Rooftop Solar - Phoenix

Thinking about going solar in Arizona?

There's another APS change you should know about.

APS reviews its solar export credit every year, and the next RCP adjustment is expected to reduce what new solar customers receive for excess electricity sent back to the grid.

That makes one thing increasingly important: how much of your solar power you can actually use at home.

Our updated article explains what APS is changing, why the timing matters, and how solar-plus-storage can help homeowners get more value from the energy their system produces.

If you've been thinking about solar, don't just look at the panels. Understand the utility rules, too.

Solar Gets Cheaper And Everything Doesn’t | Rooftop Solar Solar hardware costs have fallen 65% in the last 14 years while consumer prices rose 44%. What that means for Arizona homeowners.

Thinking about solar? Here's something worth knowing. APS reviews and adjusts its solar export credit every year, and another reduction is expected in September 2026.

It doesn't mean solar's less worth it. It means system design (and whether battery storage fits your home) matters more than ever.

We broke down what's changing, why timing matters, and 5 questions every Arizona homeowner should ask before going solar. Read the full article: https://rooftopsolar.us/go-solar-before-the-aps-solar-credit-change-what-arizona-homeowners-should-know/

Electricity costs in Arizona aren’t rising by accident—they’re being shaped by long-term changes in demand, extreme heat, and grid infrastructure upgrades.
While the system is still reliable, the way energy is priced and delivered is evolving, and that has real implications for homeowners thinking about long-term costs and stability.
We put together a clear breakdown of what’s happening, why it matters, and how solar + battery storage fits into the bigger picture of Arizona’s energy future.
Read the full article to understand where energy costs are headed next.

APS is now implementing wildfire-related power shutoffs in Northern Arizona, and that means more unexpected outages for homeowners.

These Public Safety Power Shutoffs are designed to prevent fires during extreme weather, but they also highlight a growing reality: the grid is no longer fully reliable year-round.
Solar + battery storage systems give homeowners something different:

⚡ Power during outages
⚡ Energy independence when the grid goes down
⚡ Peace of mind during wildfire season

Energy resiliency isn’t a luxury anymore. It's becoming the new normal in Arizona.
See how homeowners are preparing for the next outage with solar + storage.

If your electric bill feels less predictable lately, it’s not just you.

There are several things happening at once in Arizona:

• Utility rates continuing to rise
• Policy direction shifting at SRP
• Global energy pressures affecting local pricing
• More homeowners turning to solar for stability

In our latest newsletter, we break it all down—from the truth about energy subsidies to real-world results from a Flagstaff solar install.

This isn’t one headline—it’s the full picture of where energy is heading and what it means for homeowners.

If you’re thinking about solar or just trying to understand your costs, this is worth your time.

What If Solar Isn’t the One Getting the Handouts? Most people assume solar gets unfair government support. It’s a reasonable assumption, but it’s incomplete. When you look at the full picture, fossil fuels have received decades of subsidies that still shape today’s energy market. And even more surprising: Even without subsidies, solar is alre...

Here's a welcome surprise! SRP customers, what do you think? Is a solar feed-in tariff in your future??

Clean energy majority takes over SRP board, Turning Point falls short | Arizona Capitol Times Turning Point fell short of preventing a “clean energy” majority on the Salt River Project power board, signaling a rebuke of the conservative group and an increase in voter interest in energy issues.

What if your car ran on energy produced at your own home and cost almost nothing to fuel?

In Arizona, pairing rooftop solar with an electric vehicle can reduce your fuel cost to pennies per mile. Compare that to what most drivers spend on gasoline!

This is more than a vehicle upgrade. It changes how you manage long-term transportation costs.

- Protection from rising gas prices
- Lower cost per mile over time
- Greater control over your energy

Homeowners are surprised to learn that you do not need a large solar system to power an EV. In many cases, a small system expansion can offset your annual driving.
