Colorado Solar Incentives
Federal Tax Credit (Residential Clean Energy Credit, Sections 25D & 48E) - Homeowners who own a solar system outright can claim a 30% tax credit on eligible costs if the system is installed and commissioned by December 31, 2025. After that date, the residential credit ends for purchased systems, but will still be available for leases or Power Purchase Agreements (PPAs) until December 31, 2027.
Net Metering (Retail-Rate Credit) - Utility customers in Colorado may receive a 1:1 (kWh-for-kWh) credit at retail rates for excess energy sent back to the grid. Systems are typically eligible up to certain size caps (often ~100-200% of annual usage, varying by utility).
Property Tax Exemption - The added value from a solar installation is exempt from property tax assessment in Colorado, meaning your home won't be taxed on the increase in assessed value due to solar.
State Sales Tax Exemption - Colorado offers a sales and use tax exemption on solar equipment in many jurisdictions, meaning you don't pay state sales tax on the solar components. (Check for local variations.)
Local Utility & Rebate Programs - Some utilities and local programs offer rebates or financing assistance. For example, the “EnergySmart Colorado” program provides rebate/loan incentives depending on location. Many co-ops and municipal utilities also offer their own rebate programs.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Colorado offer net metering?
Yes. Colorado has statewide net metering. Systems under 120–200% of your load (depending on utility) roll over credits indefinitely, though exact rules depend on your provider.
What local rebates are available in Colorado?
Utilities like Xcel Energy, Black Hills Energy, Holy Cross Energy, and SMPA offer rebates (e.g., SMPA’s $0.10/W, performance-based incentives, or Energy Smart Colorado grants up to $4,000).
Are there tax breaks for solar in Colorado?
While Colorado doesn’t have a statewide solar tax credit, many areas provide property tax exemptions on solar installations. Some municipalities may also waive sales tax on equipment.
How much sun does Colorado get for solar?
Colorado ranks among the top in solar potential, with average peak sun hours between 5 and 6.5 hours per day, thanks to its high altitude and frequent clear skies.
