What solar incentives are available in Colorado?
As a homeowner in Colorado, you have access to several different tax incentives that make solar panels more affordable. Solar incentives are available at both the federal and state levels to help you save thousands on your investment in solar energy.
Solar Calculator is here to help you take the next step in your transition to renewable energy. Below, we’ll discuss some of the different ways you can make solar more affordable.
Federal solar incentives
As part of the Inflation Reduction Act of 2022, congress passed several clean energy provisions to reduce energy costs. Among those provisions was an extension and upgrade of the Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC).
Federal Investment Tax Credit
The Federal ITC allows you to claim 30% of your total equipment and installation costs on your federal taxes. There is no minimum or maximum amount you can claim and it includes equipment, installation, permitting, and even battery storage.
The ITC will remain at 30% until December 31, 2032. After that it will be reduced to 26% until December 31, 2033, then to 22% the following year. The ITC is currently set to disappear in 2035 unless it is renewed.
Who is eligible for the Federal ITC?
Most homeowners will qualify for the Federal ITC, but not all. You must meet the following criteria to claim your 30% tax credit:
The Federal ITC will also cover the following expenses:
Homeowners save around $10,000 on average with the Federal ITC. But that number can be higher or lower depending on your total expenses.
How to claim the Federal ITC
Claiming your Federal ITC couldn’t be easier. All you have to do is fill out IRS form 5695 and submit it with your tax return. You can consult with a tax professional for more assistance.
Local solar incentives
Who’s eligible : Commercial, Industrial, Local Government, Nonprofit, Residential, Schools, State Government, Low Income Residential, Institutional
How to apply : In December 2005 the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) adopted standards for net metering and interconnection, as required by Amendment 37, a renewable energy ballot initiative approved by Colorado voters in November 2004. Customer-generators are eligible for net metering in Colorado for retail renewable distributed generation. The following sections describe the rules that apply to investor-owned utilities (IOUs), with the last section detailing net metering for municipal utilities and electric cooperatives. All utilities subject to the below net metering rules are required to provide net metering service at non-discriminatory rates to customer-generators. Systems sized up to 200% of the customer's annual average consumption that generate electricity using qualifying renewable energy resources are eligible for net metering in IOU service territories. If a customer-generator does not own a single bi-directional meter, then the utility must provide one free of charge. Systems over 10 kilowatts (kW) in capacity require a second meter to measure the output for the counting of renewable energy credits (RECs). S.B. 18-009, passed in March 2018, establishes that solar-plus-storage systems are eligible for net metering. In 2021, S.B. 261 established all renewable energy storage systems, i.e. energy storage that stores electricity from renewable sources, are eligible. Net Excess Generation Any customer's net excess generation (NEG) in a given month is applied as a kilowatt-hour (kWh) credit to the customer's next bill, with each kWh credit of NEG off-setting 1 kWh of electricity consumption in a future month. Excess credits are rolled over indefinitely, until the customer terminates service; upon termination, all excess credits are lost. At the end of each calendar year, a customer can choose to cash in their excess credits and be reimbursed at the utility's average hourly incremental cost over that calendar year. At the end of a calendar year or upon termination of service, a customer can donate any excess credits to a qualified third-party administrator, who will then use the credits to provide low-income energy assistance and bill reductions. Utilities have the right to limit the total amount of rolled over credits, but the limit cannot be less than 100% of the customer's reasonably expected average annual consumption. Any excess generation above the limit must be reimbursed at the utility's average hourly incremental cost over the most recent 12-month period. Renewable Energy Credits The customer-generator retains ownership of any RECs associated with the energy generated by the customer-generator’s system. A utility may acquire the RECs by purchasing them from the customer-generator through a standard offer. All contracts for RECs for solar electric technologies located on site at customer facilities are required to have a minimum term of 20 years if the system is under 100 kW. Meter Aggregation A single customer with multiple meters located on contiguous property may elect to have their generator offset the load measured at more than one meter, a policy commonly referred to as “meter aggregation.” A customer who wants to aggregate their meters under net metering must give the utility a 30-day notice and specify the order in which they want their kWh credits applied to the multiple meters. All affected meters must be on the same rate schedule. In 2021, S.B. 261 allowed master meter operators, like multi-family housing unit owners, to supply distributed generation electricity to customers. Off-Site Net Metering 2021's S.B. 261 also allowed off-site net metering. Generation facilities located on noncontiguous properties owned or leased by a customer are eligible for net metering, as long as the property is within their utility's service territory. Utilities's off-site net metering capacity must be at least 0.25% of their annual retail sales from the previous year. Municipal Utilities and Electric Cooperatives Colorado enacted legislation in March 2008 requiring municipal utilities with more than 5,000 customers and all electric cooperatives to offer net metering for residential systems up to 10 kW and commercial and industrial systems up to 25 kW (see H.B. 1160). Electric cooperatives and municipal utilities are authorized to exceed these minimum size standards. Any customer's NEG in a given month is applied as a kWh credit to the customer's next bill, with each kWh credit of NEG off-setting 1 kWh of electricity consumption in a future month. Electric cooperatives and municipal utilities are required to pay for any remaining NEG at the end of an annual period based on a "rate deemed appropriate" by the electric cooperative or municipal utility.
