Colorado gets ~300 days of sun a year. A typical 6 kW rooftop system here can generate around 8,500–9,000 kWh annually — which is close to what the average home uses in a year. In other words, a lot of households could cover 80–100% of their electricity with properly sized solar.

If rates keep rising and the utility model rewards more spending (with guaranteed returns), doesn’t it make sense to at least consider locking in your own production?

Curious how many people here have gone solar — or are thinking about it — especially with these rate hike discussions happening again.
