The Arizona Solar Roadmap….a look back

Long before other solar roadmaps were developed, AriSEIA was working on a “Solar Plan” for Arizona…..

This plan included creating an incentive structure, eliminating roadblocks, and in general promoting greater use of solar energy in Arizona.

…….Legislative Accomplishments

Sales tax exemption

Residential Solar Tax Credit

Property tax exemptions

Commercial tax credit

Solar Rights for Homeowners

Regulatory Affairs

Deregulation & the Solar Portfolio Standard

Environmental Portfolio Standard

Renewable Energy Standard & Tariff

Solar Rights for HomeownersLegislation - strengthen Arizona's existing statute

Education - outreach to HOA’s and those who manage them.

Litigation- - find homeowners will install solar and allow themselves to be sued by their HOA

Combined Incentive Structure Creates the Market

• Arizona Residential & Commercial Tax Credits

•Federal ITC

•Utility Programs under the Renewable Energy Standard and Tariff. (REST)

Economic Development Benefits

Creates jobs in a variety of sectors.Money saved is kept in our community - $2.8 million saved by Arizona families monthly equals $4.67 million in economic development benefits. Increased property values for Arizona homeowners and businesses. Potential export market

Air Quality Benefits

Pollution free electricity & water heating.

One solar water heating system avoids the equivalent emissions of driving 6,540 miles, a 3 KW PV avoids the emissions of 9,369 miles of driving.

The average solar swimming pool heating system avoids the production of 10,000 pounds of emissions.
