Solar Quotes in Flagstaff, AZ

If APS is your utility

  • APS buys the solar energy you don't use. You or your installer choose a buyback rider during the application: the Resource Comparison Proxy (RCP) export rate or Renewable Energy Net Billing (EPR-2), and you can change it later. Source: https://www.aps.com/en/Residential/Service-Plans/Understanding-Solar (accessed 2026-10-20)
  • APS's RCP rider sets the export rate at $0.05554 per kWh for the tranche running September 1, 2026 through August 31, 2027. A customer's initial RCP rate applies for 10 years from interconnection. Credits roll forward monthly, and after the December bill a check is issued if remaining credits exceed $25.

A note on the federal tax credit

The federal residential clean energy credit (25D) doesn't apply to expenditures made after December 31, 2025. The IRS treats an expenditure as made when installation is completed.

Questions to ask

  1. Which APS net metering or export rule will my system be on, and what is the current credit rate?
  2. How did you size the system against my last 12 months of usage, and what export share did you assume?
  3. Who files the interconnection application, and how long does permission to operate usually take here?
