Solar power in Colorado has grown rapidly, partly because of one of the most favorable net metering laws in the country, with no limit on the number of users. Colorado was the first state where Dow introduced their solar shingles. General Electric is planning on building a solar panel plant in Aurora, Colorado, to produce 400 MW of thin film CdTe panels each year, but has delayed construction for at least 18 months with the drop in worldwide photovoltaics prices.

The largest solar installation company in the state is E Light Wind and Solar, followed by Quanta Power Generation and juwi solar.