Who’s eligible : Commercial, Industrial, Local Government, Nonprofit, Residential, State Government, Retail Supplier, Agricultural, Institutional
How to apply : Colorado exempts from the state's sales and use tax all sales, storage, and use of components used in the production of alternating current electricity from a renewable energy source for fiscal years beginning on or after July 1, 2006. The exemption for systems which produce electricity from a renewable resource includes, but is not limited to, photovoltaic (PV) systems, solar thermal-electric systems, small wind systems, biomass systems, or geothermal systems. Effective July 1, 2009, through July 1, 2017, all sales, storage, and use of components used in solar thermal systems are exempt from the state's sales and use tax. Effective May 5, 2014, through July 1, 2019, all sales, storage, and use of components used in biogas production systems are exempt from the state's sales and use tax (see H.B. 1159). System Components Exempt from Taxation Eligible components include, but are not limited to, wind turbine generators, rotors and blades, solar modules, trackers, supporting structures or racks, inverters, towers and foundations, plus balance of system components such as wiring, control systems, switchgears, and generator step-up transformers. Also exempt are concentrating solar power components that include, but are not limited to: mirrors, plumbing, and heat exchangers. Ineligible components include any components beyond the step-up transformers located at the production site, labor, energy storage devices, or remote monitoring systems. Local Option -- Sales and Use Tax Exemption The exemption only applies to state sales and use taxes – not to sales and use taxes assessed by incorporated towns, cities, and counties. However, Colorado has granted local jurisdictions the authority to exempt renewable energy equipment from sales and use taxes if a local government chooses to do so.
Who’s eligible : State Government
How to apply : History Colorado has established mandatory sustainability requirements for the design and construction of state-owned buildings (including schools), state-assisted buildings, and publicly-assisted housing projects buildings. In July 2005, Colorado’s governor signed Executive Order D005 05, mandating that state agencies and departments evaluate business operations and implement new programs “to promote environmentally sustainable and economically efficient practices.” The order also created the Colorado Greening Government Coordinating Council (CGGCC), made up of representatives from each state agency and department, to develop and implement new conservation policies and augment existing ones. Green Goals In October 2015, Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper signed Executive Order D 2015-013. This order established targets for state agencies to reduce energy, water, fuel, and paper consumption, and to reduce overall greenhouse gas emissions. Executive Order D 2018-026, also signed by Governor Hickenlooper, amended the previous executive order to allow state agencies to count renewable electricity generated on or off-site in the energy use reduction goal. In April 2022, Colorado Governor Jared Polis signed Executive Order D 2022-016, creating new requirements for reducing greenhouse gas emissions and energy consumption by establishing more targeted efforts in energy efficiency, energy conservation, renewable energy, and fleet management. State agencies are required to report on or before June 1, 2023, and on or before June 1 of each year, their building energy use for the previous calendar year in the format set by the Colorado Energy Office to comply with annual building energy and emissions benchmarking requirements (§ 25-7-142, C.R.S.) Performance Contracting Colorado encourages the use of energy performance contracting—funding energy efficiency measures through expected energy savings, avoiding large up-front capital costs—at state agencies, higher education institutions, and local governments. As of July 1st, 2021, energy performance contracting had saved Colorado Jurisditictions $45 million and totaled more than $710,000,000, in investments. More information on performance contracting in Colorado can be found here. Colorado provides standardized, state-approved contracts, sponsored by the Colorado Energy Office (CEO), Office of the State Architect, Office of the Attorney General, and the Colorado Chapter of the Energy Services Coalition, to insure high-quality work. Facility owners are also provided with a list of pre-qualified energy service companies. Furthermore, Colorado offers free third-party coaching and technical assistance throughout the lifecycle of a performance contracting project. Upon signing a non-binding Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with the CEO, a facility owner is assigned a CEO project consultant, who helps guide them through the sometimes daunting the technical, legal and financial complexities of EPC. In June 2014, S.B. 186 was passed, granting the CEO power to aggregate energy efficiency and renewable energy projects in small or rural school districts, counties, and municipalities to create a portfolio of projects to attract private energy service company financing. Financed projects are charged an issuance fee of up to one percent, which goes to the Efficient Schools and Communities Performance Contracting Fund. The Fund is disbursed in the form of grants, prioritized by need, to reimburse unfunded schools districts, counties, and municipalities for the cost of a technical energy audit or to energy service companies for a portion of their costs if an efficiency project or renewable energy project is not financed. Building Standards S.B. 51 resulted in the implementation of the High Performance Certification Policy for government buildings. The minimum standard to be achieved by all new facilities and major renovation projects over 5,000 square feet that receive at least 25% of their funding from the state is U.S. Green Building Council's Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design (LEED) Gold (unless the extra costs cannot be recouped within 15 years). Under Executive Order D2010-006, agencies are also required to include in their capital construction request a review of renewable energy systems and related opportunities to optimize savings, including use of third-party power purchase agreements. Schools In June 2013, Colorado's governor signed S.B. 279, which mandated that all schools that receive state funding and are new or renovated on or after January 1, 2014, meet the highest energy efficiency standards practicable, including ENERGY STAR or the highest performance certification possible.
