In 2017, the Arizona Corporation Commission approved Arizona Public Service Company’s
(APS) Solar Communities Program, a $45 million program that funds utility-owned PV system installations on low- to moderate-income (LMI) housing, multifamily housing, and non-residential properties (non-profits serving LMI customers, Title I Schools, and rural government buildings) in the APS service territory. Residential participants living in single-family homes receive a $30 bill credit per month for a 20-year period, and tenants of participating multifamily buildings receive a $15/month bill credit.11 As of September 2020, 700 PV systems had been installed through the program and total installed capacity is expected to exceed 3 MW once all construction has been completed
