The Home Energy Efficiency Rebates (HOMES) and Home Electrification and Appliance Rebates (HEAR, formerly known as HEEHRA) programs are key initiatives under the Biden-Harris Administration’s Investing in America agenda. These programs comprise the Home Energy Rebates, contributing to a healthier environment while combating climate impacts and making energy efficiency more affordable. This fall, Arizona will fully launch the remainder of its HEAR program, offering rebates of up to $14,000 to help lower- and middle-income homeowners and renters upgrade their equipment and appliances. The program will cover up to 100% of costs for lower-income families and up to 50% for moderate-income families (those earning between 80-150% of their area median income). Once the HOMES and HEAR programs are fully deployed, an estimated 23,000+ households will benefit, including those reached in the initial phase. This initiative is expected to save approximately 105.133 GWh of energy (equivalent to removing many cars from the road and reducing CO2 emissions) and create over 2,600 clean energy jobs.

Federal Residential Solar Energy Tax Credit

The  federal residential solar energy tax credit can be claimed on federal  income taxes for a percentage of the cost of a solar energy system paid  for by the taxpayer. The installation of the system must be completed  during the tax year.

Solar  energy systems installed between 2022 and 2032 are eligible for a tax  credit worth 30% of the cost of the system and its installation. At this  time there is no maximum amount that can be claimed.

Renewable Energy Production Tax Credit

An individual or corporate income tax credit is available for  taxpayers who own a qualified energy generator that first produces  electricity before Jan. 1, 2021, using a qualified energy resource.

A qualified energy generator is a facility that has at least 5  megawatts (or 5,000 kW) generating capacity located on land in Arizona  that is owned or leased by the taxpayer, that produces electricity using  a qualified energy resource and that sells electricity to an unrelated  entity, unless the electricity is sold to a public service corporation.

Approval and certification from the Arizona Department of Revenue is  required prior to claiming the tax credit. Applications must be  submitted between January 2 and January 31 of the following calendar  year of production. Applications not submitted in January will not be  accepted. No more than $20 million can be approved by the department in a  calendar year.
