Solar Energy in Arizona
Arizona has some of the best potential for solar in the United States. The state receives more sun than any other area in the nation, meaning a solar system can produce about 180% more than what it does in places like New York.
Policy changes and the reeling back of incentives has caused a bit of a challenge for solar in the state. Regardless, the federal solar tax credit and state-level tax credits combined with amazing sun coverage make going solar in Arizona a terrific option.

What are the pros and cons of installing solar panels in Arizona?
The advantages of installing solar panels include the federal tax credit and state tax credit. In addition to these incentives, Arizona receives the most sun in the US. This means that less panels are needed in order to completely wipe out your electric bill.