Who’s eligible : Commercial, Industrial, Investor-Owned Utility, Nonprofit, Municipal Utilities, Residential, Cooperative Utilities, Schools, Agricultural, Institutional
How to apply : In December 2005 the Colorado Public Utilities Commission (PUC) adopted standards for net metering and interconnection, as required by Amendment 37, a renewable energy ballot initiative approved by Colorado voters in November 2004. The interconnection rules were overhauled in July 2021. The PUC standards generally apply to investor-owned utilities (IOUs) with 40,000 or more customers and all electric cooperatives. Municipal utilities with 5,000 customers or more are required to adopt interconnection rules that are functionally similar to the PUC's standards (see H.B. 08-1160). Electric cooperatives and municipal utilities may reduce or waive any insurance requirements that apply to IOUs. Colorado’s interconnection rules are based on the Federal Energy Regulatory Commission’s (FERC) interconnection standards for small generators, adopted in May 2005 by FERC Order 2006. Colorado's rules for interconnection include requirements, standards, and review procedures for three levels of interconnection for systems up to 10 megawatts (MW), based on system complexity. Level 1 Interconnection Level 1 interconnection applies to inverter-based systems with a maximum nameplate capacity of 25 kilowatts-AC; these systems can be paired with energy storage systems no larger than 25 kW-AC. These systems must comply with the IEEE 1547 and UL 1741 standards and other applicable standards. Level 2 Interconnection Level 2 interconnection is the fast track process, and eligible systems depend on the line voltage, system size, and system location in relation to the utility line: Line Voltage Eligibility Regardless of Location Eligibility Meeting Location Requirements < 5 kV ≤ 500 kW ≤ 500 kW ≥ 5 kV and 15 kV ≤ 2 MW ≤ 3 MW ≥ 15 kV and 30 kV ≤ 3 MW ≤ 4 MW ≥ 30 kV and < 69 kV ≤ 4 MW ≤ 5 MW To meet the location requirements, inverter-based systems must be within 2.5 electrical circuit miles of a substation and on a mainline. All synchronous and induction facilities have a maximum size of 2 MW, regardless of location, for Level 2 eligibility. These systems must comply with the IEEE 1547 and UL 1741 standards and must be connected to a portion of the distribution system that is subject to the utility's tariff. There are specific limitations on a single system's potential impact and the aggregate potential impact on the grid. If a proposed interconnection fails one of the various screening tests, the customer-generator may need to pay for a supplemental review by the utility. Level 3 Interconnection Level 3 interconnection applies to systems up to 10 MW that do not qualify for either Level 1 or Level 2 interconnection procedures. Level 3 interconnection may require studies involving project scope, feasibility, system impact, and facilities. The customer may need to make a deposit and incur a portion of the total costs associated with these studies. Insurance levels will be determined on a case-by-case basis by the servicing utility. Liability Insurance A utility can only require an applicant to purchase insurance covering utility damages in the following amounts for each occurrence: $3 million per occurrence for non-inverter-based systems over 5 MW $2 million per occurrence for inverter-based systems over 5 MW and non-inverter-based systems between 2-5 MW $1 million per occurrence for inverter-based systems between 1-5 MW and non-inverter-based systems between 500 kW-2 MW $500,000 per occurrence for non-inverter-based systems between 50-500 kW No insurance is required for inverter-based systems under 1 MW and non-inverter-based systems under 50 kW
Who’s eligible : Commercial, Industrial, Nonprofit, Agricultural, Multifamily Residential
How to apply : In 2010, the Federal Housing Finance Agency (FHFA), which has authority over mortgage underwriters Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac, directed these enterprises against purchasing mortgages of homes with a PACE lien due to its senior status above a mortgage. Most residential PACE activities subsided following this directive; however, some residential PACE programs are now operating with loan loss reserve funds, appropriate disclosures, or other protections meant to address FHFA's concerns. Commercial PACE programs were not directly affected by FHFA’s actions, as Fannie Mae and Freddie Mac do not underwrite commercial mortgages. Visit PACENation for more information about PACE financing and a comprehensive list of all PACE programs across the country. Colorado has created a statewide PACE program that allows property owners to finance 100% of the up-front costs of an energy efficiency, renewable energy, or water conservation improvement. Property owners repay the financing as a special assessment on their property tax bill