Going solar in Bonanza Mountain Estates
Bonanza Mountain Estates is a small subdivision in unincorporated Boulder County just outside Nederland, at high elevation off the Peak to Peak corridor.
Bonanza Mountain Estates is unincorporated Boulder County, so solar and battery permits go through Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting. We prepare the plans, file the application and meet the inspector.
Your utility: Xcel Energy or another provider
Xcel's Colorado communities list includes Bonanza Mountain Estates for 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.
Battery backup in Bonanza Mountain Estates
Bonanza Mountain Estates shares Nederland's outage history, so we usually size backup for heat and water first. 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. If someone in the home is enrolled in Xcel's Medical Certification or Exemption program and the address is in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 wildfire risk area, Xcel's backup battery rebate may add up to $10,000. We verify both before counting it.

Is my Bonanza Mountain Estates roof a good fit for solar?
On a forested foothills lot, the best array is not always the biggest. We weigh roof shade, snow load and access for fire crews, and sometimes recommend a smaller array plus a larger battery. We'll tell you plainly if solar doesn't make sense for your site.
