Solar Incentives

Federal Investment Tax Credits

Using this federal credit, homeowners receive 30% of the cost of a solar system. This tax credit can also be combined with Colorado incentives to save even more money.

Net Metering

Colorado residents are eligible to enter into a program called ‘net metering’. With net metering, if your solar system produces more than you use you can sell that power to the grid.

Colorado Solar Sales Tax Exemption

In the state of Colorado, solar power equipment is exempt from sales tax, saving you money on your initial purchase.

Colorado Property Tax Exemption

Installing solar panels typically boosts the value of your home, leading to higher property taxes. However, Colorado residents who choose solar are allowed an exemption that ensures the increased property value from solar installation remains untaxed.

Low Interest, Zero Down Loans

The Colorado Residential Energy Upgrade Loan (RENU) allows you to borrow money for the installation of solar systems or battery storage with a low interest rate and no money down.
