Your utility: Xcel Energy or another provider
Xcel's Colorado communities list includes Aristocrat Ranchettes for gas and electric service. Xcel notes it does not always serve an entire community, so the name on your bill decides the rules: on Xcel, we follow its net metering and 120% sizing limit; on another utility, we follow that utility's process.
Wind, hail and open roofs
Weld County towns get long, unshaded plains sun along with wind and hail. We design with hail-rated panels, wind-rated racking and short, clean conduit runs.
Battery backup in Aristocrat Ranchettes
On small acreages, a ground mount or shop roof can carry the solar while a battery protects the house and well. Batteries we install: Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4. They pair with new panels or with solar already on the roof.
If your meter is on Xcel, Renewable Battery Connect pays $250 per kW of battery capacity, up to $5,000, for Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ batteries.

Aristocrat Ranchettes solar installation FAQs
Who issues the solar permit for a home in Aristocrat Ranchettes?
There's no town building department in Aristocrat Ranchettes; Weld County's building department reviews solar and battery work here. We put the permit package together and are on site for inspections.
Which utility serves Aristocrat Ranchettes?
Xcel's Colorado communities list includes Aristocrat Ranchettes for gas and electric service. Xcel's list is a good starting point but not proof for a single address, so we look at your bill. Xcel customers get Xcel's net metering and battery programs; anyone else follows their own utility's rules.
Can I add a battery to solar in Aristocrat Ranchettes later?
Absolutely. We leave room in the panel and plan the wiring path so a battery can be added without redoing the solar.
Can solar work on an older Aristocrat Ranchettes roof?
Plains towns in Weld County see some of the strongest summer hail in the state, so panel hail ratings and roof condition are part of every quote. Flat, open lots also make ground mounts an option for homes with room. We'll tell you plainly if solar doesn't make sense for your site.
