For over two decades, Arizona has had one of the most successful solar energy rollouts in the United States. Today, our state ranks fifth in the nation in solar-powered electricity generation, with over 5,743 Megawatts (MW) installed, nearly 200,000 solar customers throughout and over $250 million saved on utility bills, according to both the U.S. Energy Information Administration and Solar Energy Industries Association.

Though more Arizonans are thinking about making the switch to solar power every day, jumping in without any prior knowledge can make for a challenging and complicated process if you are unsure of what to look for.
