Arizona Public Service hopes to more than quadruple the monthly fee it charges to solar customers, advocates for the rooftop solar industry say.

The move comes just weeks after the Salt River Project board approved a $50 monthly solar charge on users in its territory.

Solar leasers and industry experts predicted APS would ask the Arizona Corporation Commission for an increase to the $5 monthly fee the Commission approved in 2013. Those predictions were bolstered when Prosper, an advocacy group that spent more than $1 million on APS’s behalf in 2013 supporting the utility’s solar surcharge, voiced support to SRP’s rate hike.

The fees are used to offset solar customers’ grid usage.
