Those of us lucky enough to call Grand County home know that we are rich in an abundance of natural resources: clean air, majestic mountains, clear lakes and rivers, and world-class outdoor recreational opportunities. What many people do not know is that we are also blessed with some of the best and most affordable solar energy resources in the country. Those pictures you see of solar developments in the desert? They may get a lot of sun, but high temperatures can reduce their power output by 25%. Solar panels actually work best in colder sunny climates and at higher altitudes: places like Grand County Colorado.
Even better, solar power is getting cheaper and cheaper. Today, it is possible to get residential solar panels installed for less than half the cost compared to 10 years ago, with the lifetime electricity savings paying for the panels several times over. With the falling costs of solar, we've seen an increase in the number of homes and businesses in the area installing systems. Perhaps you, too, have seen someone in your neighborhood decide to "go solar" recently.
This site exists to help people in Grand County and our neighboring communities take advantage of our excellent renewable energy resources and stay up-to-date on renewable energy goings-on.
