Why Tempe Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar
Tempe's hot desert climate and energy landscape present exceptional opportunities for solar adoption. With SRP and APS electricity rates rising and Arizona's intense summer heat driving extreme cooling costs, homeowners and businesses across Maricopa County are discovering the financial benefits of solar energy and battery storage systems engineered specifically for extreme desert conditions.
💰
Rising Energy Costs
Arizona electricity rates continue climbing, with SRP residential rates averaging 10.9-12.4 cents per kWh and APS rates at 11.5-13.2 cents per kWh—costs that spike dramatically during peak summer demand when air conditioning runs continuously. Time-of-use rates can exceed 25-30 cents per kWh during 3-8pm peak periods. Solar systems lock in energy costs for 25+ years, providing predictable savings that compound as utility rates continue rising. Tempe businesses face commercial rates averaging 9-14 cents per kWh plus significant demand charges during peak cooling hours.
⛈️
Extreme Heat & Monsoon Reliability
The Phoenix metro experiences extreme summer temperatures reaching 115-120°F, intense monsoon storms with high winds and microbursts, dust storms (haboobs), and occasional grid stress during peak demand periods. Battery storage systems provide essential backup for air conditioning, refrigeration, and business operations during outages. Average Tempe home experiences 2-4 power outages annually lasting 2-8 hours—battery systems maintain comfort and protect sensitive electronics during monsoon season disruptions and summer grid strain.
☀️
Exceptional Solar Resources
Tempe receives 5.7-6.5 peak sun hours daily and approximately 299 sunny days annually—some of the best solar resources in the entire United States. Arizona's desert climate provides consistent year-round production with minimal seasonal variation compared to northern states. Well-designed systems generate 1,450-1,650 kWh annually per installed kW, providing exceptional return on investment for Maricopa County installations. Clear skies and intense sunshine make Arizona ideal for solar energy production with production matching peak cooling demand.
📋
Available Incentives & Programs
The 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit remains available through 2032 for all solar installations. Arizona offers property tax exemption for solar equipment—ensuring your solar investment doesn't increase property assessments or taxes. Sales tax exemption on solar equipment purchases saves additional 5.6% on materials statewide. Net metering with SRP and APS provides credits for excess solar production at retail rates. Commercial installations qualify for accelerated MACRS depreciation, recovering 85% of system costs within six years through combined federal incentives. Many Arizona utilities offer additional solar incentive programs.

Real results from homeowners, contractors, and businesses throughout Maricopa County and the Phoenix metro area.
"Our SRP bills were averaging $380 during summer months with air conditioning running constantly in 115°F heat. We installed an 8.2kW solar system with battery backup through a PowerLink installer PES recommended. First summer our bill dropped to $95 average, and the battery kept our AC running during a 6-hour monsoon outage in July when it was 108°F outside. The system has already saved us over $1,850 in the first year. Best investment we've made in our Tempe home."
Emily T.Tempe Homeowner, 8.2kW System
"Running a solar installation business in the Phoenix metro means managing tight schedules and working around extreme summer heat. PES's 48-hour delivery commitment has been a game-changer—when I need high-temperature panels, heat-resistant inverters, or wind-rated racking for monsoon season, materials arrive quickly without huge inventory costs. Their PowerLink pricing on bulk orders and responsive support team has given me a real competitive advantage across Tempe, Mesa, and Chandler. They understand Arizona's unique installation challenges."
David M.PowerLink Contractor, Phoenix Metro
"Our Tempe warehouse was paying APS over $4,200 monthly with massive demand charges during our daytime operations in summer heat. PES helped design a 95kW rooftop system that's cut our electricity costs by $2,650 monthly—that's $31,800 annually. The federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation made the financial case compelling with a 5.7-year payback. System has performed flawlessly through two Arizona summers including days over 118°F. We're now producing 140,000+ kWh annually and eliminated demand charges completely during business hours."
