Why Tucson Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar
Tucson's energy landscape presents unique opportunities for solar adoption. With Tucson Electric Power (TEP) electricity rates rising consistently and Southern Arizona's intense sun requiring reliable energy management, homeowners and businesses across Pima County are discovering the financial and practical benefits of solar energy and battery storage systems.
💰
Rising Energy Costs
Arizona electricity rates have increased steadily over the past decade, with Tucson Electric Power residential rates now averaging 12-14 cents per kWh. Solar systems lock in your energy costs for 25+ years, providing predictable savings that compound as utility rates continue climbing. Tucson businesses face commercial rates averaging 10-12 cents per kWh plus significant demand charges.
⛈️
Monsoon Weather & Grid Reliability
Southern Arizona experiences frequent monsoon storms, intense summer heatwaves, and seasonal weather events that regularly disrupt power across Pima County. Battery storage systems provide essential backup for home comfort, air conditioning, medical equipment, and business continuity. Average Tucson home experiences 3-5 power outages annually—battery systems bridge these gaps seamlessly while monsoon conditions persist.
☀️
Superior Solar Resources
Tucson receives some of the highest solar irradiance in the country, with approximately 286 sunny days annually—exceptional solar resources for renewable energy. While intense heat can affect some panels, our high-quality equipment is engineered to maintain performance in desert conditions. Well-designed systems generate significant annual kWh per installed kW, providing excellent return on investment for Southern Arizona installations.
📋
Available Incentives & Programs
The 30% Federal Investment Tax Credit remains available through 2032 for all solar installations. Arizona offers property tax exemptions for residential renewable energy systems, ensuring your solar investment doesn't increase property taxes. Net billing programs with Tucson Electric Power ensure you receive credit for excess solar production. Commercial installations qualify for accelerated MACRS depreciation, recovering 85% of costs within six years.

What Tucson Customers Say
Real results from homeowners, contractors, and businesses throughout Pima County and the Greater Tucson metropolitan area.
"Switching to solar with PES in Tucson saved us over $1,000 in our first year alone. Our 7.5kW system now covers most of our electricity usage, and the Tesla Powerwall kept our AC and essentials running during a 6-hour monsoon power outage last July. The PowerLink installer they recommended was professional and handled all the permits and TEP coordination seamlessly. Best investment we've made for our Oro Valley home."
Emily T.
Tucson Homeowner, Oro Valley
"As a solar contractor serving the Greater Tucson area, PES's fast delivery has been a game-changer for my business. When I need panels or inverters for installations across Pima County, materials arrive within 48 hours without me maintaining massive inventory. Their PowerLink bulk pricing and responsive support team have given me a real competitive advantage in Southern Arizona's growing solar market. Plus, they understand the high-heat performance requirements we deal with here."
David M.
Local Solar Contractor, Tucson
"Our manufacturing facility in South Tucson was paying significant monthly TEP bills with crushing demand charges. PES designed an 85kW rooftop system that's cut our electricity costs by over 50%. The federal tax credit and accelerated depreciation made the financial case compelling. System paid for itself in 5.8 years and now we've essentially eliminated demand charges during production hours. Highly recommend for any Tucson-area business looking to control energy costs."
