In a unanimous ruling, the Arizona Court of Appeals overturned a controversial fee on Arizona Public Service customers who have solar panels on their homes. When the Arizona Corporation Commission approved an APS rate hike in 2024, it also allowed the utility to charge solar customers an extra $2-$3 per month to cover what it characterized as “extra costs” it incurs to provide power to those residents if their panels fail or don’t generate enough electricity.
