5 Benefits of Residential Solar in Colorado

MAY 1, 2025

Colorado Is Built for Solar

With over 300 days of sunshine per year and some of the highest solar irradiance levels in the country, Colorado homeowners are uniquely positioned to benefit from solar energy. Here's why it makes sense.

1. Dramatically Reduce Your Energy Bills

Solar panels generate electricity from the sun, energy you'd otherwise buy from the utility. Most Colorado homeowners see significant monthly savings, and with net metering, excess power you generate goes back to the grid for credits on your bill.

2. Protect Against Rising Utility Rates

Electricity rates have risen steadily for decades. Locking in a solar system today means hedging against future rate increases, since you're generating your own power regardless of what the utility charges.

3. Generous Rebates and Incentives

Colorado offers some of the country's best solar incentives:

  • Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC), 30% of system cost
  • Colorado state sales tax exemption on solar equipment
  • Property tax exemption, added home value from solar is exempt from property taxes
  • Xcel Energy and Black Hills Energy rebates for qualifying customers

Native Roofing and Solar navigates all of these programs for you, maximizing your return.

4. Increase Your Home's Value

Studies consistently show that homes with solar sell faster and at a premium compared to comparable homes without. Solar is increasingly viewed as a standard feature by buyers.

5. Finance With No Money Down

Native Roofing and Solar offers financing at 1.99% APR with no money down. In many cases, the monthly loan payment is less than your previous electric bill, meaning you start saving from day one.
