Getting solar quotes in Colorado
In Colorado, sun is rarely the problem. Roof condition, hail and your utility's rules are the bigger questions.
Before comparing quotes, know which utility sends your bill. Xcel Energy, Black Hills Energy, and many municipal utilities and co-ops each set their own rates and rules for homes with solar, overseen by the Colorado Public Utilities Commission.
What changes a solar quote in Colorado
Colorado has net metering for customers of its investor-owned utilities, and many co-ops and municipal utilities offer their own versions.
Many Colorado towns are served by municipal utilities or co-ops rather than Xcel Energy, and each sets its own rules for solar.
Checking a solar provider in Colorado
- Colorado's State Electrical Board, part of the Department of Regulatory Agencies (DORA), licenses electricians and electrical contractors.
- Ask for proof of insurance, including liability and workers' compensation for the crew on your roof.
- Complaints about a utility's solar rules go to the Colorado Public Utilities Commission. Complaints about a contractor or a sales practice go to the state attorney general's consumer protection office.
- Get the total price, system size, equipment and expected yearly production in writing before you sign.
Comparing quotes, in short
- Compare price per watt (total price divided by system size), not just the monthly payment.
- Check the yearly production estimate and the shade and usage assumptions behind it.
- Compare equipment, warranties, and who will actually do the installation.
- For loans, compare rate, term and fees. For leases and PPAs, read the escalator and transfer terms.
- Walk away from pressure to sign on the spot, or from any pitch that says solar costs nothing.
