Myth Busting: Free Solar Panels in Colorado

Why are these ads promising free solar panels?

While not exactly a scam, these ads talking about free solar panels are extremely misleading. Most often these ads are from national contractors who don’t want you to get a bid from a local solar company like us. Let’s get into some of the details and do some myth busting!

Misleading claim #1: You can get “free solar panels” or go solar with “no cost”.

Reality check: If you do click on these ads, you’ll find that the no cost solar they are talking about is really $0 down financing. This is something that most installers – including us – will offer. We have multiple financing offers through multiple lenders so that you can go solar without any money up front and start building equity in your solar system now.

Misleading claim #2: You can get paid to go solar.

Reality check: No one is going to cut you a check for the full cost of a solar system, but there are incentives to go solar. The largest incentive is the 30% federal tax credit. This credit is available to any homeowner that purchases a solar panel system and reduces the cost of your system by a full 30%! If your city or utility offer other incentives that you’re eligible for, we’ll include that in your free quote. As a local installer that has been in business since 2005, we know the ins and outs of Colorado solar better than anyone.

Misleading claim #3: They know a “secret” that solar installers don’t want you to know about.

Reality check: As intriguing as that sounds, there is no secret to saving money with solar. A great solar panel system installed by experienced technicians from a company that will provide you with long-term support costs real money but can also be a really smart investment. If you want to go solar, Namaste Solar is the top Colorado solar installer for a number of reasons: we’re fully local, we’re employee-owned, we’re a Certified B Corp, and we’ve been doing this since 2005.

Don’t feel discouraged about solar!

We get it. It sounded like a great deal and an exciting opportunity to get free solar panels for your home. But don’t be discouraged – solar could still be a great deal for you! While you can’t get free solar panels in Colorado, you can go solar with $0 down financing. While there are no secret programs for free solar panels, there is an incredible 30% tax credit available right now that can amount to $10,000 savings on the average system price. And while there isn’t an option for “no cost” solar, solar does pay for itself over time.

The Namaste Solar install team was fantastic. Everything, 21 REC 420 panels and Tesla Power 3, was installed in 2.5 days. All 4 team members, Eileen, Andrew, Frankie and Aden worked hard to make the whole project a success. Three weeks after the install, the permission to operate (PTO) was granted by Xcel Energy. That is very fast considering it could take twice as long to get the PTO.The whole system has been up since then. Everything worked as expected. Even though our house did not have any west facing panels due to shading, the whole system generated more power than the usage by the house. In summary, my house exported more energy to the grid than the amount imported from the grid.The Tesla Powerwall 3 provided the power backup in case of a power outage. The Tesla app provided the realtime energy monitoring for the whole system. At any given time, it shows the amount of power produced by the solar panels, the amount used by the house and the amount exported to or imported from the grid.I would highly recommend Namaste Solar to anyone who is considering adding solar panels with or without Powerwall 3 to their house.

Namaste Solar was a pleasure to work with from their sales team, to design team, and ultimately install crew. I would strongly recommend considering Namaste Solar for your renewable energy needs!
