Your utility: Holy Cross Energy
Holy Cross Energy, the member-owned electric co-op for the Eagle and Roaring Fork valleys, serves El Jebel. That means Xcel's battery rebates don't apply. We follow Holy Cross's interconnection process and check what member programs it currently offers before we quote.
Snow loads and HOA review
Mountain valley sun is strong in summer and short in winter. We study shade from the ridges, design for snow, and plan battery placement inside the garage or mechanical room.
Battery backup in El Jebel
El Jebel is a long way from the rest of Eagle County by road, so we plan each Roaring Fork project around one well-prepared site visit. We install Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4 batteries and can add one to solar you already have.
Xcel's battery rebates don't apply to Holy Cross Energy meters.

El Jebel solar installation FAQs
Who issues the solar permit for a home in El Jebel?
As an unincorporated Eagle County community, El Jebel uses Eagle County's building department for building and electrical permits, and we take care of that paperwork from start to final inspection.
Which utility serves El Jebel?
El Jebel is Holy Cross Energy territory. Holy Cross runs its own interconnection review and member programs, so we work from its current rules, not Xcel's.
Can I add a battery to solar in El Jebel later?
You can. If you're thinking about storage, tell us at the start and we'll pick an inverter and layout that make adding a battery simple.
Can solar work on an older El Jebel roof?
Valley-floor homes in Eagle County get good sun but long winter shadows from the surrounding ridges. We model shade through December, when production is lowest, and size the array and battery with that in mind. We'll tell you plainly if solar doesn't make sense for your site.
