Why Solar Makes Sense in Phoenix, Arizona
Phoenix is the #1 city in the US for solar energy potential, averaging 299 sunny days and over 5.7 peak sun hours per day, more than virtually any other major American city. The City of Phoenix has a dedicated Solar Fast Track permitting program for qualifying residential systems. APS (Arizona Public Service) and SRP (Salt River Project) both operate in the Phoenix metro area and have distinct interconnection processes.

Phoenix Permitting Details
- SolarAPP+: Phoenix officially supports the SolarAPP+ automated permitting platform, which can shrink approval timelines from weeks to just a matter of days.
- Requirements: A complete permit submission must cover site plans, three-line diagrams, and stamped structural calculations.
- Costs: Roof-mounted residential permits in areas like Maricopa County typically fall around $300, though exact fees depend on the specific jurisdiction.
- Code Compliance: All solar designs must meet NEC guidelines and local fire code standards, including mandated rooftop panel setback requirements.
Key Considerations
- Turnaround Time: Conventional permitting routes can take anywhere from 2 to 6 weeks, while SolarAPP+-eligible systems move through approval considerably faster.
- Engineering Stamp: Make sure your permit design provider delivers a licensed PE stamp – most Arizona jurisdictions require it for plan approval.
- Utility Interconnection: Many full-service providers also prepare and submit the interconnection paperwork needed to tie your system into SRP or APS.
