Solar in Phoenix

Is solar worth it in Phoenix in 2026?

For most Phoenix homeowners, yes, but your utility matters more than your roof. Phoenix is split between APS and SRP, and the two credit exported solar very differently. The boundary follows neighborhoods, not city limits, so start with the logo on your bill.

Your utility

APS or SRP: what it means for your Phoenix system

Both utilities pay less for exported solar than you pay for power, but the gap differs, and that changes how we size your system.

APS homes

APS credits exported solar at an export rate the Arizona Corporation Commission approves each year. The rate in place when you apply to connect is locked for 10 years. Most APS solar homes use a time-of-use plan, where a battery can cover the evening peak.

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. On SRP, a battery is often what makes the numbers work.

Not sure which you have?

Look at the logo on your electric bill. If you can't tell, send us a recent bill and we'll confirm your utility before we design anything.

Export rates as published in October 2026. Rates change, so we confirm the current rate for your home in your quote.

Incentives

Solar incentives for Phoenix homeowners

Phoenix 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, so your Maricopa County assessment doesn't go up.

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 Phoenix homes add a battery

Whether you're on APS or SRP, the solar you store and use yourself is worth more than the solar you export.

Cover the evening peak

On an APS time-of-use plan, run your home on stored solar during the late afternoon and evening, when rates are highest.

Backup during monsoon outages

Keep the fridge, lights and AC essentials running when summer storms knock out power.

Earn SRP bill credits

SRP Battery Partner 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

Phoenix solar questions, answered

Answers on APS and SRP, batteries, incentives and property taxes in Phoenix.

Am I on APS or SRP in Phoenix?

It depends on your neighborhood. Phoenix is split between APS and SRP, and the boundary follows neighborhoods rather than city limits. Check the logo on your bill, and we'll confirm it before we design your system.

Is solar worth it in Phoenix in 2026?

For most homeowners, yes. Phoenix sunshine and high summer bills make solar a strong fit, and Arizona still offers a 25% state tax credit up to $1,000 plus property and sales tax exemptions. Because APS and SRP pay less for exports than you pay for power, the best value comes from a system sized to your own use.

Do I need a battery with solar in Phoenix?

It depends on your utility. On SRP, which credits exports for new customers at 1.87 cents per kWh as of May 2026, a battery is usually what makes the numbers work. On APS, solar alone can still make sense, and a battery helps cover the evening time-of-use peak. Either way, a battery keeps essentials running during outages.

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 Phoenix?

No. Arizona law exempts residential solar from property tax assessments, so adding solar doesn't raise your home's assessed value for tax purposes.

Who handles my Phoenix solar project?
