Solar*Rewards®
With your own on-site solar installation, you can generate some or all of the electricity your home uses. You may even be able to sell what your home doesn’t need to your electric utility! Annual payments from Xcel Energy are made to the owner of the solar system, based on the amount of electricity your system produces.
As of April 2021, Xcel Energy has exceeded the number of applications for the 2021 Solar*Rewards program year and has implemented a waitlist.
