Solar power in Arizona

In 2001 APS and Embry-Riddle Aeronautical University constructed a 190 kW single-axis tracking photovoltaic power plant.

[4][5] In 2002, Love Field Airport, in Prescott, Arizona, began construction of a 5 megawatt (MW) photovoltaic power plant.

[12] In 2008 Governor Janet Napolitano said that Arizona had the potential to become "the Persian Gulf of solar energy".

[13] In 2012, the NREL determined that Arizona has the potential to install 5,147 GW of photovoltaic power plants, and/or up to 3,528 GW of concentrated solar power plants (CSP), sufficient to generate more than three times total US consumption in 2012.

In 2012 the first 100 MW of the Agua Caliente Solar Project was connected to the grid, making it the largest photovoltaic power plant in North America, and third largest in the world, being slightly larger than the 97 MW Sarnia Photovoltaic Power Plant.

By July over 200 MW had been completed, making it the largest photovoltaic power plant in the world.

The plant will provide 5% of the power for Arizona Public Service, the state's largest utility.

These non-utility scale estimates project that, Arizona generated the following additional solar energy.

[68] IREC best practices, based on experience, recommends perpetual roll over of kWh credits.

[70] Historically, the states' utilities have led repeated, failed efforts to eliminate net metering.
