Our solar gardens are located right here in Colorado, supporting the community.
Solar energy goes directly into the Xcel Energy grids, replacing carbon energy.
Neighborhood Sun is your friendly, clean energy, social enterprise with a mission to empower neighborhoods to choose local, community solar.
For us, community solar is not just an opportunity to bring affordable renewable to everyone, but it is our commitment to building wealth, health, and jobs for our community members and future generations.
Since 2017, our company's mission has been to serve our people and the planet by making clean, affordable energy accessible to all– not just the select few.
That's why we decided to become a Certified B Corp--a designation to meet the highest standards of verified social and environmental performance, public transparency, and legal accountability to balance profit and purpose.

The New Way of Doing It
The Old Way of Doing It
Community Solar is a local energy option that makes solar power available to renters and homeowners with no up-front costs or expensive solar panels. Our community solar gardens across Colorado generate power from the sun and deliver it into the Xcel Energy power grids.
Your Xcel Energy account will be linked to Neighborhood Sun. This generates solar credits on your Xcel Energy bill, reducing the amount you owe to Xcel Energy – and you’ll save with up to a 10% discount from Neighborhood Sun for those credits.
Do I need to own my home or apartment to participate?
No solar panels or installations necessary. It’s simple to get started with no additional sign-up fees.
It’s free to enroll, with no upfront costs. If you choose to cancel for any reason, or move out of Xcel Energy’s service area, there’s no fee to cancel.
You’ll save up to 10% on your monthly electricity costs when you pay with a credit or debit card, check or auto debit from your bank. Either way, your savings are guaranteed.
You’ll receive your electronic gift card within five to seven weeks after account verification. We will send your gift card to the email address you provided during enrollment.
Nothing. You’ll continue to have an account with Xcel Energy, and start to save money.
Yes, your Xcel Energy bill will show a credit for the solar energy allocated to you. There is no change to your Xcel Energy service. You’ll receive a monthly statement from Neighborhood Sun listing your discounted cost of electricity and how much money you’ve saved each month.
Your existing utility account number can be found on your Xcel Energy utility bill or by signing into your utility account online.
No, Neighborhood Sun is a community solar acquisition and management organization, which is not the same as a third-party retail energy supplier. Instead, Neighborhood Sun provides solar electricity to your utility company and you get a credit for the value of the electricity generated on your behalf. Your discount is also guaranteed for up to 20 years, unlike retail energy suppliers who offer short-term savings and can change rates often.
There is none. Xcel Energy remains your electric company. As a member of Neighborhood Sun, you’ll simply receive monthly savings automatically.
