Solar Incentives At A Glance

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

• Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC): 26% through 2020
• State of Arizona Tax Credit: $1,000
• Utility Rebate: Varies by provider and subject to change without notice

$1,000 Arizona Solar Tax Credit

At the state level in Arizona, not only is there is no sales tax charged, but you can receive a state income tax credit of up to $1,000 for a solar purchase.

Like the federal ITC, in order to qualify for the Arizona solar tax incentive, your system must be installed and commissioned before the end of the tax year you wish to file for.

Where to Find Solar Incentives

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.

Solar systems are a great addition for Arizona homeowners to consider as the benefits more than likely outweigh the costs. Solar power reduces cost, encourages and supports green-living in your community and enhances your overall lifestyle. Be sure to speak with a residential solar system expert to learn more about the solar incentives available to you.
