Going solar in Tabernash
Tabernash is an unincorporated Fraser Valley community on US 40 between Fraser and Granby, with mountain homes on larger lots.
As an unincorporated Grand County community, Tabernash uses Grand County's building department for building and electrical permits, and we take care of that paperwork from start to final inspection.
Your utility: Mountain Parks Electric
Mountain Parks Electric, the co-op that serves all of Grand County, provides electricity in Tabernash, so Xcel programs don't apply. We follow MPE's interconnection process and check its current member programs before quoting.
Designing for Grand County winters
Cold, clear Grand County days are good for panel output, but snow and short winter days lower production. We size the array to your MPE bills and the sun your roof gets in winter.
Battery backup in Tabernash
Tabernash winters are long and cold, so backup for heat and freeze protection is usually the first thing a homeowner asks about. Batteries we install: Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4. They pair with new panels or with solar already on the roof.
Xcel's battery rebates don't apply to Mountain Parks Electric meters.
