Arizona Public Service has confirmed it donated funds to front groups running an anti-rooftop solar advertising campaign meant to turn Arizona ratepayers against net energy metering.

“APS recently acknowledged that it provided money to a Washington, D.C.-based conservative organization called 60 Plus,” the Arizona Republic reports. “It also gave money to another non-profit called Prosper.”

The APS monies supported the production and airing of television ads meant to fuel backlash against Arizona’s net metering incentives. One of the ads, produced by 60 Plus, attempted to tie solar service providers SolarCity and Sunrun with Solyndra, the solar manufacturer that went bankrupt in 2011.
