Solar brings more benefits than it receives through subsidies like net metering, according to a new report by Environment Arizona.
Utilities like Arizona Public Service and Salt River Project say customers with solar panels don’t pay their fair share to use the electric grid. APS estimates solar customers cost the utility about $67 per month, which gets shifted to non-solar customers. APS is asking the Arizona Corporation Commission to increase its monthly solar fee from $5 to $21 in order to make up for those costs.
