Arizona Rebates and Incentives Summary
Energy incentive programs in Arizona offer a number of public service rebates and tax incentives, including personal, property, and sales tax credits. Depending on the credit in question, consumers who upgrade efficiency in their homes can make or save up to thousands of dollars.
Tax credits and rebates are available to property owners who upgrade or maintain renewable energy sources. Arizona’s Energy Equipment Property Tax Exemption mandates that any solar energy-generating device is considered by the state, for property tax assessment, to add no value to a property, while purchases of both solar and wind-energy-generating equipment are exempted from sales tax.
Many utilities in Arizona also offer rebate or payback programs to customers who install solar- or wind-power-generating equipment on their property. In most cases, the utility will calculate how much power your equipment is expected to generate over 20 years (in kilowatt hours), and then reimburse a chunk of the cost of buying and installing the equipment based on that figure. Reimbursement funds are reserved, so check with your power company beforehand.
