Arizona emits 3,536.84 kilograms of CO2 emissions from electricity use per resident in the state, which makes it the 36th highest polluting state in the nation based on emissions per capita. While not as telling of a statistic, the total pollution for the state from electricity consumption is 26,028,311,832.49 kilograms of CO2 emissions, which ranks as the 20th highest amount in the country. Over 46.72% of electricity in the state of Arizona comes from production using Natural Gas. Nuclear (27.50%) is also used in the production of electricity, as well as Solar (10.74%). Arizona has 84 power producing plants within its borders. This is the 6th highest number of plants within a single state and the 22nd highest number of power plants per person in a state.

Of the 35 electricity suppliers in Arizona, 18 of them report that they offer net metering. At the state level, Arizona is known for heavily restricted net metering and feed in tariff regulations.

There are 13 electricity companies in Arizona that reported energy loss, including Arizona Public Service, Salt River Project, and Tucson Electric Power. Combined, these 13 companies average an annual energy loss of 3.97% of electricity generated. The countrywide average for energy loss is 2.43%, which earns a rank of 38th best in the country for Arizona in this category.

In order to foster personal solar, all a state needs to do is enact rebates for solar panel purchases and tax breaks. Arizona offers a credit that is $1000 or less or there is no state tax. While there are no statewide rebates there are local rebates available to many customers who wish to install private solar panels at their place of residence. Arizona citizens have the ability to apply a 100% property tax exemption for the purchase of private solar panels, which is great news for the consumer and solar efforts. The state offers a 100% sales tax exemption to citizens who install private solar. This is great news for everyone in the state.

Customers who are searching for electricity options that use renewable fuel types will have better luck if there are statewide initiatives that encourage green energy usage. Renewable Portfolio Standards (RPS) encourage or require electric companies to produce a percentage of their electricity using green fuel types. The state of Arizona requires electricity companies to generate between 1-15% of their output from renewable fuel types. Furthermore, there are currently no low income solar programs to help low income families to install solar panels.

Learn about going solar in Arizona, find out which system size is best for you, compare local installers and see which incentives are available in your area.
