3. Let’s take a closer look.
Solar Energy in Arizona
In 2017 Arizona ranked #3 in the country with 2,303 MW of installed solar capacity.
As much as two-fifths of Arizona’s renewable electricity generation came from solar energy.
But…. Is your installation a good deal for you?
Let’s take a closer look.

4. Who Owns the Installation?
You
Large upfront capital investment (loan?)
Keep energy savings (minus financing costs)
Solar Company
You signed 20-year Purchase Power Agreement
Must share the savings
Fixed cost of supply over long term

5. Risks Changes in utility company rates Price escalators
Rate structures adjusted to charge more for capacity
Higher demand charges, less savings on usage
Price escalators
Price increases that rise faster than actual electricity prices
Overbuilt systems
Encouraged to build a bigger system than needed
You pay for what you produce, not what you use

6. The Big Question
Are you saving money?
