Phoenix, AZ is the capital and largest city of the U.S. state of Arizona and is the sixth most populated city in the United States. Phoenix is home to 1,445,632 people according to the official 2010 U.S. Census Bureau data and is the anchor of the Phoenix metropolitan area, the 14th largest metro area by population in the United States with more than 4.1 million people.
With over 300 days of sunshine, Phoenix is one of the best places to harness the power of the sun. Known as “The Valley of the Sun,” Phoenix has one of the fastest growing solar energy markets in the United States. This is good news for homeowners since utilities have been steadily increasing electricity rates. electricity prices are expected to go up 3-10% per year, so even with only a 3% percent increase per year, utility bills would double by 2035! In fact, Arizona Public Service Co., the largest utility provider in Arizona, has filed a preliminary notice with the state indicating that it will seek a rate increase beginning in 2012.
Fortunately for Phoenix residents who want to combat these increases by investing in home solar power, generous solar rebates and solar financing options currently exist through federal and state governments and local utilities. Phoenix residents that have taken advantages of these rebates and installed solar panels have typically cut their bills by approximately 20-40% (source: www.gosolarinarizona.com).
