Going solar in Floyd Hill
Floyd Hill is a foothills community on I-70 in eastern Clear Creek County, between the Evergreen exit and Idaho Springs, where nearly every home is an owner-occupied detached house on a hillside lot.
Floyd Hill is unincorporated Clear Creek County, so solar and battery permits go through Clear Creek County's building department. We prepare the plans, file the application and meet the inspector.
Your utility: CORE Electric Cooperative
CORE Electric Cooperative serves Floyd Hill, and Xcel's list marks Floyd Hill for gas only. CORE offers net metering for systems up to 10 kW AC, rolls excess credit month to month and settles an annual true-up. We follow CORE's interconnection process.
Designing for the foothills
Clear Creek County foothills homes deal with steep lots, tall pines and heavy wind. We map shade, engineer racking for the local snow and wind loads and look at ground mounts on lots with open slopes.
Battery backup in Floyd Hill
Floyd Hill is CORE territory, so Xcel's battery rebates don't apply, but the case for backup on a windy foothill ridge still holds. Our crews are certified on Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4; adding a battery to an existing system is a common job for us.
Xcel's battery rebates don't apply to CORE Electric Cooperative meters.

Can I add a battery to solar in Floyd Hill 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 Floyd Hill roof?
Many foothills homes here are on wells and long driveways, and winter access matters. We stage the install for the season, engineer for snow and wind, and keep panels away from snow-slide paths. We'll tell you plainly if solar doesn't make sense for your site.
