2018 XCEL ENERGY SOLAR REWARDS PROGRAMSelling energy back to the grid will off-set the cost of your new solar array!

As of January 2018, Xcel Energy is launching a new rewards program for customers who add solar panels to their homes and commercial buildings. Yes, Xcel will actually pay YOU for the excess electricity you produce. So how do you get started? First, determine if your home or business is optimal for a solar installation by contacting Cedar Creek Energy. We will schedule a no-obligation site visit to discuss if your home or commercial building is a good candidate for solar. In addition, Cedar Creek Energy will work directly with Xcel Energy to complete the forms and paperwork necessary to create a Solar Rewards Account and submit your application.

WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO ACT NOW?The Xcel Energy Solar Rewards Program will offset the cost of installing your PV solar system by 8 cents per kWh produced by your system in excess of what you are using. Depending on the size of your solar array, this incentive alone can add up to thousands of dollars per year. Once your application is accepted, you will reap the rewards of this program for 10 years. The great news is that Xcel Energy has significantly expanded production goals from 4.6 MW to 13.7 MW, an expansion of close to 300%, allowing you to potentially sell even more electricity back to the grid.

WHILE YOU’RE AT IT: SWITCH TO LED LIGHTSBuilding a new solar array offers an added energy savings opportunity: to install LED Lighting throughout your home or commercial building. In general, businesses spend between 30-40% of their energy costs on lighting. LED lighting takes 75 – 90% less energy. Maximize your investment in solar energy by improving the overall efficiency of your lighting. Retrofitting your lighting is a logical next step to going solar. No one wants to waste valuable solar energy on old fashioned incandescent or fluorescent light bulbs.
