Good news for Arizona homeowners: you will soon have (yet another) online source for solar-related information.

The Phoenix Business Journal yesterday reported that the Arizona Corporation Commission (ACC) will on Wednesday launch a new solar energy information website. Dubbed Arizona Goes Solar, the site will “provide a one-stop source of information on what residents and businesses need to know before they adopt solar.” Interestingly, several of the state’s utility companies — including Arizona Public Service (APS) and Salt River Project (SRP) — have had a hand in the site’s development.

According to the article,

Solar industry officials have been clamoring for more transparency in the industry in recent months, particularly in light of lowered incentive rates.Both APS and SRP cut back their incentives this past spring in the wake of unprecedented demand, prompting those in the industry to inquire about the incentives — where they were being spent and how many incentivized contracts were never fulfilled. Also on the website will be information about the state’s renewable energy standard, which requires utilities to get 15 percent of their power from renewable sources by 2025; educational workshops; and a map showing where residential and commercial solar systems are being installed.

Among the site’s offerings, I’ve got to say the most interesting is the Arizona solar map. The other bits of info are readily available from numerous sources, including this one and this one.
