What is the 30% residential federal solar tax credit?
The 30% federal solar tax credit (25D) allows homeowners to deduct 30% of the total cost of their solar installation from their federal taxes. However, with the passing of the One Big Beautiful Bill Act, this incentive is scheduled to end after December 31, 2025. 👉 Read More: "Your Guide to Securing the 30% Solar Tax Credit Before It Ends”.
What happens after the 30% tax credit expires in 2026?
Starting January 1, 2026, the residential federal solar tax credit (25D) ends, and no credit will be allowed for expenditures after Dec. 31, 2025. You may still take advantage of other types of credits. To read more about what this means for Grand Junction homeowners, read, “30% Federal Solar Tax Credit Ending Soon: What Does This Mean?”
Are there any other solar incentives in Colorado?
Yes! In addition to the federal tax credit, Colorado residents may qualify for local or utility-specific rebates, property tax exemptions, and net metering benefits. These programs vary by location, so we’ll help you identify and apply for every savings opportunity available.

How long will my solar panels last?
Most modern solar panels are built to last 25–30 years or more. With regular maintenance and monitoring, you can expect decades of reliable energy production and long-term return on your investment.
How long does a typical installation take?
You can often expect to see your panels up and running in 2–3 business days. We’ll guide you through design, permitting, and scheduling to keep things on track.
Do solar panels increase the value of my home in Colorado?
Yes, studies and local data show that homes with solar panels tend to sell for a premium, often around 4% more than comparable homes without solar in Colorado.
Are you locally owned?
Yes! We are based out of Grand Junction, Colorado.
How long have you been servicing Colorado?
Along with our experience in solar, we’re also an electrical company. Combined, we’ve been servicing western Colorado for 20+ years.
How do your prices compare to competitors?
We do NOT employ a sales team. For other solar companies, in some cases, 20% of the total cost goes to the salesperson. In that scenario, the customer pays the expense. We also do not outsource electricians. These two factors alone make our pricing extremely competitive. We will also work with you on custom payment plans as needed.
Is SolarWorks insured?
Yes! We staff master electricians and journeymen, so you can rest assured that your solar system is installed to the highest quality. We are fully insured to protect your investment and ours.
Does SolarWorks offer real-time monitoring of my entire solar array?
Yes. You can conveniently monitor every single panel individually from your phone.
