Find the Help You Need

Jump Directly to the Part of Your Solar Problem That Matters Most

Arizona solar problems can involve utility-specific export rules, the system interconnection date, detailed state contract disclosures, contractor licensing, roof obligations, financing, and new 2026 consumer protections. Use the shortcuts below to jump directly to the issue you are dealing with.

Common Arizona Solar Problems

Does Any of This Sound Familiar?

Solar problems do not always begin and end with the installer. The salesperson, dealer, lender, loan servicer, electric utility, equipment manufacturer, and installation contractor may all play different roles.

Your Utility Credits Are Lower Than Expected

Arizona does not use one solar export-credit system for every homeowner. APS, TEP, UniSource, SRP, municipal utilities, and electric cooperatives can have different programs, and the date of interconnection can also change the applicable treatment.

  • Identify the utility and solar rate or price plan
  • Check the original interconnection date
  • Compare export credits with the sales assumptions
  • Review actual imported and exported electricity

You Are Paying Solar and a High Electric Bill

Solar can reduce electricity purchases without eliminating the utility bill. Usage, production, time-of-use rates, fixed charges, demand charges on some plans, grid imports, and export-credit values can all affect the total.

  • Compare production with household usage
  • Review time-of-use periods and plan charges
  • Check exported electricity and applicable credit
  • Compare actual bills with the original proposal

The Savings Do Not Match the Sales Presentation

Arizona requires detailed information in covered solar agreements. When sales materials state or suggest financial savings, current law requires the methodology to be substantiated and buyer-specific presentations to reasonably quantify expected cumulative savings.

  • Keep the original proposal and sales presentation
  • Review utility-rate assumptions
  • Compare production estimates with actual production
  • Check financing and tax-credit assumptions

You Want to Cancel a Recent Arizona Solar Agreement

For agreements covered by Arizona's distributed-energy-generation statute, the contract must provide at least three business days after signing to rescind, provided the system has not yet been installed.

  • Check the execution date
  • Review the separately acknowledged cancellation provision
  • Confirm whether installation has started or completed
  • Treat an open rescission period as time-sensitive

You Need Roof Repair or Replacement

Solar equipment can complicate roof work because panels may need removal and reinstallation, warranties can be affected, and responsibility for costs depends on the agreement and facts.

  • Review removal and reinstallation terms
  • Check roof and workmanship warranties
  • Identify the contractor responsible for the original installation
  • Preserve roof inspection and repair records

The Solar Company Closed or Stopped Responding

The seller, installer, lender, servicer, equipment manufacturer, monitoring provider, and warranty provider may be different companies. Closure of one company does not automatically eliminate obligations involving another.

  • Identify the current lender or servicer
  • Check Arizona contractor records
  • Preserve equipment and workmanship warranties
  • Locate utility interconnection and Permission to Operate records

How It Works

Start With a Clear Review of Your Situation

You do not need to know the correct legal, financial, or utility terminology. Tell us what happened and provide the documents you have.

01

Tell Us What Happened

Provide the basic details of the contract, payment, utility bill, export-credit, installation, roof, company-closure, or home-sale problem.

02

Gather the Important Documents

The agreement, financing documents, proposal, utility bills, production records, warranties, interconnection records, and sales communications help show what was signed, promised, installed, financed, and billed.

03

Understand the Strongest Next Step

The review helps identify which issues require closer attention and which company, utility, regulator, or qualified professional may need to be involved.

What Makes Solar Different in Arizona?

Your Utility and Interconnection History Can Change the Entire Billing Analysis

Arizona is a mature solar state. The U.S. Energy Information Administration ranked Arizona fourth nationally in solar-powered net generation in 2024, with solar providing about 13% of statewide electricity generation and small-scale systems producing a substantial share of the state's solar electricity.

The homeowner experience is not uniform. APS, Tucson Electric Power, and UniSource are subject to Arizona Corporation Commission utility regulation, while Salt River Project operates outside the ACC's normal rate jurisdiction. Municipal utilities, electric cooperatives, and tribal utilities can differ again.

13%Approximate share of Arizona electricity generation supplied by solar in 2024

System Vintage MattersLegacy net-metering and newer export-credit treatment can coexist

Start With Your Electric Utility

Arizona Solar Billing Is Not the Same Everywhere

Before deciding why the savings or utility credits differ from what you expected, identify the utility, the applicable solar rate or price plan, and when the system was interconnected.

