electricity prices have risen, though they remain below the national average\u2014so what might that mean for your household and rooftop solar?<\/p>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Arizona\u2019s average residential electricity price increased from 12.5 cents per kilowatt-hour in 2021 to 14.9 cents in 2024, about 19%. It remained below the U.S. average, which rose from 13.7 to 16.5 cents.<\/p>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">A rooftop solar system can provide part of an Arizona home\u2019s electricity, reducing the amount bought from the utility. Bill effects depend on system size, household use, rates, and utility rules; solar may not eliminate utility charges.<\/p>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">With a LightReach lease, homeowners can lock in a low fixed monthly payment with no upfront investment. Palmetto owns and maintains the system, includes a 90% Production Guarantee, and provides a comprehensive protection program, helping reduce exposure to rising utility rates.<\/p>\n                <\/p>\n            <\/div>\n            \n            <div class=\"electricity-chart-container\">\n                <h3 class=\"chart-title\">Price of Energy: Arizona vs National Average<\/h3>\n\n                <div class=\"bar-chart-container\">\n  <div class=\"y-axis\">\n    <div class=\"y-label\">0\u00a2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"y-label\">10\u00a2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"y-label\">20\u00a2<\/div>\n    <div class=\"y-label\">30\u00a2<\/div>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"chart-area\">\n    <div class=\"grid-lines\">\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n      <div class=\"grid-line\"><\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2021 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 45.67%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">13.7\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 41.67%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">12.5\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2022 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 50.00%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">15.0\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 43.33%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">13.0\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2023 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 53.33%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">16.0\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 46.67%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">14.0\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n    <!-- 2024 -->\n    <div class=\"year-column\">\n      <div class=\"bar-group\">\n        <div class=\"bar us-bar\" style=\"height: 55.00%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">16.5\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n        <div class=\"bar local-bar\" style=\"height: 49.67%;\">\n          <span class=\"bar-label\">14.9\u00a2<\/span>\n        <\/div>\n      <\/div>\n    <\/div>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"x-axis\">\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2021<\/div>\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2022<\/div>\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2023<\/div>\n  <div class=\"year-label\">2024<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart-legend\">\n  <div class=\"legend-item\">\n    <span class=\"legend-color us-color\"><\/span>\n    <span class=\"legend-label\">US Average<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n  <div class=\"legend-item\">\n    <span class=\"legend-color local-color\"><\/span>\n    <span class=\"legend-label\">Arizona<\/span>\n  <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"chart-source\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.eia.gov\/electricity\/data\/eia861\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source: US Bureau of Labor Statistics, Energy Information Administration, Form 861<\/a><\/div>\n\n            <\/div>\n        <\/div>\n      \n        <div class=\"palmetto-utilities-section\">\n            <h3 class=\"palmetto-section-subheading\">Arizona Area Utility Providers<\/h3>\n\n            <div class=\"palmetto-utilities-grid\">\n                <div class=\"palmetto-utilities-text\">\n                    <p class=\"palmetto-section-intro\">2024 figures are not yet available, so this comparison uses 2023 averages: APS (Arizona Public Service), 15.3\u00a2\/kWh; SRP (Salt River Project), 12.5\u00a2; and TEP (Tucson Electric Power), 15.0\u00a2.

The Arizona Registrar of Contractors (AZ ROC) oversees contractor licensing, and solar-device installers must meet applicable qualifications; the right classification depends on the work. Ask each bidder for its legal business name and license details, then confirm with AZ ROC that the license is appropriate for the proposed work. A salesperson\u2019s assurance alone is not verification.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Look for certified installers<\/h3>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Ask whether the people designing or installing your system hold NABCEP certification, and check <a target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nabcep.org\/\">NABCEP\u2019s certification information<\/a> to understand the credential. You can also ask about manufacturer certifications for the proposed panels and inverters, including which workers hold them and what equipment or work they cover. These credentials can help you compare training, but they do not replace the required Arizona contractor license.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Compare quotes the same way<\/h3>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Request written quotes with the same assumptions. Compare the full scope and terms, not just the advertised monthly payment:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>System size:<\/strong> total capacity in kilowatts (kW), and the price per watt using the same price basis for each quote.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Equipment:<\/strong> panel and inverter brands and models.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Production:<\/strong> estimated annual electricity output in kilowatt-hours (kWh\/year), plus the assumptions behind the estimate.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Warranties:<\/strong> panel product and performance, inverter, workmanship, and roof penetrations. Ask who backs each warranty and how to make a claim.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Project responsibilities:<\/strong> who obtains permits, schedules inspections, and handles the utility interconnection application and agreement.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Cost and payment terms:<\/strong> total cost or monthly payment, any escalator, and other charges or conditions that affect what you pay.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<h3>Permits, interconnection and your HOA<\/h3>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Building and electrical permits and inspections are handled by the local authority having jurisdiction; the office and requirements depend on your property address. Ask whether the installer will manage these steps. You or the installer applies to the serving electric utility for interconnection and an agreement. Depending on your address, the utility may be Arizona Public Service Co, Salt River Project, Tucson Electric Power Co, or UNS Electric, Inc. Confirm which one serves the property. ACC-jurisdiction utilities require an interconnection agreement before connection; municipal electric systems are not under ACC jurisdiction and may have different requirements.<\/p>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Arizona law limits HOA and covenant restrictions on rooftop solar. Planned-community associations cannot prohibit solar devices, though reasonable placement rules are allowed if they do not prevent installation or impair function, use, cost, or efficiency. Effectively prohibiting covenants are generally void, subject to an exception for instruments entered into before April 17, 1980. These protections do not create an easement over neighboring property. See A.R.S. \u00a7\u00a7 33-1816 and 33-439.<\/p>\n\n<h3>Red flags<\/h3>\n<ul>\n<li>Pressure to sign the same day or claims that an offer disappears immediately.<\/li>\n<li>An unlicensed contractor or out-of-state crew whose Arizona license and responsibility for the work are unclear. Verify the responsible licensed contractor.<\/li>\n<li>A vague production estimate with no annual kWh figure or explanation.<\/li>\n<li>A large upfront deposit without clear written terms for what it covers and when work will occur.<\/li>\n<li>Promises of federal homeowner tax credits for purchases made in 2026. Homeowner credits ended December 31, 2025.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p class=\"palmetto-section-body\">Palmetto is one installer homeowners can compare, with a lease option through LightReach.<\/p>\n    <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<style>\n.installer-guide-body h3 { font-size: var(--size-font-lg, 1.25rem); margin: 1.75rem 0 .5rem; }\n.installer-guide-body ul { margin: .5rem 0 1rem 1.25rem; }\n.installer-guide-body li { margin-bottom: .4rem; }\n<\/style>\n\n\n\n<section id=\"leasing-section\" class=\"leasing-solar-section\">\n<div class=\"leasing-container\">\n    <div class=\"leasing-content\">\n    <div class=\"leasing-text-column\">\n        <div class=\"section-number\">10<\/div>\n        <h2 class=\"palmetto-section-heading\">Go Solar with LightReach \u2014 No Upfront Cost<\/h2>\n        <p>In Arizona, Palmetto offers leases\u2014not PPAs\u2014in these utility areas: APS, SRP, Tucson Electric Power, UNS Electric\/Unisource Energy Services, Mohave Electric Cooperative, Trico Electric Cooperative, and Electrical Districts #3 and #4 in Pinal County.
