Going Solar in Arizona
Aurica is expanding to Arizona, with service starting in January 2027. Get on the list now and we will check availability for your address before we start.
Arizona has strong sunshine and a modest state tax credit, but its big utilities pay a set export rate rather than full retail credit. Here is what to know before you plan.
UTILITIES
Arizona Electric Utilities
Arizona Public Service (APS) and Tucson Electric Power (TEP) are the largest investor-owned utilities. Salt River Project (SRP), a public power utility, serves much of the Phoenix area. UNS Electric, electric co-ops and some cities, such as Mesa, also provide power.
NET METERING
Net Metering and Export Rules
APS and TEP credit the solar power you send to the grid at a Resource Comparison Proxy (RCP) export rate. Your rate is locked for 10 years from when you connect, and each year’s rate for new customers can’t drop more than 10%. For APS, the rate for customers connecting from September 1, 2026 to August 31, 2027 is $0.05554 per kWh.
SRP has its own solar price plans, and co-ops and cities set their own rules. Because exports earn less than retail, using more of your own solar power at home matters.
WAYS TO PAY
Cash or a Solar PPA
Aurica offers two ways to pay. You can pay cash and own the system. Or you can choose a solar power purchase agreement (PPA), where you pay for the power the panels produce, with either a 0% yearly rate (the contracted per-kWh rate stays flat) or a 3.5% yearly increase. Qualifying PPA offers can be $0 upfront. PPA availability and terms depend on your address, and your signed agreement sets the details. Savings are not guaranteed.
BATTERY STORAGE
Q.HOME CORE and Tesla Powerwall 3
Aurica offers two home batteries: Q.HOME CORE from Qcells and Tesla Powerwall 3. A battery stores solar power for the evening and can keep your essentials running during an outage. How long backup lasts depends on battery size and what you run. We help you compare the two for your home.
With export rates below retail, a battery can let you use more of your own solar power in the evening.

Yes. It’s 25% of the cost of a home solar system, up to $1,000, claimed on Arizona Form 310.
