Red Rock Roofing is ready to help you take advantage of solar incentives.
These programs can include federal tax credits, state-level exemptions, and local utility programs.
What this page helps you do:
A credit that can reduce your federal tax liability based on eligible system costs (ownership rules apply).
Colorado offers a state sales tax exemption and property tax exemption for eligible solar equipment (rules apply).
Excess solar generation can earn bill credits through your utility (availability and rules vary).
Some utilities and cities offer rebates or battery incentives (amounts and eligibility vary by location).
The Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is designed to promote solar adoption by reducing federal tax liability.
The credit may be up to 30% of eligible system costs (subject to eligibility requirements).
Eligible costs can include (commonly):
Important ownership note:
Eligibility generally depends on who owns the system. Leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs) typically don’t allow the homeowner to claim the credit. Loan-financed systems may still qualify if you own the system.
Important disclaimer:
This is general information and not tax advice. Eligibility depends on your situation. Confirm details with a tax professional and the latest federal guidance.
Colorado has incentives in addition to federal tax credits.
Programs can vary by location, utility provider, and system type.
With net metering, excess energy your solar system generates can be sent back to the grid.
In return, you may receive credits on your electricity bill.
What to confirm with your utility:
1. Whether net metering is available.
2. Credit rate and how credits are applied
3. System sizing limits and interconnection requirements
Colorado has a 2.9% state sales tax exemption for eligible solar components. You typically benefit at the time of purchase because qualifying sales tax is not collected.
Colorado offers a property tax exemption for eligible solar installed on your roof. This can help you avoid additional property tax burden from the added solar value (rules apply).
Rebates vary by location and utility provider. Some areas also offer incentives for battery storage.
Programs and eligibility can change. We verify current terms during consultation.
If you add an eligible solar-charged battery and enroll in a utility battery program, the utility may manage the battery during peak demand events.
In some cases, participants receive an upfront incentive.
Battery compatibility note:
Eligible equipment lists can change. We confirm compatibility during planning.
Fort Collins residential customers may be able to apply for incentives for solar PV and battery storage.
Rebate amounts can be calculated using a $/Watt schedule based on DC system size.
Colorado may offer an income tax credit to building owners who install qualifying residential energy storage systems.

Eligibility requirements and forms can change. Confirm requirements with the latest state guidance and your tax professional.
