The number of homeowners having solar panels installed in Colorado has been increasing faster than ever over the past few years. The state has been busily helping citizens obtain solar panels by providing substantial incentives, including sales tax exemptions and other benefits of purchasing solar for private residences. The government even has a project underway to install publicly accessible solar energy in some areas. Additionally, Colorado electric companies offer incentives to customers privately transitioning their homes to solar.
The role of Solarise Solar in the proliferation of solar transitions throughout Colorado is to help homeowners and businesses obtain the best solar panel prices for the best quality of equipment and installation. Solarise experts design the most efficient solar energy system for each home and business to fit the needs and budget of each homeowner and company operator.

Why Do Solar Panels Work So Well In Wellington, CO?
Wellington, Colorado, gets 233 sunshine days annually. That’s 28 days (nearly a month) more than the U.S. national average of only 205. It’s also only 15 days fewer than Miami, Florida, gets!! That makes Wellington a naturally better location for solar panels than many areas of the country where solar panels are in wide use and spreading faster every day.
As solar panels have become more and more widely installed throughout the U.S. and the world over the past two decades, prices have dropped every year. Today, the average solar payback period for home solar is less than 5 years and it typically takes only around 8.5 to 11.5 years to pay off a solar panel system in full. That’s compared to the 25 years it took to
pay them off when solar panels first came on the market! The lower pricing, along with the Colorado sales tax exemption for solar panels, home improvement tax, and the IRS’s Investment Tax Credit, make solar panels more affordable than ever.
Solar Progress in Wellington
The new 22-megawatt Rawhide Prairie Solar panel array installed by the Platte River Power Authority came online on March 6, 2021. Reportedly, the project will ultimately supply renewable energy to supply about six thousand homes north of Wellington in the Fort Collins, Estes Park, Loveland, and Longmont areas. The site stores energy for continual consumption in an industrial Tesla battery. The new broadscale civil solar project is helping the State of Colorado achieve the official goal of becoming a carbon-free state by 2030.
