La Salle’s electric utility
The state’s utility-territory map places La Salle in Xcel Energy (Public Service Company of Colorado) territory. As an investor-owned utility, it banks exported solar as kWh credits that offset later use one-for-one.
Territory lines don’t follow town limits: parts of the La Salle area also fall in Poudre Valley Rural Electric Association territory. Check the name on your bill — we confirm it by address before designing anything.
Sun, snow and terrain in La Salle
Lower-elevation Colorado towns like La Salle (~4,680 ft) tend to have wide-open roofs and ground-mount space; the tradeoff is exposure to hail and wind, which we account for in equipment and attachment choices.
Getting a solar permit in La Salle
We handle permitting in La Salle end to end. Depending on the address, that means the town’s own building department, Weld County’s building office, or the State Electrical Board, which issues electrical permits in many smaller Colorado jurisdictions.