Arizona Public Service

APS has both legacy solar customers and newer customers whose excess generation is compensated through the Resource Comparison Proxy structure. The applicable treatment can depend on the interconnection history and tariff.

Tucson Electric Power and UniSource

TEP and UniSource also use utility-specific Resource Comparison Proxy tranches for many newer systems while eligible older systems can retain legacy treatment.

Salt River Project

SRP has its own residential solar price plans and is outside normal ACC rate regulation. Different SRP plans can treat excess generation, fixed charges, and demand charges differently.

Why this matters:Do not assume an APS, TEP, UniSource, or SRP solar rule applies to a homeowner served by another Arizona utility. The utility and interconnection date are both important.

APS, TEP, and UniSource

Resource Comparison Proxy Rates and Legacy Solar Can Coexist

Arizona's regulated utilities can have both older solar customers receiving legacy treatment and newer customers whose exported energy is credited under utility-specific Resource Comparison Proxy tranches.

APS

APS describes the Resource Comparison Proxy as a net-billing export-credit mechanism. The currently approved 2025 RCP tranche is $0.06171 per kWh for September 1, 2025 through August 31, 2026.

APS also continues to serve customers with legacy solar treatment. Two APS homeowners can therefore have different export economics depending on the interconnection history and applicable tariff.

TEP and UniSource

Tucson Electric Power's current Statement of Charges lists the October 1, 2025 RCP tranche at $0.0513 per kWh.

UniSource's current Statement of Charges lists the October 1, 2025 RCP tranche at $0.0612 per kWh. Those different figures illustrate why there is not one Arizona RCP rate.

To Identify the Applicable Solar Treatment, Review:

  • Electric utility
  • Original interconnection date
  • Permission to Operate
  • Applicable solar tariff or rider
  • Current RCP tranche when applicable
  • Legacy or grandfathering status
  • Any later system expansion or modification
  • Current utility bill
  • Original sales proposal

New Arizona Solar Protections

Important Roof, Warranty, Savings, and PTO Rules Begin September 12, 2026

Arizona enacted SB1419 in June 2026, and the 2026 general effective date is September 12, 2026.

Once effective, the law adds new requirements involving roof evaluation before rooftop installation, responsibility for roof damage caused by the initial installation, stronger component-warranty disclosures, maintenance-cost information, and disclosures concerning roof removal and reinstallation.

The enacted law does not ban solar savings estimates. Instead, when a savings estimate is provided, the agreement must include a description of the basis for that estimate, including utility rates, assumptions about future rate increases, estimated system production, and the status of compensation for exported energy.

For covered leases, recurring payments will not be permitted to begin until the local utility grants Permission to Operate and the system has been energized and interconnected by the lessor.

For a Contract Signed After the Effective Date, Review:

  • Roof evaluation and roofing recommendations
  • Panel, inverter, racking, and battery warranties
  • Maintenance and repair responsibilities
  • Basis for any savings estimate
  • Roof removal and reinstallation acknowledgment
  • Permission to Operate date
  • Date recurring lease payments began

Salt River Project Solar Customers

Being an SRP Customer Does Not Tell You How Your Solar Is Billed

SRP operates outside the Arizona Corporation Commission's normal rate jurisdiction and maintains several residential solar price plans.

Those plans do not all treat solar the same way. Some plans use net-metering-style treatment while others use separate export credits. Some plans also include monthly service or demand-related charges.

For an SRP homeowner, the key question is not simply whether the home is served by SRP. The actual solar price plan must be identified before comparing the bill with what was represented during the sale.

For an SRP Review, Compare:

  • Current SRP solar price plan
  • Solar production
  • Household usage
  • Imported electricity
  • Exported electricity
  • Fixed service charges
  • Demand charges when applicable
  • Current export-credit treatment
  • Original sales proposal

Arizona Solar Agreement and Savings Disclosures

The Contract Should Tell You Much More Than the Monthly Payment

Current Arizona law requires covered distributed-energy-generation agreements to disclose significant financial and transaction information, including total cost, financing and other fees, payment terms when applicable, warranties, certain tax-incentive information, transfer restrictions, maintenance and operating costs, and utility-rate assumptions.

Arizona also requires a warning that utility rates and rate structures can change and that projected savings are therefore subject to change.

