Colorado Solar for All
Funding to expand solar energy and save Coloradans money.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) awarded Colorado $156 million through its “Solar for All” competition, which was established by the federal Inflation Reduction Act of 2022. The Colorado Solar for All (COS4A) program will help accelerate widespread adoption of rooftop and community solar in Colorado, moving Colorado closer to the goal of 100% clean energy by 2040 while improving air quality, lowering energy bills, and increasing energy independence.
Funding Overview
Type: TBD
Eligibility: Low-income Colorado residents via competitively selected project partners
Amount: $156 million total
Match: TBD
Application Rounds: TBD
Colorado Solar for All (COS4A) is an income-qualified program that will support all three solar installation types described in the EPA’s program application guidance: single family rooftop solar, multifamily rooftop solar, and community solar (for residential subscribers). The program will work with competitively selected, industry-leading partners to deliver, install, operate, and manage the solar assets.
This program is currently in development. The Colorado Energy Office will work as quickly as possible to implement the program and communicate progress. However, Colorado, like most states, will take a year to plan for and launch the program.
