“What does sustainability mean to you and how do you achieve it?”.
AS PART OF OUR OUR COMMITMENT TO A SUSTAINABLE FUTURE,
WE HAVE GIVEN AWAY A FREE PV SOLAR ENERGY SYSTEM
THE ANSWER THAT WON:
“What does sustainability mean to you and how do you achieve it?”
THE WINNER IS:
PAIGE HUTCHINSON
HERE’S PAIGE’S WINNING ANSWER:
“Sustainability is paying attention to every flip of the switch, every drop that comes out of the hose, every bit of trash that goes in the bin. It’s every product we buy, where did it come from? How did it get here? How is it packaged?
Sustainability is teaching others young and old how to do better, be more mindful and make better choices.
We achieve this by setting the example for family, friends and neighbors. We try to show not just tell.”
Why Go Solar?
Solar is a Smart Investment
Not only does solar help reduce your carbon footprint, it is also a smart investment. The average return on investment for solar PV systems in Colorado is 8.25 years, which leaves 16.25 years of energy savings after you break-even!
Levelized Cost of Energy
Energy costs increase over time. After installing solar you get the net value credit for what your solar system produces. As energy rates continue to increase, the energy produced by solar is not affected by the rising costs of electricity.
Increase The Value Of Your Home
Studies have shown that homes with solar systems are valued and sold at higher prices than similar homes in their area without solar. Early studies focused on established solar markets found that home values increase by four percent or more when equipped with solar panels, and tend to sell faster than comparable homes in the marketplace.
Colorado Is Sharpening The Cutting Edge
Colorado’s Renewable Portfolio Standard (RPS) requires all investor-owned utilities to generate 30% of their electricity from renewable energy by 2020. The RPS also guides investor owned utilities to provide rebates and incentives in order to help reach their required goal. The Colorado’s RPS combined with Federal Tax Credits make Colorado perfect for sustainable energy.
Holy Cross Energy provides safe, reliable, affordable and sustainable energy and services that improve the quality of life for our members and their communities.
