Colorado commercial solar incentives.

Federal, state, and utility programs can dramatically improve the economics of a commercial project. We'll identify and help you stack every incentive you qualify for.

Federal

Commercial Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

The federal ITC still lets businesses credit 30% of a solar PV system's cost dollar-for-dollar against their tax liability — but under the 2025 budget law, commercial solar projects must be placed in service by December 31, 2027 to qualify. Projects that begin construction sooner may lock in eligibility, so timing your project now matters more than ever. We'll help you plan around the deadline.

Federal

MACRS & Bonus Depreciation

Under the Modified Accelerated Cost Recovery System (MACRS), businesses recover their solar investment through depreciation deductions over a 5-year lifespan. The taxable basis is reduced by 50% of associated tax credits, and qualifying projects can elect bonus depreciation in the first year of service.

USDA Grant

Rural Energy for America Program (REAP)

REAP provides financial assistance to agricultural producers and rural small businesses to install renewable energy systems. Per the IRA, the REAP grant can cover up to 50% of a project's cost — double the previous 25% cost-share level.

Colorado

Enterprise Zone (EZ) Corporate Tax Credit

A taxpayer may claim an EZ investment tax credit for qualified investments located in an enterprise zone, equal to 3% of the investment. Up to $750,000 may be claimed during any tax year for eligible renewable energy on systems costing less than $25 million.

Xcel Energy

Solar*Rewards Program

Xcel Energy's Solar*Rewards provides incentives for grid-connected PV systems sized up to 120% of a facility's average annual load, in exchange for the renewable energy credits (RECs) the system produces. REC purchases run for 20 years, with payment size based on system size and ownership.

Incentive programs, rates, and eligibility change over time and depend on your business, location, and system. We don't provide tax advice — consult your tax professional and confirm details with each program. We'll help you understand what's available.
