Solar in Mesa

Is solar worth it in Mesa in 2026?

For most Mesa homeowners, yes. Mesa's long, hot summers keep the AC running from spring into fall, and Arizona still offers a state tax credit plus property and sales tax exemptions. Most Mesa homes are on SRP, which credits exported solar at a low rate, so we size your system around the power your home actually uses.

Your utility

SRP or Mesa Electric: what it means in Mesa

Most Mesa homes are on SRP, while a small area around downtown is served by the city's own utility. Knowing which one you have is the first step in sizing your system.

SRP homes

SRP credits energy you export at a rate it resets each May. For new solar customers on its E-16 and E-28 plans, that's 1.87 cents per kWh as of May 2026, well below what you pay for power. Solar you use at home, or store in a battery, is where the savings come from.

Downtown: Mesa Electric

About 5.5 square miles around downtown are served by City of Mesa Electric. It uses net metering bill credits and caps home systems at 5 kW, or 10 kW with a battery. Your application must be accepted before installation.

Check your bill

The logo on your electric bill tells you which utility you have. We confirm it, and the current export rate, before we design anything.

Incentives

Solar incentives for Mesa homeowners

Mesa homeowners get Arizona's state solar incentives. Here's what's still available in 2026.

Tax treatment varies. Consult a tax professional.

Arizona solar tax credit

Claim 25% of the cost of a solar energy device on your home, up to $1,000, with Arizona Form 310. Unused credit can carry forward for up to five years.

Property tax exemption

Under A.R.S. §42-11054, solar on your home adds no value for property tax purposes in Maricopa County.

Sales tax exemption

Qualifying solar equipment and installation are exempt from Arizona's transaction privilege tax (A.R.S. §42-5061 and §42-5075).

Federal tax credit

The federal residential solar credit (Section 25D) ended for homeowner-purchased systems on December 31, 2025. If you'd rather not pay upfront, ask about our no-upfront-cost monthly battery program.

Battery storage

Why Mesa homes add a battery

On SRP, the solar you store and use yourself is worth far more than the 1.87 cents per kWh you'd get for exporting it.

Cover the evening peak

Run your home on stored solar during evening hours, when time-of-use rates are highest.

Backup when the grid goes down

Keep essentials running during summer monsoon outages.

Earn SRP bill credits

If your home is on SRP, the SRP Battery Partner program pays $55 per average kW in bill credits each summer and winter season for letting SRP draw on your battery during peak events.

"Jordan and his team made the process super easy. They reconfigured some of our existing solar and they added a Tesla battery so we could maximize our utility savings. They handled all the permits... If you are on the fence about solar or a battery — schedule a meeting and they will show you the numbers. You won't regret it."

"This is the 4th solar system I have installed over the years, and Icon Power (Jordan especially) has been Excellent. They were fast, well communicated, instant to respond to any question... I have never experienced such a great install that was very quick, and their lease-to-own option was a great deal reducing the cost."

"It's unusual these days to work with someone who does great work, for a fair price and in a timely manner, but Icon Power does that and more. We needed them to install an EV charging station and couldn't be happier with the results."

They ensured we had an install done right, the first time, and didn't have ugly silver conduit running across our roof... they worked with me and around my schedule and had us connected and ready for inspections and the PTO quickly!"

Frequently asked questions

Mesa solar questions, answered

Answers on SRP, Mesa Electric, batteries, incentives and property taxes in Mesa.

Is solar worth it in Mesa in 2026?

For most homeowners, yes. Mesa's long cooling season makes solar a strong fit, and Arizona still offers a 25% state tax credit up to $1,000 plus property and sales tax exemptions. The best value comes from a system sized to your own use, often with a battery.

Am I on SRP or Mesa Electric?

Most Mesa homes are on SRP. About 5.5 square miles around downtown are served by City of Mesa Electric. Check the logo on your electric bill, and we'll confirm your utility before we design your system.

Do I need a battery with solar in Mesa?

It usually makes a big difference. SRP credits exported solar for new customers at 1.87 cents per kWh as of May 2026, so storing midday solar for the evening is worth much more. A battery also keeps essentials running during monsoon outages, and SRP Battery Partner pays bill credits for sharing it.

Can I still get the federal solar tax credit?

Not for a system you buy. The federal residential solar credit (Section 25D) ended for homeowner-purchased systems on December 31, 2025. If your system was installed and operating by then, you claim it for the tax year it was placed in service. Arizona's 25% state credit, up to $1,000, still applies. Tax treatment varies. Consult a tax professional.

What solar incentives does Arizona offer?

Arizona offers a state income tax credit of 25% of the cost of a residential solar energy device, up to $1,000, claimed on Arizona Form 310. Solar on your home is also exempt from property tax assessments, and qualifying equipment and installation are exempt from state sales tax. Tax treatment varies. Consult a tax professional.

Will solar raise my property taxes in Mesa?

No. Arizona law exempts residential solar from property tax assessments in Maricopa County.
