Solar in Tempe

Is solar worth it in Tempe in 2026?

For most Tempe homeowners, yes. Tempe is served by SRP, which pays a low export rate, reset each May, for solar you send back to the grid, so Tempe systems work best when they're sized to your own use and often paired with a battery.

Your utility

How SRP credits solar in Tempe

SRP doesn't credit exported solar one-for-one. You use your solar first, and anything extra is credited at SRP's export rate, which is well below what you pay for power.

Export credit

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.

Use it first

Solar you use as it's produced offsets power you'd otherwise buy at SRP's full retail rate, so it's worth the most.

SRP Battery Partner

SRP customers with an enrolled Tesla, FranklinWH, Enphase or SolarEdge battery earn bill credits each summer and winter season for letting SRP draw on the battery during peak events.

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 Tempe homeowners

Tempe 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 Tempe homes add a battery

On SRP's low export rate, the solar you store and use yourself is worth far more than the solar you send back.

Use your solar after sunset

Store midday solar and run your home on it in the evening instead of exporting it at 1.87 cents per kWh.

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

Tempe solar questions, answered

Answers on SRP, batteries, incentives and permits in Tempe.

Which utility serves Tempe?

SRP. Tempe homes are served by Salt River Project, which resets its export rate each May. New solar customers on its E-16 and E-28 plans are credited 1.87 cents per kWh as of May 2026. We review your SRP bills and rate plan before we design your system.

Is solar worth it in Tempe in 2026?

For most homeowners, yes. Tempe's sunshine and high summer bills make solar a strong fit, and Arizona still offers a 25% state tax credit up to $1,000. Because SRP pays a low export rate for solar you send back, the best value comes from a system sized to your own use, often with a battery.

Do I need a battery with solar on SRP?

You don't need one, but on SRP a battery usually makes the biggest difference. It stores daytime solar for the evening instead of exporting it at 1.87 cents per kWh, keeps essentials running during outages, and can earn bill credits through SRP Battery Partner.

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.

Will solar raise my property taxes in Tempe?

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 permits and utility paperwork?

We do. Our team handles City of Tempe permits, HOA approvals and your SRP interconnection application, then schedules the inspection that comes before SRP's permission to operate.

Where is Icon Power located?

Our headquarters is at 3006 S. Priest Dr., Tempe, AZ 85282, and one accountable team handles your design, permits, installation and support. Call 1-888-777-3766.
