Serving farms, ranches, and acreage homes across all of Colorado

Rural & agricultural solar

You already harvest the sun. Now get paid for it.

Ground mounts in the back forty. Panels on the shop roof. Power for the well, the pivot, the barn, and the house. Colorado Sun Harvest connects rural property owners with installers who do this kind of work — not suburban rooftop crews.

What we size for

Rural loads aren't household loads.

⌁

Wells & pumps

Submersible pumps and pressure systems run around the clock. Size the array for them and watch the bill fall.

⌂

Shops & barns

Big, unshaded metal roofs are ideal for solar. Often better than the house.

◎

Irrigation

Center pivots and ag meters can be offset with dedicated arrays under many co-op programs.

▦

Ground mounts

No roof penetrations, perfect tilt, easy snow clearing. If you've got the land, this is usually the answer.

Tell us about the place.

Acreage, outbuildings, what's drawing power. We'll route your request to a licensed Colorado installer who works rural properties and your utility.

Not sure what you need? That's fine. A ZIP and a rough monthly bill are enough to start.

Incentives for rural Colorado

More programs than a city house gets.

30% federal tax credit

Applies to residential systems. Commercial and ag systems may qualify for the business credit plus accelerated depreciation.

USDA REAP grants

Rural Energy for America grants can cover a meaningful share of a working farm's or rural small business's system. Installers in our network have done the paperwork.

State & co-op programs

No state sales tax on equipment, property-tax exemption on added value, and many Colorado electric co-ops offer their own rebates or net-metering.

Program rules change. Your installer and tax advisor will confirm what you qualify for.

Questions from the field

Asked a lot.

My service is a long way from the house. Does that matter?

Not much. Ground mounts can sit near the meter or near the load; the installer runs the design and trenching. Long runs are routine on rural work.

Can one system cover more than one meter?

Depends on your utility. Some Colorado co-ops allow meter aggregation; others require a system per meter. Your installer will know your co-op's rules.

What about hail?

Modern panels are rated for 1-inch hail at high speed and many carry warranties covering it. Ground mounts can also be tilted steeper to shed hail and snow.
