- $1,000 State Tax Credit: Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit. An individual or corporate income tax credit is available for taxpayers who own a qualified energy generator that first produces electricity from and after Dec. 31, 2010, and before Jan. 1, 2021, using a qualified energy resource.
- APS Battery Incentive: There’s an incredible opportunity offered by APS for those who want solar and battery storage for their home. APS is offering an incentive of up to $3,750 paid directly to you after your system is installed. This is an addition to the 30% Federal Tax Credit and the $1,000 state tax credit. We do not expect this incentive to last very long and it likely will sell out by the end of 2021, or sooner. Contact us now so we can secure this incentive for you.
- APS Net Export Rate: This is not always thought of as an incentive and is not as obvious as a tax credit or cash payment, but it is a quite generous financial incentive. APS is mandated to compensate homeowners that export solar energy sometimes at a higher rate than they would otherwise pay for energy generated from other sources.

Provider Checklist
Checklist to Choose a Solar Installer
Here is a helpful checklist with guidelines for selecting the best solar company for your solar installation. These tips and questions will help you identify which solar companies have the experience, quality products, trained personnel, and financial strength you want. The quality of the solar installer and equipment you select will directly affect your long-term savings and the system’s reliability. Pick the right combination and you’ll be set up for decades of success.
Make sure you’re getting the best equipment and service from a trusted company. Find out how long they have been in business and read reviews from third-party sites like Yelp, Google, Solar Reviews, and BBB.
If a salesperson pressures you by telling you the price will increase tomorrow, they’re not the right partner. A trusted company will help guide you along every step from selecting the best financing for you. It is very common for solar companies to push a single financing product that makes them the most money even if it’s not in the customer’s best interest. Be very cautious about any company that only recommends a solar lease or PPA as these are the costliest options available. We are not incentivized by any of our financing options.
Cut out the middleman and deal directly with the solar contractor. Never e-sign a contract before you ask them if they handle service requests and repairs. If the right equipment is installed in the right way, your solar system should operate without incident for many years. But what if something does go wrong? If it ever does, you’ll want a company that has a dedicated and experienced service department that can quickly diagnose and resolve issues in the field. We have a dedicated services department, and we make every effort to correct any issue in the shortest time possible.
Ask for a copy of the contractor’s and subcontractor’s license, insurance, and worker’s comp policies to ensure that you will not be liable for damages or injuries during installation.
Don’t sign a contract until you review which payment method is best for your situation.
