Dear Solar Ally, I don't make the decision to contact you lightly, but I want to fill you in on Xcel's plans for Colorado's solar industry. Rooftop solar is a classic Colorado success story–it's creating jobs across the state and empowering Coloradans like you to save money while reducing fossil fuel consumption. But Xcel wants to stop solar's progress in its tracks. The utility's strategy is to attack net metering policy, which gives solar customers fair credit for the surplus electricity their solar panels return to the grid for neighbors to consume. To help explain what's happening, we created this video: Please share this video on facebook, twitter, or email-- we want everyone engaged in the fight to protect the state's solar industry. Xcel is about to mount a PR campaign against solar, and they're going to talk a lot about 'fairness'. But it's not surprising that a monopoly's idea of fairness is very different from what's fair to the people of Colorado. Let's get the conversation started on our terms. Please watch and share this video, and let us know what you think about it. We'll be in touch with updates as they occur. Thank you, Lyndon Rive CEO, SolarCity

I have IREA - they simply dont have any subsidies nor do they show any desire to implement them in the future - and pretend to not care of state legislation. BTW - net metering isnt enough from what I understand - U need Net metering and Time-of-Use combined - IREA doesnt have capabilities to do so - apparently special meter is needed and they simply dont have it - what a joke
