Arizona does not authorize a statewide community solar program. The Arizona Corporation Commission rejected community solar dockets in 2015 and 2022. Maricopa County residents in APS or SRP territory rely on utility-owned solar communities or rooftop net metering instead.
Unlike 22 other states, Arizona has not enacted shared-solar legislation. The Arizona Corporation Commission denied community solar petitions in Docket E-00000J-14-0023 and again in 2022. APS offers a Solar Communities subscription program for limited-income customers and a Solar Partner residential program. Salt River Project, which serves much of Maricopa County, runs the SRP Solar Choice subscriber program. These utility-controlled offerings differ from true community solar where third parties build and credits flow to subscribers. Maricopa County itself has no community solar role beyond zoning utility-scale projects in unincorporated areas. The 2024 RUCO and Solar United Neighbors petitions remain pending. Renters and apartment dwellers have very limited options.
No homeowner penalty applies. Operating an unauthorized community solar program would violate ACC utility regulation under ARS 40-281 with civil penalties up to $5,000 per day. Falsely marketing nonexistent community solar could trigger consumer-fraud action under ARS 44-1521.
