Going solar in Crisman
Crisman is a small Fourmile Canyon community in unincorporated Boulder County, west of Boulder, where homes line the canyon road below steep forested slopes.
Solar work in Crisman is permitted by Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting. We submit the electrical and structural documents it asks for and schedule the inspections around you.
Your utility: Xcel Energy
Xcel's community lists name Crisman as a service community. Before designing, we pull a year of your Xcel usage: it sets the 120% ceiling on system size and tells us how much a battery could shift into the evening.
Battery backup in Crisman
Canyon homes in Crisman often have tight roof space and shade from the canyon walls, so we check whether a battery, solar, or both make sense. Batteries we install: Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4. They pair with new panels or with solar already on the roof.
Xcel's Renewable Battery Connect program pays $250 per kW of battery capacity, up to $5,000, and currently covers Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ batteries. Xcel's PSPS Backup Battery Rebate can add up to $10,000 for customers in its Medical Certification or Exemption programs who live in Tier 2 or Tier 3 wildfire risk areas; we confirm eligibility for your address first.

Crisman solar installation FAQs
Who issues the solar permit for a home in Crisman?
Permits for Crisman homes come from Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting, since the community is unincorporated. We handle the drawings, the filing and the inspections.
Which utility serves Crisman?
Xcel's community lists name Crisman as a service community. We still check your bill, because Xcel says it doesn't serve every address in every listed community. Once that's confirmed, we design within Xcel's 120% sizing limit and handle the interconnection application.
Can solar work on an older Crisman roof?
Foothills roofs here are often steep, partly shaded by pines and exposed to strong downslope winds. We use microinverters or optimizers where shade moves across the array, engineer racking for local wind and snow loads, and look at a ground mount when the roof won't work. We'll tell you plainly if solar doesn't make sense for your site.
