Will SRP buy back solar power?
However, on these new plans SRP has dropped the buyback rates for excess solar energy to just 2.8 cents per kWh. The kWh retail rate (what you purchase from SRP) is also slightly higher when compared to E-27. Still, for certain customers, these non-demand plans will pencil quite nicely with an ROI as low as 8 years!
How does SRP work with solar?
SRP net billing allows you to at least get some credit on your power bill for the excess solar electricity your panels produce which you can’t use onsite. Your credits, while at a lower rate than you pay for electricity, roll over to the next month’s bill.

What credits are available for solar?
In December 2020, Congress passed an extension of the ITC, which provides a 26% tax credit for systems installed in 2020-2022, and 22% for systems installed in 2023. (Systems installed before December 31, 2019 were eligible for a 30% tax credit.) The tax credit expires starting in 2024 unless Congress renews it.
Can you have solar without a smart meter?

Does solar increase home value?

Is the solar tax credit a one time credit?
Currently, the solar ITC is a one-time credit. One of its cooler features, however, is that you can carry over the excess to the next year if you can’t use it all when you file. For example, imagine that you only owed $5,000 in taxes but received the $5,200 home solar credit from the previous example.
Do solar panels increase property taxes?

Will my electric meter run backwards with solar panels?
If you have an old ‘analogue’ electricity meter, and a solar PV system installed you may sometimes find you meter running backwards. If your meter goes backwards you are going to be better off, since you will pay less for your electricity, and you do not really need to worry about this as it is not your problem.
Do smart meters work with solar PV panels?
A smart meter won’t stop your solar panels working and generating electricity, and it won’t alter the amount of electricity you get to use. This means that they can’t communicate with the smart meter, and so your IHD won’t reflect the electricity that you’re generating and either using or selling back to the grid.
