Xcel Energy Solar Rewards in Colorado
Disproportionately Impacted Communities Program Guide
In Colorado, access to clean energy is not on some distant horizon, but here today. Solar accessibility is looking brighter than ever, especially for communities facing the burden of rising energy costs. The Xcel Energy Solar Rewards program for Disproportionately Impacted Communities (DI-Communities) in Colorado is leading the charge in making solar energy more accessible and affordable for those in our local community who need it most.
Solar Power Pros believes in the importance of leaving no person behind. We can help you determine if you are eligible for the program, along with other cost-saving incentives, and manage every step of your installation process.

What is the DI-Community Program?
This DI-Community program aims to empower disproportionately impacted communities by offering substantial rebates for installing solar energy systems. This initiative not only supports eligible Colorado residents in lowering their electricity bills but also contributes to a cleaner environment.
How Does the Program Work?
If you power your home with solar panels (what the program refers to as “on-site solar”) and meet specific eligibility criteria, you can earn money back for surplus electricity generated beyond what you consume. Eligible participants may receive an upfront rebate of $1 per watt of installed solar, up to a maximum of $7,000 for a system size of 7 kilowatts (kW). This rebate can significantly offset the initial costs of going solar, making it more affordable.
Funds Depleted for Solar PV, Get Your Battery Rebate While it Lasts!
While Xcel’s program funding has currently run out for solar PV projects this year, funding is still available for the DI-Community battery rebate. You could save up to $9,200 per battery depending on eligibility and equipment. The sooner you get started, the better to ensure you get the most out of eligible solar incentives.
Who Qualifies for the Xcel Energy Solar Rewards DI-Community Program?
To qualify, your residence must be located in a Disproportionately Impacted Community (DI-Community), as identified on the EnviroScreen map developed by the Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment. People living in the areas identified meet specific demographic income, race, and housing burden factors. These communities typically face higher environmental burdens and are often affected by pollution and climate change impacts. By focusing on these areas, the program ensures that clean energy benefits are distributed equitably across the state.
Criteria for Qualification
- You must be an Xcel Energy customer.
- Your account address must be located in a DI-Community, as identified in the EnviroScreen Map.
- Your account address must be located in a census block group with an EnviroScreen score in the top 20 percent, as identified in the EnviroScreen map, to demonstrate this factor.
Benefits of Participation: Savings and Beyond
Participating in this program not only provides a significant financial incentive–up to a $7,000 rebate for eligible residents–but also allows you to be an active participant in building community resilience and contributing to cleaner air and water for Colorado. It’s no secret that solar provides a cleaner energy option when compared to fossil fuels. By reducing energy bills and protecting against future rate hikes, solar power offers long-term economic benefits while promoting more sustainable living for all.
How Much Can You Save with Solar?
Did you know that the Xcel Energy Solar Rewards DI-Community incentive program can be combined with other incentives for a significant reduction in solar costs? Depending on your solar needs and eligibility, you could save up to 81% off the total cost of your solar project. Flexible $0 money down financing options are available, as well. A custom solar estimate gives you the intel up front to decide whether solar is right for you.
