Arizona is one of the largest and most mature solar marketplaces in the country, with solar generation already contributing to the public utility grid. Solar prices have declined 45% over the past 5 years, with strong growth projected over the next 5 years. The State’s electric utilities regulator, the Arizona Corporation Commission, has encouraged this clean energy transition with new rules that put the state on track to phase out fossil fuels from the grid by 2050, a goal shared by the state’s largest utility, Arizona Public Service. These updated rules require that at least 50% of grid power comes from clean energy by 2035, with 40% being from customer-owned or -leased systems. The state is encouraging customer ownership through a Residential Solar Energy Tax Credit, and Sales and Property Tax Exemptions.
Palmetto is a member of the Arizona Solar Energy Industries Association (AriSEIA), a non-profit trade association representing the solar and storage industry, solar-friendly businesses, and others interested in advancing solar and storage technologies in Arizona. Palmetto shares AriSEIA’s commitment to conduct business in a manner which assures the public health, safety, and welfare through careful design, installation, operation, and maintenance of solar energy and storage systems.
