Denver solar power solutions made simple

Denver is growing fast. In fact, it’s one of the fastest-growing cities in the U.S. since 2010, and the growth doesn’t seem likely to slow down any time soon.

With a breathtaking view of the Rocky Mountains to the west of an ever-developing downtown metropolis, Colorado’s capital is a very special place. There’s plenty of hiking and camping, and adventure in the great outdoors just a short drive away.

Even the city dwellers in Denver are building a city with sustainability in mind. As real estate booms and both commercial and home properties are snatched up, more and more attention is paid to not just what is built, but how.

Cleaner transit methods such as bike rentals, light rail and commuter trains, and buses make getting around Denver easy. Businesses are built more often to meet green construction standards, and homeowners are either installing solar on new homes or new-to-you homes.

Incentives make installing solar in Denver even better

Local rebates

Holy Cross Energy Rebates One of the (many) great local utility rebates comes from Holy Cross Energy. The solar rebates are based on kilowatts (kW) for homeowners who decide to install solar in Denver.

Homeowners can be reimbursed $750 per kilowatt generated with their solar panels. This adds up to $4,500 in total that can be reimbursed from your solar purchase. It’s an incredible way to reduce upfront purchase costs for solar.
Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) From Xcel Energy When you install solar with Xcel Energy as your utility provider, they will actually make a monthly payment to you! This is because it’s an incentivized program. They need those Renewable Energy Credits (RECs) you’re generating with your new clean energy system to meet their REC goals.

You win, Xcel Energy wins, clean air wins.

State tax breaks and incentives

Renewable Energy Equipment Tax Exemption This state tax break eliminates any sales tax on your new rooftop solar system in Denver. You pay only the cost of the solar panels and installation itself; no sales tax goes to the state government.

Colorado supports clean air and your effort to contribute to it, so they’re giving you a break.
Property Tax Exemption Another way the state of Colorado will give you a break for going solar is by offering property tax exemption on the home where you install solar.

That means you get to add value to your home by getting solar panels, but you won’t have to pay that potential hike in taxes due to the increase in your home’s value. Not a bad deal at all.
Colorado mortgage payment help If you have recently purchased a home, or plan to soon, you can get $750 to $3000 to help pay your mortgage from the state of Colorado for installing solar. You just need to install within 120 days of purchasing the house and improve your Home Energy Rating System Index.
Denver net metering Earn credits in your solar bank with net metering in Colorado through Xcel Energy. You simply let the sun shine down on your new solar panels, send any extra solar power you don’t use to the grid, and earn credits to reduce future energy bills.

Federal ITC for Denver

Lastly, qualifying Denver homeowners—who have purchased their solar energy system—may eligible for a federal income tax credit. This incredible tax break can reduce the cost of your spolar energy system.
