Boulder County launching discount solar program for businesses, property owners

BOULDER — Boulder County officials on Thursday announced that the county and its municipalities are partnering with Boulder-based Namaste Solar to launch a bulk-purchase solar deal for commercial property owners and businesses in owner-occupied buildings.

The aim is to make it easier and more affordable for businesses and property owners to add rooftop solar panels. The program is similar to one launched earlier this year to offer discounted solar installations to residents.

Partners for a Clean Environment, or PACE, and Namaste are partnering to provide group discounts on the solar installations, though the size of the discounts varies based on the size of each project.

In addition to the solar-panel discounts, Boulder County and the city of Boulder are offering a pool of at least $140,000 in rebates for projects that take part in the program, with up to $20,000 available for individual projects.

Property owners and businesses interested in the program must fill out and submit a nonbinding intent form by April 30.
