Permits in Gypsum run through the town's own process. We check with the town which office reviews solar and battery work, file the application and schedule the inspections.
Your utility: Holy Cross Energy
Holy Cross Energy, the member-owned electric co-op for the Eagle and Roaring Fork valleys, serves Gypsum. 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
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.
Battery backup in Gypsum
Newer Gypsum homes often have open, unshaded roofs, which makes them strong candidates for solar with a battery added. We're certified on Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4, whether you're adding storage now, later, or to an older system.
Xcel's battery rebates don't apply to Holy Cross Energy meters.

Gypsum solar installation FAQs
Who issues the solar permit for a home in Gypsum?
Permits in Gypsum run through the town's own process. We check with the town which office reviews solar and battery work, file the application and schedule the inspections.
Which utility serves Gypsum?
Gypsum 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 Gypsum later?
Yes, and it's a common plan. We note where a battery would go during the solar design and confirm the equipment will work with the brands we install.
Do you offer ground mounts in Gypsum?
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.
