Going solar in Valmont
Valmont is a tiny unincorporated area on the plains east of Boulder, near Valmont Road and the Gunbarrel and Niwot areas, with only a couple dozen residents.
Permits for Valmont homes come from Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting, since the community is unincorporated. We handle the drawings, the filing and the inspections.
Your utility: Xcel Energy
Xcel's community lists name Valmont as a service community. We still check your bill, because Xcel says it doesn't serve every address in every listed community. Once that's confirmed, we design within Xcel's 120% sizing limit and handle the interconnection application.
Battery backup in Valmont
Out on open ground east of Boulder, Valmont homes usually have clear, unshaded roofs and room for a battery in a garage or shop. Batteries we install: Enphase, Tesla Powerwall, Franklin and EG4. They pair with new panels or with solar already on the roof.
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.

Valmont solar installation FAQs
Who issues the solar permit for a home in Valmont?
As an unincorporated Boulder County community, Valmont uses Boulder County Community Planning & Permitting for building and electrical permits, and we take care of that paperwork from start to final inspection.
Which utility serves Valmont?
Xcel's community lists name Valmont as a service community. After we confirm the account, we file the Xcel interconnection paperwork and size the system to no more than 120% of what the home used over the last year, as Xcel requires.
Can solar work on an older Valmont roof?
Open ground east and south of the foothills gets long, unshaded sun and plenty of wind and hail. We use racking rated for local wind loads, choose panels with strong hail ratings and keep conduit runs clean and short. We'll tell you plainly if solar doesn't make sense for your site.
