In 2020, homeowners typically spent between $10,000 and $20,000 to buy a solar panel system, but it may cost more or less depending on incentives, the size of your system, the type of equipment you install, and the company you move forward with. There are currently no state-wide incentives for solar. Visit the Colorado Energy Office website<\/a> for the latest details.<\/p>\n The Investment Tax Credit (ITC) allows you to deduct a portion of the install costs of your solar energy systems from your federal taxes. The process for claiming the tax credit is straightforward, requiring the completion of the 2-page\u202fIRS Form 5965, but not everyone is eligible. YVEA recommends consulting with a tax accountant to verify eligibility.
