Helping Boise Get Maximum Solar Savings with No Upfront Costs Solar Is The New Booming Crop in Boise The city of Boise has decided: clean, safe and renewable energy is the future. Over the past year, Boise has had hundreds of residential solar installations. Outdoor and nature loving residents want to keep the air clean and the environment flourishing. But there’s another reason people are installing solar panels systems. Boise and surrounding area homeowners are saving big on utility bills. Solar cuts down the amount you pay for electricity from Idaho Power. You produce the electricity your home needs and the surplus energy goes back into the power grid.
