Why Solar Performs Exceptionally Well in Colorado

Colorado is one of the sunniest states in the country, allowing solar systems to outperform national production averages. Combined with rising Xcel Energy costs, strong net metering rules, and high long-term energy demand, solar provides Colorado homeowners with reliable savings and protection against annual utility rate increases.

• Colorado ranks among the top states for annual sunlight  


• Xcel Energy rates continue rising due to grid upgrades and fuel volatility  


• Solar systems produce exceptionally well in Colorado’s dry, sunny climate  


• Net metering helps homeowners maximize monthly savings  


• Solar reduces dependence on utilities facing high infrastructure costs

Colorado Electricity Rates Are Rising Faster Than Expected

Colorado homeowners, particularly those served by Xcel Energy, face frequent rate increases driven by grid modernization efforts, wildfire mitigation expenses, rising labor costs, and growing electricity demand. Solar provides long-term financial protection by offering predictable, stable energy costs for decades.

• Xcel Energy has implemented repeated rate increases  


• Increasing grid maintenance and wildfire mitigation costs impact consumers  


• Colorado’s fast population growth pushes electricity demand higher  


• Solar offsets rising daytime electricity use during peak hours  


• Long-term savings continue to grow as utility prices climb
