Solar Phoenix 1 & 2: Solar Rooftop Financing

(download full brief)

The essentials

  • Solar Phoenix 1 & 2 are a series of city-sponsored residential solar financing programs.
  • The Solar Phoenix program is a federally-recognized public-private partnership that allows Phoenix home owners to finance solar panels through leasing at low or no upfront costs.
  • The National Bank of Arizona funded both Solar Phoenix 1 & 2 with $25 million to initiate the program. The City of Phoenix partnered with Solar City for the first iteration and currently partners with Paramount Solar to provide panels, installation services, and maintenance.
  • The leased solar panels are expected to generate sixty to eighty percent of a residence’s power demand.
