Edgewater’s electric utility
The state’s utility-territory map places Edgewater in Xcel Energy (Public Service Company of Colorado) territory. As an investor-owned utility, it banks exported solar as kWh credits that offset later use one-for-one.
We still confirm the utility from your bill, since service territories are drawn along lines and substations rather than street grids.
Designing for Edgewater’s conditions
Edgewater’s elevation (about 5,370 ft) puts it on the lower, open side of Colorado — long unshaded sun hours, with hail and wind as the conditions we engineer around.
Permits in Edgewater
Permits for solar in Edgewater come from whichever office holds building and electrical authority for your address — the town, Jefferson County, or, in many smaller Colorado jurisdictions, the State Electrical Board for electrical permits. We identify the right office and pull the permits as part of the job.
