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 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 at the end of August.

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.

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.

Affordable housing and solar energy should go hand in hand. Here in Flagstaff, they are.

Rooftop Solar is proud to continue our partnership with Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona, installing solar on starter homes at Timber Sky.

We started with the Butler Avenue pilot, and now we’ve completed 10 homes in the first phase at Timber Sky.

Each home is designed with a right-sized solar system to help reduce utility bills and support long-term affordability.

Affordable housing isn’t just about buying a home, it’s about being able to live in it.

Starting in 2022 Rooftop Solar partnered with Habitat for Humanity of Northern Arizona to provide solar on the initial starter homes on Butler Ave.

We're so proud to continue that collaboration by installing solar for their new project at Timber Sky. This week the Rooftop Solar installation team has been out working in the tiny home village on west Route 66.

These mighty little systems will produce 11-12kWh on average per-day and will allow new affordable-home-owners to avoid escalating energy costs and secure their energy futures!

We applaud Habitat for Humanity's commitment to making housing affordable in our community, and Rooftop Solar is excited to partner with them on this important community project.

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.

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...
