Solar energy rebates available in Boulder County

City and county government in Boulder and Boulder County will make energy rebates available to businesses and nonprofits with commercial meters if they install solar power. The rebates total $1 per installed watt of solar.

The grants are part of a program called Partners for a Clean Environment. According to a report in the Longmont Daily Times-Call, $330,000 is available in the city of Boulder and $70,000 elsewhere in the county. Boulder funds are greater because the city also contributes to the effort.
