Solar Incentives for Colorado
State rebates pay for a significant portion of your solar system installation cost. However, rebates are always decreasing as popularity increases. Learn more about your local rebate program and call REC Solar for a free site evaluation.
Federal tax credits make solar even more appealing. The US government currently offers residential solar system owners a one time federal tax credit, capped at $2,000. Commercial solar system owners are offered a 30% tax credit, making solar an even smarter financial investment. |
