Scottsdale is served by APS and is one of Arizona’s most affluent solar markets — with high home values, larger roof surfaces, and homeowners who frequently opt for premium equipment like battery storage and higher-efficiency panels. The average Scottsdale solar installation is larger than the state average at 14–16 kW, reflecting bigger homes and higher electricity consumption from pools, large HVAC systems, and EV charging. System costs typically run $30,000–$38,000 before the 30% federal tax credit, making the net investment $21,000–$27,000. APS’s avoided-cost export rate (roughly 2–3 cents/kWh) means Scottsdale homeowners benefit most from right-sizing their system to consume most of their solar production directly rather than exporting it. Battery storage — particularly the Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ Battery — is especially popular in Scottsdale for time-of-use optimization and backup power during monsoon outages.
