Rocky Mountain Solar Savings

Colorado is a wonderful state, you can really feel the Rocky Mountain High coming on when you see those beautiful ranges and forests. Also, it has a lot of sunshine to offer. Colorado's abundant sunshine can generate 100x more electricity than it needs. Woah, right?  It’s no surprise that the Colorado solar energy industry has recently created various opportunities in R&D and manufacturing. This is a big win for everyone seeking a healthier planet and a stronger workforce. Renewable power in Colorado isn't a distinct thing. Colorado has remained on the solar power surge for years. It remains to be on the Top #10 list of states that generate extensive power from the sun.

Colorado's Electricity Rates Aren't The Best

With the former being said, the positive news preceding, Colorado’s electricity expenses continue to increase. This state’s utility prices have grown 62.1%  across residential, commercial and industrial sectors in the past 15 years (although there has been a small drop lately).

This increase has flourished higher and quicker than the rise in family income. Also, the Institute for Energy Research (IER) remarks that Colorado has raised electricity rates than nearly all of its neighboring states. This is not good news it's bad news. Additionally, Colorado still relies on dirty coal and electrical power plants. Yuk.  HahaSmart wants to help Colorado fight the good fight against rising utility rates and dirty fossil fuels. The world has recognized that we all want a protected planet for future generations. And we all want savings. So, solar is the solution. 

Making Solar A Reality

Colorado prepares it's belief in solar energy as a way toward a sustainable future. However, considerations and rebates for installing solar energy can be a bit complex, as it is in several states. Here at HahaSmart, our solar technicians make it a point to keep contemporary on state and federal financial incentives, and we lead you through what’s possible in your area.

And we’re also impressed of our incentives. We pass many savings along to our customers. We manage all the paperwork (and permits) and apply for all the state and federal reductions for you. Then we pass these savings onto you and you will get a lower upfront price for your solar system.

The Solar Of Colorado

Buy solar with HahaSmart and own your solar panel system. When you buy your solar system there are utility discounts in some portions of the state, there are property tax incentives and sales tax incentives, and don’t ignore our government’s 30% tax cut. There are extra savings for ownership. 

Colorado has had an excellent overall package of solar incentives for some years now. Not much has changed lately, except possibly the targets set for renewable energy are getting closer to being met.

While they have an excellent RPS (Renewables Portfolio Standard) of 30% by 2020 the Xcel solar carve-out program is limited in its yearly availability. The 30% federal tax credit has been increased and is a significant incentive for many people to go down the solar path. Coupled with Net Metering and you have a good foundation to incentivize people to get solar power.

You should be able to buy good quality solar power systems from reputable installers in the realm of $3.20 to $3.50 per watt, before incentives and fully installed. At this sort of price level, you are talking about a payback period of 10 years or less and an internal rate of return on purchase of over 10%.