over the financing term, up to 20 years. Typically, the annual energy savings exceed annual assessments, making PACE projects cash flow positive from the first year. C-PACE funding is available to commercial, industrial, agricultural, non-profit and multifamily properties. New construction may use PACE financing for up to 20% of the total construction costs when designing and building energy efficiency measures beyond what is required by the existing code. C-PACE is administered by Sustainable Real Estate Solutions SRS on behalf of the state New Energy Improvement District (NEID), which was authorized by HB 10-1328 (and amended by SB 13-1212 and SB 16-171). NEID by statute is governed by a Board of Directors that includes representatives from the Colorado Energy Office, real estate development, banking, energy efficiency and renewable energy, and public utilities. Counties must opt in to the program through a participation agreement with the NEID in order to make C-PACE financing available to properties located within the county. Counties are responsible for collecting assessment payments and remitting those payments to NEID in order to distribute repayments to the original capital provider. To cover the costs of these services, counties may leverage a 1% servicing fee, usually included in the total financed amount and repaid over the course of the financing. This link provides a list of all participating Colorado counties. Financing is provided by private capital providers who meet the program’s criteria. Projects may select their capital provider before applying to the program, or may apply without pre-arranged funding and use a pool of eligible capital providers to find the best-fit financing. PACE liens, as special assessments, are senior to mortgages and other commercial liens. Therefore, property owners must receive the consent of all mortgage holders on the property to participate in the program. Qualification for C-PACE financing is based on the property’s market value, the dollar value of the energy improvement, the property owner’s equity in the property, and the owner’s a mortgage and property tax payment history. The amount of allowable financing is based on the property’s financial statements, including the loan to value percentage, and other considerations of the mortgage holder. The repayment period is limited by the effective useful life of improvements. Interest rates vary but are fixed and typically low compared to alternative sources of financing. There is a one-time fee equal to 2.25% of the project finance amount (not to exceed $50,000 per project, with a minimum fee of $5,000 per project) will be assigned to each C-PACE project. Colorado C-PACE projects typically range from $200,000 to over $1.0 million. There are no C-PACE program-defined minimum or maximum project financing size limitations. Rather each participating capital provider is expected to set their own financing parameters. C-PACE provides support to contractors through building selection, project scoping, proposal preparation, technical review, financing, construction, and commissioning. Attendance of a contractor training workshop is required to be registered with the C-PACE program. See the program website for more details, including a complete program guide, application forms, and information tailored to contractors, property owners, mortgage holders, counties, and capital providers. History of PACE in Colorado The C-PACE program operates under the statutory authority of CRS 32-20-101 et seq. HB 10-1378 established the NEID, and SB 13-212 made further amendments to establish the C-PACE program with the ability to utilize third-party financing to fund energy improvements. Colorado originally passed PACE enabling legislation in 2008 with HB 08-1350, though the more recent legislation supersedes this original statute.

What is the best way to pay for solar?
Cash payments
Paying cash upfront is easily the simplest and most cost-effective route — if you can afford it. It lets you maximize your total savings by avoiding interest rates and other fees. You also don’t have to worry about making monthly payments. But the downside is you have to spend a lot of cash at once which isn’t an option for everyone.
Pros
Cons
Financing
Financing solar panels is probably the most common payment method. You get to own the system — as opposed to leasing — but you don’t have to spend all your cash at once. And although you do have to pay interest, you can secure a fairly low interest rate as long you have good credit.
Pros
Cons
Solar leases and PPA agreements
If purchasing solar equipment isn’t an option for you, a lease or a PPA may be worth exploring. This is where you are essentially “renting” the equipment for a fixed rate each month. And although you don’t have ownership of your system, there are other benefits such as maintenance and servicing agreements.
Pros
Cons
