Arizona solar leads

Solar radiation in Phoenix

Phoenix is by far Arizona’s largest city in the Census Bureau’s July 1, 2025 estimates. For Phoenix, the PVWatts Calculator, the NREL model now published by the National Laboratory of the Rockies, reports 6.48 kWh per square meter per day reaching a standard array (checked October 9, 2026).

How it was run: PVWatts version 8 with the default system, a fixed open-rack array aimed due south at a 20-degree tilt, at the city’s Census gazetteer coordinates, on the National Solar Radiation Database typical-year weather. Tucson, Flagstaff or a different roof would give another value; the purpose is a like-for-like comparison between states.

Arizona solar contractor licensing

The Registrar of Contractors licenses Arizona contractors by trade, with separate residential, commercial and dual licenses. Solar sits on top of those trade licenses. A.R.S. 32-1170.02 says that to qualify as a solar contractor an applicant applies to the registrar, passes an examination specific to the solar requirements of the license class held or sought, and has the license marked to show solar qualification within its scope (as of October 9, 2026).

The installation statute adds to this. Under A.R.S. 44-1762(E), an individual who installs a solar energy device must, besides being a licensed solar contractor, hold the general license appropriate to the device; installers of a solar water heater or a photovoltaic device must hold an appropriate contractor’s license. Subsection (A) requires at least a two-year warranty on collectors, heat exchangers, storage units and their installation (or an output commitment under 44-1763), and one year on the other components. Systems designed or installed by the final owner are exempt from subsections (A) through (E).

Subsection (I) deals with roofs. Before a rooftop installation, the licensed contractor must evaluate whether the roof can support the system and recommend that the customer get an inspection by a licensed roofing contractor, and by installing on the roof the contractor becomes responsible for roof damage the installation causes.

How Arizona taxes solar energy devices

Three state statutes treat home solar differently from other improvements (all checked October 9, 2026). A.R.S. 43-1083 allows a resident an income tax credit for installing a solar energy device in the taxpayer’s Arizona residence, equal to twenty-five percent of the device cost and capped at $1,000 per residence, with any unused amount carried forward for up to five years. A.R.S. 42-11054(C)(2) says solar energy devices and grid-tied photovoltaic systems built mainly for on-site use are considered to add no value to the property for assessment. A.R.S. 42-5061(M) deducts sales of solar energy devices from the retail tax base, for retailers registered as solar energy retailers.

These are the statutes as written; whether a given homeowner qualifies is a question for a tax professional, and this page does not estimate what any household receives.

Arizona counties by owner-occupied detached homes

The ten Arizona counties with the most owner-occupied single-family detached homes are listed below with their owner-occupied homes and detached share. The source is the Census Bureau’s table B25032 at county level, 2020-2024. It reports housing, not where requests come from.

Maricopa County alone holds 959,934 owner-occupied detached homes, more than the other nine counties in the table combined, and the highest detached share (85.1%). Mohave (72.4%) and Yuma (71.9%) have the lowest shares of the ten in the 2020-2024 county data.

Arizona solar lead filters

Solar buyers generally filterFilterA rule that decides which leads a buyer is offered, based on fields such as vertical, sub-type, state, ZIP code, homeownership or accident details. Glossary on a few fields from each request. For Arizona they line up with the facts above as follows:

• Homeowner status: the agreement is signed by the owner; see the owner-occupied counts above.
• Project type: the solar work requested, described broadly; the exact options are set with the final solar form.
• Timeframe: whether the homeowner wants to move soon or is still reading up.
• ZIP code: the area an installer covers, with the county table as a guide to the housing mix.

The filters for Arizona solar leads are agreed with each buyer during onboarding. Exclusive or shared routing for solar leads is agreed with each buyer during onboarding. See the sample solar lead for the complete field list.
