Incentives for homeowners to make the switch to solar have historically been offered at the federal, state, and local Arizona utilities levels.

Through the Inflation Reduction Act signed into law on August 16, 2022, the 30% solar tax credit that previously ended in 2021 was reinstated for all residential solar installations through 2032. This higher 30% rate is also retroactive to 2022 solar installations that were previously subject to the 26% rate.

The N.C. Clean Energy Technology Center, funded by the U.S. Department of Energy, at N.C. State University has created one of the most comprehensive systems in the country to search and learn about information on incentives and policies that support renewables and energy efficiency. This system is called DSIRE© and it allows information to be easily filtered by state. Information on this site is constantly updated, making it straightforward to those applying for incentives, as the current requirements are clearly listed.
