Colorado to become major solar producer

Greg Koss, owner of Colorado-based solar power systems installer Adobe Solar, believes Colorado has the potential to become a major solar producer within the next decade.

Although Koss recognises that its success is dependent upon many factors, he says the continued support of the Obama Administration will have a huge role to play.

‘The Obama administration has already begun taking steps toward further promoting solar by providing a 30 per cent federal grant to businesses wishing to go solar, and proposing federal renewable energy portfolio standards as well as possible tax on carbon emissions . We expect that the Federal solar grant is only the beginning of things to come for this administration, and as the prices of solar power continue to fall, we will continue to realise more and more clean solar energy production for Colorado,’ Koss said.

With growing attention on solar energy and alternative energy sources, Adobe Solar believes it is only a matter of time before more states adopt renewable energy programmes similar to those seen in Colorado.
