Our previous homes were solar, my wife and I appreciate the environmental benefits of renewable energy. ADT Solar  has provided a seamless transition to solar power. What worked well was having a project manager that was able to coordinate all the various entities from the electric company to the HOA compliance. Thanks to a well organized team.

Are Solar Panels Worth it in Phoenix, AZ?

Solar Energy from Arizona’s Sunshine

As one of the sunniest cities in the US, Phoenix provides year-round sunshine your home’s solar energy system can always depend on.

Cost of Solar lower than ever

Thanks to the improvement of solar cells in the last decade, solar panels are more efficient and less costly than ever before. In fact, solar panel prices have fallen 11% over the last five years.

Protection from power blackouts

One reason homeowners make the switch to a solar power system is for the added protection during power outages. With a solar battery such as the Enphase Encharge, you can protect your home and family from the frustration and inconvenience of a power outage.

Rising Electricity Prices in Phoenix

While electric prices in Phoenix and surrounding areas of Arizona are just below the U.S. average, the state of Arizona as a whole ranks 2nd for highest electric rates in the country after California.

Unfortunately, prices in Phoenix and the rest of the U.S. are only expected to climb. In fact, residential electricity costs are projected to rise between 1.2% and 2.8% in 2021; continuing a decade-long streak in climbing prices for electricity.

Worse still, the fragile grid is only getting more delicate and increasing in demand. Climate change is requiring more power for heating and cooling. More electric cars are hitting the road. Meanwhile, the demand for residential electricity is increasing as more people continue working from home. It should come as no surprise that electricity costs are expected to rise dramatically.

With no alternative source of energy to power your home, you could be paying for electricity for the rest of your life — at higher rates every year. Or worse, whatever the electric company decides to charge. By contrast, the cost of solar is lower than ever before thanks to solar incentives.

Phoenix Arizona Solar Incentives, Rebates, & Tax Credit

If you’re a homeowner looking to install solar panels in Phoenix, then you’re in luck. Thanks to a number of solar incentives available to Phoenix residents, you can reduce the cost of your solar energy system with incentives such as a generous tax credit, tax exemptions, and rebate programs. There are a number of solar incentives available to Phoenix residents including:

• Federal Solar Tax Credit — Receive a 30% Federal Tax Credit from the United States government toward the entire cost of your solar panel installation; including a backup battery.
• Sales Tax Exemptions — Not only are your solar panels exempt from sales tax but your Renewable Energy Credits (REC’s) will also be exempt from sales tax assessments.
• Property Tax Exemptions and Assessments — Your solar panels in Phoenix will increase your home’s value and they’ll be exempt from property taxes. Even better, they will be significantly reduced in property tax assessments.
• Utility Rebate Programs — Homeowners in Phoenix who are also customers of Salt River Project (SRP) can receive rebates for energy efficient appliances and solar batteries.
• Net Billing — Sometimes your solar panels will produce more electricity than your home will need. Receive credits from the utility company for the excess energy produced by your panels.
• Solar Rights — The law in Maricopa County protects individual homeowners who want to install solar without interference from property deeds or neighborhood restrictions.

Federal Solar Tax Credit

The federal government of the United States is offering a 30% Solar Investment Tax Credit of the entire cost of your solar system, including a backup solar battery, to deduct from your federal taxes.*

The 30% tax credit applies as long as the home solar system is installed by December 31, 2032. The value of the tax credit will step down to 26% for projects installed in 2033 and 22% for projects installed in 2034. After 2034, the tax credit for residential solar ends.**

While this credit from the US government is available in Phoenix, an ADT Solar Specialist can help you take timely advantage of this incentive.

Phoenix Solar Tax Exemptions and Assessments

A substantial reason for solar being so affordable in Phoenix is the opportunity for tax exemptions on the sale of panels and on your property.

Let us explain:

Solar Sales Tax Exemption

If you’re worried about the cost of solar panels keeping you from installing panels on your roof, Phoenix has sales tax exemptions to help cut down the costs.

