Is Fort Collins on Xcel Energy?

How much is the Fort Collins solar rebate?

Fort Collins Utilities pays $300 per kW of installed solar capacity, up to $1,500. For battery storage, the rebate is $300 per kWh up to $6,000. The combined maximum for solar plus battery is $7,500. You must apply before installation and use an approved contractor. Apollo Energy is on the Fort Collins Utilities approved contractor list.

Do I need to use a specific solar contractor in Fort Collins?

Yes. To qualify for Fort Collins Utilities solar and battery rebates, you must use a contractor from their Participating Solar Contractor Network. Apollo Energy is an approved contractor on that list.

How long does a solar installation take in Fort Collins?

The physical installation takes 1-2 days. The full project timeline including design, rebate application, permits, installation, inspection, and utility activation is about 60-90 days.
