Going solar in La Salle
La Salle is a Weld County town on US 85 just south of Evans and Greeley, with about 2,300 residents. Nearly all homes are detached, and most are owner-occupied. The Census Bureau's 2020–2024 estimates show about 2,300 residents in La Salle; most homes are owner-occupied detached houses.
Incorporated towns like La Salle each set their own rules for solar permits. We confirm the current process with the town before we file, so you're not waiting on a surprise review.
Your utility: Xcel Energy
Xcel's community lists name La Salle for electric service. 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.
Wind, hail and open roofs
Short winter days are offset by long, clear summer ones on the Weld plains. We size to your usage across the year and place the array on the roof planes with the least obstruction.
Battery backup in La Salle
La Salle's detached homes on open lots are a good fit for solar, and a battery adds backup for plains wind storms. Our crews are certified on Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4; adding a battery to an existing system is a common job for us.
On an Xcel meter, a Tesla Powerwall or Enphase IQ battery can qualify for Renewable Battery Connect, which pays $250 per kW up to $5,000.

La Salle solar installation FAQs
Who issues the solar permit for a home in La Salle?
La Salle is an incorporated town, so it sets its own permit process; some small Colorado towns handle building review in house and others contract it out. We confirm the issuing office for your address and file the solar and electrical permits for you.
Which utility serves La Salle?
Xcel's community lists name La Salle for electric service. Xcel notes it does not always serve an entire community, so we confirm the provider on your bill first. Xcel limits a new system to 120% of your previous 12 months of use, and we size the array to fit that rule.
Can I add a battery to solar in La Salle later?
Yes. We can design the system battery-ready now and add storage later, or add a battery to solar you already have after checking the inverter, panel and ownership. Leased systems need the lease terms reviewed first.
What if my La Salle roof is shaded or steep?
Weld County towns get long, unshaded plains sun along with wind and hail. We design with hail-rated panels, wind-rated racking and short, clean conduit runs. We'll tell you plainly if solar doesn't make sense for your site.
