Small-scale solar, including customer-owned photovoltaic panels, delivered an additional net 1,703 GWh to Colorado's electricity grid in 2023. This compares as about one-half the amount generated by the state's utility-scale photovoltaic plants. [1] In 2004, Colorado became the first state with a voter-approved renewable portfolio standard (RPS).
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. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] The state was the first in the nation to establish a Renewable Portfolio Standard for its electric utilities .
[7] [8] This beat the previous record of 47.1%, set in 2019 by multi-junction concentrator solar cells developed at National Renewable Energy Laboratory (NREL), Golden, Colorado, USA, [9] which was set in lab conditions, under extremely concentrated light. The record in real-world conditions is held by NREL, who developed triple junction cells ...

Colorado voters approved Amendment 37 which required the state's largest utilities to obtain 3 percent of their electricity from renewable energy resources by 2007, and 10 percent by 2015. [7] More recently, in 2010, the state approved a renewable portfolio standard that requires 30% of the state's electricity to come from renewable sources by ...
2019 – The world record for solar cell efficiency at 47.1% was achieved by using multi-junction concentrator solar cells, developed at National Renewable Energy Laboratory, Golden, Colorado, USA. [43] [additional citation(s) needed] This is above the standard rating of 37% for polycrystalline photovoltaic or thin-film solar cells as of 2018.
