The City is committed to sustainability and encourages its residents to do the same. Installing a solar photovoltaic (PV) system on your home is a safe and easy way to help reach the goals established by the Climate Action Plan. Benefits of solar power include cleaner air, increased energy security, and reduction of harmful emissions.

Northern Arizona Solar Co-op

We have teamed up with the nonprofit group Solar United Neighbors (SUN) for another round of the Northern Arizona Solar Co-op — a free group to help you go solar.

The solar co-op helps area homeowners and small business owners learn about solar and purchase solar panels together at a group rate from a single installer. After a competitive bidding process facilitated by SUN, a group of volunteers from the co-op select a solar company to complete the installations.

Joining the co-op does not obligate members to purchase solar or chargers. Instead, each member will have the option to individually purchase panels and electric vehicle chargers based on the installer's group rate.

Learn more about the co-op and visit the co-op page in Spanish.

Is rooftop solar a good fit for my home?

Consider the following when deciding if solar is right for your home:

• Does your roof or installation site have uninterrupted sun from 9 AM to 3 PM? Google's Project Sunroof is a free tool to assess your roof's solar potential. Savings suggested by Project Sunroof are likely inaccurate because the method is not disclosed and not tied to current local utility rates.
• Request a specific savings analysis from a qualified solar contractor.
• Consider the age and condition of your roof. Removing a solar PV system to replace a roof can be expensive, so it is recommended to replace or upgrade an old roof before installing a solar system.
