Over 300 days of sunshine a year makes Colorado solar energy a plentiful resource and makes installing solar panels to generate electricity or to heat water, a poignant choice.

Colorado’s RPS has a goal to enable all investor-owned utilities to produce 30 percent of their electricity by 2020 from renewable energy. With the RPS, the utilities are offering significant incentives and rebates so that they can meet their goals.

If you go solar now in Colorado, you can receive utility incentives, apart from the federal tax credit. Combine the state’s net metering law with these incentives, and it makes a compelling case to go solar in Colorado.

The average cost of installing a solar panel in the state ranges between $13,388 and $18,112. On a $/W basis, a solar panel installation in Colorado will cost you from $2.68 to $3.62.

The average solar payback period in Colorado is 10.51 years, which means you can recover your initial investment fully within this time period.
