About Solar in Mesa
Mesa sits in Maricopa County and is served primarily by Salt River Project (SRP) and Mesa Electric. Mesa is mostly SRP, with a small municipal Mesa Electric area downtown; permitting timelines are typically faster than Phoenix proper. Arizona homeowners benefit from the federal solar Investment Tax Credit (currently 30%), Arizona’s Residential Solar Energy Credit (up to $1,000 off state taxes), and a state sales tax exemption on solar equipment. Permit and interconnection timelines in Mesa typically run 2-4 weeks.
Arizona has the highest solar resource in the United States, averaging about 6 peak sun hours per day. A typical 8 kW residential system in Mesa produces roughly 13,500-14,500 kWh per year — enough to offset most of a typical household’s electricity use.
