What kind of solar power incentives are offered in Arizona?

Question

I am looking into solar power and land prices are cheap in AZ. Does anyone know what kind of Federal or State incentives are offered for Solar power?

Answer 1

I'm in arizona and i'll just give you the buzz from the citizens. We have solar energy out here, I've just been told that it is a bit expensive out here to have installed if you aren't doing it yourlself, but in all reality it works. Depending on where you are moving in the beautiful desert state, we have LOTS of wing, and PLENTY of Sun. I live in lake havasu, our entire town is surrounded by mountains which causes wind constantly and the heat here in summers is 120 + f. No exaggeration. I would definitely say go for it.

Answer 2

Here's good start:"Arizona Incentives for Renewable Energy"

Answer 3

May be some, but must not be much. I see very little of it in use. In the 80's, there were hundreds of solar companies here selling solar water heating systems because there was a big subsidy program. All it did was jack up the prices because of the greedy suppliers making all they could on them. When the subsidies ran out, everybody stopped buying. We used to see the collectors on houses everywhere. Now you rarely see one. Just not cost effective without large subsidies.
