Who powers Evans
Xcel Energy (Public Service Company of Colorado) is the utility on the state’s territory map for Evans. In practice that means your system is interconnected under its rules — it banks exported solar as kWh credits that offset later use one-for-one.
Heads up: the map also shows Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association overlapping the Evans area. Utility boundaries are drawn by service lines, not city limits — we check your specific address.

Evans’s elevation (about 4,680 ft) puts it on the lower, open side of Colorado — long unshaded sun hours, with hail and wind as the conditions we engineer around.
Getting a solar permit in Evans
Permits for solar in Evans come from whichever office holds building and electrical authority for your address — the town, Weld 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.
