The best solar rebates and tax breaks in Colorado

The Centennial State makes it pretty beneficial for you to have solar: not only will you get paid for any extra energy you generate thanks to Colorado net metering, you’ll also be rewarded for producing clean energy and won’t even have to pay any taxes on your new system.

Local solar rebates

Many Colorado utilities and local organizations offer cash rebates to homeowners who want to install solar on their property. These are just two examples, but more local incentives are available – be sure to explore the options available in your area:

• EnergySmart Colorado: Rebates of anywhere from $400 to $2,500 (depending on where you live) are available for solar installations on homes in Pitkin and Eagle counties, Eagle Valley, the Town of Vail, and Summit County.
• Holy Cross Energy: Holy Cross has a per-kilowatt (kW) rebate for its customers to reduce the cost of going solar. The incentive is $500 for the first 6 kW, and is stepped down for larger systems. Homeowners installing an average 6kW system can save $3,000 on their installation costs with this great rebate.

Tax exemptions for renewable energy equipment

Thanks to some helpful CO tax breaks for solar, you won’t have to pay the government anything for your new solar panels. First, the Sales and Use Tax Exemption for Renewable Energy Equipment means that there won’t be any sales tax on the purchase of your system. Second, the Property Tax Exemption for Residential Renewable Energy Equipment keeps you from having to pay any additional taxes on the increased value of your house.
