If you live in Arizona, choosing solar energy is an amazing choice to save money (and the planet!). To make it even more accessible and affordable, some local utility companies are offering “rebate programs”– cash incentives to encourage people to go solar. Plus, Salt River Project (SRP) gives you great incentives for homeowners who add battery storage to their solar installations!
If you’re not sold on solar panels yet, check out True Power’s options for residential and commercial solar installations. With these incentives and rebates and True Power’s affordable pricing and expert team, making the switch is easy!
Local Utility Rebates:
1. The Mohave Electric Cooperative (MEC) SunWatts Renewable Energy Incentive Program gives you 5 cents per watt, up to 50 kilowatts (for reference, the average solar panel can generate up to 400 watts per hour!). Plus, if you get a solar water heater, MEC will give you 75 cents per kWh of energy saved during the first year. Click here to learn more!
2. For the first year you own a solar water heater, the Trico Electric Cooperative SunWatts Incentive Program gives you 40 cents for every kWh savings. This rebate helps offset the costs associated with installing energy-efficient solar water heating systems. Click here to learn more!
3. The first year you own a solar water heater, Sulphur Springs Valley Electric Cooperative (SSVEC) SunWatts Rebate Program gives you 50 cents per expected kWh savings. Click here to learn more!
SRP Battery Storage Incentive
Besides rebates for solar installations, Salt River Project (SRP) offers great incentives for battery storage systems. These battery storage systems are a great option for homeowners– they let you store the energy from your solar panels, so you can use renewable energy even when the sun’s not out.
SRP Battery Storage Rebate Program SRP gives you a rebate of $300 per kilowatt-hour (kWh) for home battery installations, up to $3,600. To qualify for this incentive, homeowners must participate in SRP’s battery research study. The rebate reduces the cost of adding a battery storage system to your solar installation, making it cheaper to store excess solar energy for later use.
Benefits of Battery Storage:
- Energy Independence: Battery storage lets you store excess solar energy produced during the day for use at night or during power outages, reducing your reliance on the grid.
- Cost Savings: By storing and using your solar energy, you can avoid peak electricity rates and save on your utility bills.
- Environmental Impact: Battery storage maximizes the use of renewable energy, reducing the need for fossil fuel-based power during high demand periods.
