Your utility: Xcel Energy
Xcel's community lists name Pierce 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 Pierce
In Pierce, open lots and unshaded roofs make solar simple, and a battery covers the essentials in a wind storm. Batteries we install: Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4. They pair with new panels or with solar already on the roof.
For Xcel customers, Renewable Battery Connect currently pays $250 per kW of battery capacity, with a $5,000 maximum, on Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ systems.

Pierce solar installation FAQs
Who issues the solar permit for a home in Pierce?
Pierce 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 Pierce?
Xcel's community lists name Pierce 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 Pierce 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.
Is my Pierce roof a good fit for solar?
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.
