Vivint Solar powers Phoenix

There’s a cleaner way to power your home. We’re installing rooftop solar panels in Phoenix, which means you can enjoy years of clean, renewable energy. And with free installation and maintenance, you can breathe easy.

There are few places as obviously well suited for solar energy as Phoenix. Situated in the Valley of the Sun, there’s a constant stream of solar power beaming straight into the capital of Arizona.

Living in Phoenix, you get the perks of city life along with an abundance of nature in the nearby desert. On a national scale, Phoenix still offers some of the best opportunities for the most reasonable cost of living in a major city.

Of course, living in Arizona’s most major city also means your electricity rates are also about 6 percent higher than the rest of the state.

Have you thought about capturing all that sun to save money on your energy bills? If so, you’re not alone. Homeowners across Phoenix are doubling up on the cost-of-living advantages in Phoenix by installing home solar and seeing a big difference in their monthly expenses.

Phoenix solar incentives and tax credits

We’re happy to serve Phoenix with solar. We also like to help inform homeowners about the various ways they can save on their solar install with state and federal incentives and tax breaks.

Here are just some of the top ways to earn money back on your investment in clean energy and locked-in energy rates.

Residential Solar Systems Tax Credit

This Arizona State tax credit means you can claim 25 percent (up to $1000) of your new rooftop solar panels on your state income taxes. You can claim this reimbursement for the year you installed the rooftop solar system.

The system has to be new and covered by a minimum of a 1- to 2-year warranty for specific equipment. Vivint Solar proudly offers product and workmanship warranties for every system we sell.

Solar Equipment Sales Tax Exemption

This exemption means that homeowners in Phoenix don’t have to pay any sales tax on the solar panels and other equipment associated with their new rooftop system. That 100 percent tax rebate on eligible solar equipment can make a big difference!

Arizona Energy Equipment Property Tax Exemption

Sometimes making improvements to your home can be intimidating because of the looming increase in property taxes. This can include installing solar.

With this exemption, Phoenix homeowners who install solar energy don’t have to worry about this tax hike at all. You can install solar and save, and not sweat your property tax bill at all.

Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

Not to be overlooked is the federal tax credit for homeowners who purchase a system either up front or with a solar loan. Both options are available through Vivint Solar.

With the federal ITC, you’re eligible for 30 percent of your system cost back when you file your yearly federal income taxes. It’s one of the best tax incentives out there for solar, but your system has to be in service by the end of 2019 to claim the full 30 percent credit. It steps down to 26 percent in 2020 and 22 percent in 2021 before phasing out completely.
