Are you getting the most out of today's solar incentives?

For systems installed in 2026, Arizona's own credits and exemptions matter more than the old federal residential credit.

White Mountains Solar helps Show Low and White Mountains homeowners understand what still applies: the Arizona residential solar tax credit (up to $1,000), sales tax exemption on qualifying solar equipment, and property tax protection on added solar value. We also walk you through $0-down financing options when you want local install support.

2026 update: The federal residential solar tax credit (Section 25D) ended for systems placed in service after Dec 31, 2025. Homeowners who buy a system in 2026 generally do not claim the old 30% federal credit. Arizona's state credit and exemptions remain the main homeowner incentives. This is general information, not tax advice. Confirm details with your tax professional.

What changed with the federal credit

Through 2025, many homeowners claimed the Residential Clean Energy Credit (often called the ITC) at 30% of qualifying system cost. That residential credit no longer applies to systems placed in service after Dec 31, 2025.If you completed installation in 2025, ask your tax pro about claiming any remaining federal credit on the correct return. For 2026 purchases and installs, plan around Arizona incentives, utility rules, and cash flow and financing, not a federal 30% homeowner credit.Commercial and third-party owned projects can follow different federal rules. If you are exploring a lease or PPA, ask who claims any business credit and how that shows up in your price.

Most popular Arizona solar incentives

  • Arizona Residential Solar Tax Credit25% of qualifying solar costs, capped at $1,000 lifetime. Claimed on your Arizona return (commonly Form 310). Unused amounts may carry forward per state rules.
  • Solar equipment sales tax exemptionQualifying solar equipment can be purchased without Arizona transaction privilege (sales) tax, which lowers upfront cost.
  • Energy equipment property tax exemptionAdded solar value is generally protected from increasing your property tax assessment under Arizona's renewable energy property rules.
Local utility programs (APS, SRP, and others) can add rebates or interconnection requirements. We help match your site to the right path.

Solar incentive FAQs

Does the Arizona tax credit apply to a second home?Often yes for a qualifying owned second home used as a residence, subject to Arizona Department of Revenue rules. Leases and rentals are treated differently. Confirm your property type with your tax pro before you claim.
Do I have to use the full credit the first year?Arizona's residential solar credit can generally be carried forward if you cannot use the full amount in year one (commonly up to five years). Keep your invoices and Form 310 records.
Can I use the credit on a rental property?Usually no for a pure rental under the residential credit rules. Owner-occupied homes are the typical path. Ask your CPA if a commercial or other credit could apply instead.
When does a credit take effect, when I order or when it is installed?Credits usually key off when the system is placed in service (installed and operating), not when you place a deposit. For any leftover 2025 federal claims, installation timing was critical. For Arizona's credit, follow current Form 310 instructions for your tax year.
Is the 30% federal residential credit still available in 2026?No for most homeowner purchases placed in service after Dec 31, 2025. Do not budget a new 2026 DIY kit or install around a federal 30% personal credit. Focus on Arizona's $1,000-capped credit, sales tax exemption, property tax exemption, and financing.
