Boulder County faces among the highest wildfire and drought risk in Colorado. The 2021 Marshall Fire demonstrated the devastating potential, and PSPS events are ongoing in surrounding areas. Battery storage is both a safety measure and a financial asset for Boulder homeowners. Xcel’s Renewable Battery Connect and community-scale battery storage projects provide multiple pathways to resilience.
Key incentives include: Boulder sales and use tax rebate on solar equipment (reimburses city portion of sales tax); Boulder low-income solar grant program (offsets installation costs for eligible residents); EnergySmart Colorado rebates: $500–$2,500 for solar and efficiency upgrades; Xcel 1:1 net metering, Solar*Rewards, and Renewable Battery Connect; Colorado sales and property tax exemptions; Community solar garden subscriptions available for renters.
Boulder offers its own sales tax rebate on solar equipment and low-income grants that stack on top of state and Xcel incentives. The EnergySmart Colorado program also provides additional rebates. This makes Boulder one of the most incentive-rich solar markets in the state.
Boulder County has the highest drought risk among Colorado cities, and the Marshall Fire was a stark reminder of the threat. Battery backup keeps your home powered during PSPS events and provides essential resilience. We strongly recommend battery storage for Boulder installations.