Your purchase of solar panels and equipment will be exempt from sales tax. Even better, Phoenix also exempts sales tax from being applied to renewable energy credits (RECs).

Property Tax Exemption

Another unique tax exemption in Phoenix is the energy equipment property tax exemption. This exemption means that your property taxes will not increase when you get solar panels installed on your home.

The property tax exemption that is offered statewide in Arizona applies to your rooftop solar panels as well as solar battery storage like the Tesla Powerwall or the Enphase Encharge. Produce solar with your panels and store the energy in your solar backup batteries. And when your property is assessed for tax purposes, your solar energy installation will be exempt.

Property Tax Assessment Incentive

When determining property tax, there are incentives for businesses and even utilities who incorporate solar panels into their facilities.

Solar energy equipment and other renewable energy equipment owned by commercial and municipal entities in Phoenix are assessed at just 20% of the “taxable original cost” after depreciation is deducted.

Is the Arizona Solar Energy Credit Available in Phoenix?

The answer is a resounding, yes! Arizona’s Solar Energy Credit is available to individual taxpayers who install a solar at their home or residence in Phoenix.

This incentive for going solar in Phoenix makes for an amazing income tax credit. Offering just the right boost, Arizona’s solar energy credit is equal to 25% of the cost of your solar system, up to $1,000 regardless of the amount of solar energy devices.

You can even carry over the excess credit to the next year should you owe less in income taxes than the credit amount. In fact, you can carry unused credits for up to five years!

Does Phoenix Have Net Metering?

In 2016, the state of Arizona replaced its net metering law with something called, net billing. Also referred to as a feed-in tariff, net billing means that you receive a credit from the utility company for the excess energy you export to the grid from your solar panels.

Here’s a quick point of difference between net billing and net metering: the credits you receive from the utility company do not have to necessarily equal the retail rate for energy. Even though the rate is determined by the electric company, net billing means that you receive credits on the energy you aren’t using.

The way we see it, it’s better than paying for the energy you aren’t using.

Which Phoenix Utilities Offer Solar Rebates?

Salt River Project (SRP) offers the predominant solar rebate of all the utility companies in the Phoenix area. SRP’s Battery Storage Incentive Program is designed to encourage residential SRP customers to add a battery storage system to their homes. In return, SRP will give you up to $3600!

Keep in mind that this incentive has been in place since 2018, and it has a cap of 4,500 customers. The first-come, first-serve basis means you need to act fast if you want the rebate.

Adding a battery makes it easy to store unused or extra energy from your solar panels. With this rebate from SRP, you have the opportunity to pay bottom dollar for your battery. With the right net billing in place, you could end up with a noticeable payout.

Important Note: This program works with all SRP residential electric price plans except for M-Power.

Solar Rights in Phoenix and Maricopa County

A common concern for homeowners, solar restrictions, shade coverage limiting the size, placement or production might have you worried about the solar system you want to install.

In Arizona, and specifically Maricopa County, the law protects the property rights of individual homeowners who want access to solar. The law dissolves any local agreement, unreasonable restriction, or deed of a property that makes it difficult to use or produce solar energy.

As a solar homeowner in Phoenix, it’s encouraging to know that the local and state governments support and defend your decision to power your home with clean renewable energy.

How Do I Choose A Solar Company in Phoenix?

Choosing a solar contractor for your area can be intimidating, which is why it’s helpful to remember the three most important tips when choosing a solar panel company.

1. Warranties: Make sure the company you’re choosing has warranties in place. Not only on the labor but products as well. That way you know you and your investment are protected in the years to come.
2. Reputation: Read reviews about the company you’re choosing. While you’ll see a bad review here and there (just the nature of open reviews), make sure a large majority of the reviews aren’t negative and state the same problems over and over. That’s a clear indicator of a company to stay clear of, no matter how well known their name is.
3. Expertise: Choose a reputable company that’s been in the game for a while that can provide a number of certifications. Again, this way you are sure to protect your investment with a company that will continue to be there for you in the years to come.
