The holiday season in Arizona is filled with festive lights, gatherings, and extra energy consumption—but it also means higher electric bills. This year, why not let the Arizona sunshine power your holiday cheer? By going solar, homeowners can reduce their electricity costs while still enjoying a bright and festive season.
Arizona’s Solar Potential and Its Impact on Your Holiday Bills
Arizona ranks as one of the top states for solar energy production, with over 300 days of sunshine per year. In fact, Arizona’s solar power potential could generate more than 70 times the state’s current electricity consumption if fully utilized. By installing solar panels, you can tap into this abundant energy source to offset holiday lighting and heating costs, especially as winter rates climb with increased demand.
Beat the Holiday Surge in Utility Rates
Arizona utility providers, like APS and SRP, charge higher rates during peak hours. During the winter, energy demand spikes in the evenings when families are home, using lights, heating, and holiday decorations. By generating your own solar energy during daylight hours and using net metering, you can offset much of this increased usage and potentially receive credits for any excess energy produced.
Example of Potential Savings
Consider an average Arizona household’s monthly electric bill in winter, which can range from $120 to $200. Solar can reduce or even eliminate this cost, especially during the peak holiday season. Over a year, this can add up to savings of $1,400 to $2,400, depending on your energy usage and system size.
