a multitude of health issues, including severe nervous system problems, lung cancer, chronic stomach problems, and higher death rates. But by choosing to go solar in Colorado, homeowners can help cut this coal waste and pollution: "Much of the electricity we use here is coal-powered,” as one SunRun homeowner in Boulder explained, "I've always wanted solar. I want to be a good steward."

Colorado Solar Rebates 

Colorado has some of the best local incentives for home solar power in the country. Aquila’s Colorado solar rebate is $2.00/watt for systems up to 10kW; Xcel Energy offers Colorado solar homeowners up to $3.50/watt for systems up to 10kW through their Solar Rewards program. In addition, both utilities offer an additional renewable energy (REC) credit. For customers outside of Excel and Aquila areas, the Governor’s office sets aside $550,000 for 11 rebate programs. Colorado solar rebates are higher than most other states and usually cover 40-45% of the cost of the home solar panels. The state is getting serious about renewable energy, and this means that getting home solar in Colorado with SunRun is not only environmentally conscious, but also financially smart. In addition to these rebates, there is a 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit.
