Arizona solar guide in plain English.

Q: What should Arizona homeowners compare for turnkey or DIY solar?

Turnkey: Your quote should match your exact utility plan and time-of-day prices. DIY: DIY needs special care because heat, roof work, and utility rules all matter.

Arizona has great sun. The best solar plan depends on APS, SRP, TEP, or your local utility.
