About Solar United Neighbors of Colorado

We are Coloradans who demand our right to go solar. Solar ensures energy freedom, creates good local jobs, and makes the electric grid resilient.

Our vision

We envision a clean, equitable energy system that directs control and benefits back to local communities, with solar on every roof and money in every pocket.

Our mission

We’re a community of people building a new energy system and rooftop solar is the cornerstone. We help people go solar, join together, and fight for their energy rights.

Our statewide partners

Our statewide partners help us spread the solar word and range from nonprofits and municipal governments, to universities, community organizations, and houses of worship, and individual “super volunteers.”

Some of our awesome partners in Colorado include:

Colorado advisory board

Our Colorado Advisory Board is made up of solar supporters from around the state. Each member brings a unique background and area of expertise to help more Coloradans go solar.