When sales materials state or suggest that solar will produce financial savings, the current statute requires the methodology to be substantiated. Buyer-specific presentations must reasonably quantify expected cumulative savings over the agreement term.

Compare These Documents

  • Original solar proposal
  • Sales presentation
  • Signed solar agreement
  • Financing agreement
  • Utility-rate assumptions
  • Production estimate
  • Tax-credit assumptions
  • Actual utility bills
  • Actual production records
A discrepancy can be important to a review, but it does not automatically establish that the agreement is void or that a particular remedy is available.

Arizona Solar Cancellation Rights

Covered Agreements Must Provide at Least Three Business Days to Rescind

Current A.R.S. §44-1763 requires a covered financing, sale, or lease agreement to contain a separately acknowledged provision giving the buyer or lessee not less than three business days after signing to rescind, provided the system has not yet been installed.

The transaction type, contract timing, installation status, and statutory coverage still matter. Do not assume every Arizona solar transaction can be canceled at any time within three days regardless of the facts.

What to Look For

  • Date the agreement was signed
  • Separately acknowledged rescission provision
  • Method for delivering cancellation
  • Installation status
  • Any separate financing agreement
  • Evidence of a cancellation attempt already sent
If the system has not been installed and you may still be inside the rescission period, treat the issue as time-sensitive and review the signed documents immediately.

Arizona Contractor Licensing and Complaints

Check the Contractor Responsible for the Solar Installation

Arizona requires covered solar installation work to be performed by appropriately licensed contractors.

The Arizona Registrar of Contractors licenses and regulates residential and commercial contractors and investigates complaints involving licensed contractors and unlicensed entities.

Arizona also maintains a Residential Contractors' Recovery Fund for certain qualifying losses involving licensed residential contractors. The fund is not an automatic solar reimbursement program and eligibility depends on statutory, licensing, complaint, damage, timing, bond, and other requirements.

Check the Parties Behind the Project

  • Solar seller or lessor
  • Licensed installation contractor
  • Company listed on the signed agreement
  • Finance company or current servicer
  • Equipment manufacturer
  • Utility responsible for interconnection

Do not assume the seller, installer, lender, servicer, warranty provider, and utility are the same company.

Solar Financing in Arizona

Compare the Cash Price, Amount Financed, and Payment Assumptions

Solar financing can involve a system cash price, amount financed, interest rate, dealer or financing fees, expected tax-credit prepayment, re-amortization, payment changes, and long repayment terms.

A lower advertised interest rate does not by itself show what the system actually cost to finance. Compare the cash price, amount financed, total payments, payment schedule, and any assumed lump-sum payment.

For lender or finance-company complaints, the Arizona Department of Insurance and Financial Institutions regulates many financial entities within its jurisdiction, but it does not regulate every possible lender.

  • System cash price
  • Amount financed
  • Interest rate and APR
  • Dealer or financing fees
  • Expected tax-credit prepayment
  • Re-amortization terms
  • Current monthly payment
  • Current lender and servicer
  • Security-interest language
The correct financial regulator depends on the legal lender, current servicer, and type of financial institution.

Arizona and Federal Solar Tax Expectations

Arizona Still Has a State Solar Credit, but the Federal Residential Credit Changed

Arizona currently provides an individual income-tax credit equal to 25% of the cost of a qualifying solar energy device, up to $1,000. Qualifying unused credit can generally be carried forward for up to five consecutive taxable years.

Arizona Department of Revenue guidance distinguishes qualifying purchased systems from leased systems and power purchase agreements for purposes of the residential credit.

The IRS currently states that the federal Residential Clean Energy Credit is not available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Arizona's separate state credit should not be confused with the federal residential credit.

Arizona also gives qualifying onsite solar favorable property-valuation treatment. Current state law generally treats qualifying solar devices as adding no value when determining full cash value. That is not the same as making the entire property tax-exempt.

  • Original proposal
  • Arizona tax-credit representations
  • Federal tax-credit representations
  • Financing payment schedule
  • Re-amortization provisions
  • Installation and placed-in-service dates
  • System ownership structure
  • Property appraisal records when relevant
Solar Exit Arizona does not determine individual tax eligibility. Tax questions should be reviewed with a qualified tax professional.

