Solar in Rangely, Colorado

Moon Lake Electric Association is the utility on the state’s territory map for Rangely. In practice that means your system is interconnected under its rules — it sets its own export rules, which we confirm directly before designing.

As always, the utility printed on your bill beats any map; we verify it by address before quoting.

At roughly 5,270 feet, Rangely sits on Colorado’s lower country, where open exposure makes shade rare but wind and hail are real design loads. Racking, attachment and panel selection matter more here than squeezing out the last percent of output.

Permits for solar in Rangely come from whichever office holds building and electrical authority for your address — the town, Rio Blanco 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.

Its population has held roughly steady since 2020 (2,303 then, 2,304 in 2025). It ranks #2 by population among the communities in Rio Blanco County, and its nearest neighbors are Dinosaur (16 mi), Meeker (47 mi), Parachute (59 mi).

Rangely is about 202 miles from our Denver office as the crow flies. For projects this far out we schedule site visits and installs in batches, and we tell you up front how that affects timing.
