Your utility: confirm your utility
Homes in the Evergreen and Idaho Springs area can be on Xcel Energy or CORE Electric Cooperative. Published utility lists don't settle Echo Hills for us, so the bill is the source of truth. Once we know your utility, we follow its interconnection rules and only then talk about any programs.
Battery backup in Echo Hills
In Echo Hills, the first question is which utility serves your meter. After that, backup planning centers on heat, water and access. We're certified on Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4, whether you're adding storage now, later, or to an older system.
We won't count any utility rebate until your utility is confirmed.

Echo Hills solar installation FAQs
Who issues the solar permit for a home in Echo Hills?
Solar work in Echo Hills is permitted by Clear Creek County's building department. We submit the electrical and structural documents it asks for and schedule the inspections around you.
Which utility serves Echo Hills?
Homes in the Evergreen and Idaho Springs area can be on Xcel Energy or CORE Electric Cooperative. Until your bill confirms the provider, we treat Echo Hills as 'utility to be confirmed' and leave rebates out of the numbers. Then we follow that utility's process.
Do you offer ground mounts in Echo Hills?
Partial shade from pines is the biggest design factor in this part of Clear Creek County. Module-level electronics limit the loss from shaded panels, and a ground mount can be an option on open slopes. We'll tell you plainly if solar doesn't make sense for your site.
