About Solar in Scottsdale
Scottsdale sits in Maricopa County and is served primarily by Arizona Public Service (APS) and Salt River Project (SRP). Scottsdale is split between APS and SRP; HOAs are common in newer subdivisions and may require approval before installation. 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 Scottsdale typically run 2-5 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 Scottsdale produces roughly 13,500-14,500 kWh per year — enough to offset most of a typical household’s electricity use.