Selling or Refinancing an Arizona Home With Solar

Review Transfer Restrictions, Financing, and the Actual UCC Filing

Arizona's current solar agreement statute requires disclosures when an agreement or property ownership includes restrictions on transfer or modification. If third-party approval is required, the agreement must identify the responsible party.

A home-sale or refinance problem can involve equipment ownership, loan payoff, lease or PPA transfer, buyer approval, UCC records, financing-company requirements, or other security interests.

The Arizona Secretary of State maintains the state UCC filing system. Do not automatically describe every solar UCC filing as a mortgage lien against the entire home. Obtain the actual filing and review the collateral description and filing status.

  • Solar equipment ownership
  • Loan payoff amount
  • Lease or PPA transfer requirements
  • Buyer approval requirements
  • Actual UCC filing
  • Collateral description
  • Amendments or continuation filings
  • Termination records
  • Title-company or lender request

Roof Problems or Solar Company Closure

Separate the Companies and Responsibilities Before Deciding What Changed

Roof work can involve removal and reinstallation costs, roof and solar warranties, contractor availability, and responsibility for damage. Beginning September 12, 2026, Arizona adds stronger roof-related disclosures for newer covered transactions.

A residential solar transaction can also involve separate entities for sales, installation, financing, loan servicing, lease or PPA ownership, monitoring, equipment manufacturing, and warranty service.

If the installer closes or stops responding, other companies may still exist and separate payment obligations may remain.

  • Signed solar agreement
  • Roof and workmanship warranties
  • Removal and reinstallation terms
  • Roof inspection or repair records
  • Finance agreement
  • Current payment recipient
  • Contractor license information
  • Equipment warranties
  • Monitoring access
  • Interconnection application and Permission to Operate

Arizona Solar Contract FAQs

Questions Arizona Homeowners Are Asking

The answer often depends on the agreement, financing, timing, utility, project status, and specific facts.

Start My Free Review
How long do I have to cancel a solar agreement in Arizona?

For an agreement covered by A.R.S. §44-1763, the contract must provide a separately acknowledged right to rescind for at least three business days after the buyer or lessee signs and before the system is installed. Transaction type, timing, installation status, and statutory applicability still matter, so homeowners with a recent agreement should review the signed cancellation provision immediately.

Does Arizona still have net metering?

Some Arizona solar customers remain under legacy net-metering treatment, while many newer customers use utility-specific export-credit structures such as the Resource Comparison Proxy. SRP uses its own price plans. The correct answer depends on the utility, interconnection history, and applicable tariff or price plan.

Why is my Arizona electric bill still high after solar?

A remaining or high electric bill can reflect household consumption, solar production, electricity imported from the grid, export-credit values, time-of-use rates, fixed charges, demand charges on certain plans, or a difference between the actual utility program and assumptions used during the sale. A high bill by itself does not prove that the system failed or that the sales presentation was improper.

What does Arizona require a solar company to disclose about savings?

Current Arizona law requires sales materials that state or suggest solar financial savings to substantiate the methodology used. Buyer-specific presentations must reasonably quantify expected cumulative savings over the agreement term. Beginning September 12, 2026, SB1419 adds an express requirement to disclose the basis of a savings estimate, including utility rates, assumed future rate increases, estimated production, and export-compensation status.

Does Arizona still have a state solar tax credit?

Yes, under current Arizona law. A.R.S. §43-1083 provides a state individual income-tax credit equal to 25% of the cost of a qualifying solar energy device, capped at $1,000, with qualifying unused credit generally eligible for carryforward for up to five years. Arizona's credit is separate from the federal residential credit, which current IRS guidance says is unavailable for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.

What changes under Arizona's new solar law on September 12, 2026?

SB1419 adds provisions involving roof evaluation, responsibility for roof damage caused by initial installation, stronger component-warranty disclosures, maintenance-cost disclosures, the basis for savings estimates, roof removal and reinstallation warnings, and Permission to Operate before recurring lease payments begin. The law has been enacted but is not yet effective as of August 8, 2026.

Understand What Actually Happened With Your Arizona Solar Agreement

Arizona solar problems can involve the contract, financing, sales presentation, electric utility, interconnection date, export-credit program, contractor, warranties, roof condition, system production, and home-sale requirements at the same time. The first step is identifying what was signed, what was represented, which utility rules apply, when the system was interconnected, what was installed and financed, and what the homeowner is actually paying now.
