Who powers Wray
According to the Colorado Energy Office’s utility-territory map, Wray is served by City of Wray (municipal electric), a town-owned utility that sets its own export rules, which we confirm directly before designing.
We still confirm the utility from your bill, since service territories are drawn along lines and substations rather than street grids.
What Wray’s setting means for panels
Wray’s elevation (about 3,520 ft) puts it on the lower, open side of Colorado — long unshaded sun hours, with hail and wind as the conditions we engineer around.
Getting a solar permit in Wray
Permits for solar in Wray come from whichever office holds building and electrical authority for your address — the town, Yuma 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.
