Paoli’s electric utility
According to the Colorado Energy Office’s utility-territory map, Paoli is served by Highline Electric Association, an electric cooperative that pays for excess generation at an avoided-cost rate well below retail.
As always, the utility printed on your bill beats any map; we verify it by address before quoting.
Sun, snow and terrain in Paoli
Lower-elevation Colorado towns like Paoli (~3,890 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.
Who approves solar in Paoli
Permits for solar in Paoli come from whichever office holds building and electrical authority for your address — the town, Phillips County, or, in many smaller Colorado jurisdictions, the State Electrical Board for electrical permits. We identify the right office and pull the permits as part of the job.
