Do your homework before adding rooftop solar panels
Adding solar panels to your roof can be a great way to help power your home with renewable energy. However, customers considering rooftop solar should go through the following steps to make sure it’s the best option:
- Review your bill. Customers with high usage during the day or those with the ability to shift usage to daytime hours benefit the most from investing in rooftop solar.
- Evaluate your property. A south-facing roof free of shade helps solar systems perform at their best. Before installing solar, schedule a Home Energy Audit to assess your home’s efficiency.
- See if you qualify for tax credits. Federal and state financial benefits aren’t available for all residents who install solar panels, so SRP recommends contacting a tax professional.
- Get an estimate. The solar calculator on SRP My Account™ is a great tool to help estimate installation costs.
It’s also important to work with a qualified contractor for any solar installation. We can connect you with SRP Preferred Solar Installers, who are trusted providers that are licensed, bonded, insured and trained to work with our solar price plans.

Canyon Lake to close for dam maintenance starting next month
On Sept. 16, the water level of Canyon Lake will be lowered for approximately 16 weeks so that critical dam safety inspections and maintenance can be conducted. Tonto National Forest will close the lake, including all boat ramps and access points, during this time.
SRP and the U.S. Bureau of Reclamation perform these safety measures every 20 years to ensure dam safety and water reliability for our 2.5 million Valley customers. During the project, water will continue to be stored in other reservoirs to ensure no water is wasted while the work is conducted.
To learn more about the project, visit srp.net/canyonlake.

Keeping the power on during the blazing summer
We’re in the hottest part of the summer, and SRP wants to help keep our customers safe during the triple-digit temperatures. We partner with the National Weather Service (NWS) to stay informed about upcoming Extreme Heat Warnings. Whenever the NWS issues such a warning, SRP will not disconnect power, regardless of payment status.
In addition, we will not disconnect power for any customers during the SRP Summer Moratorium from July through August. Keep in mind that you’ll still be charged for the energy you use during this time, so it’s important to keep making payments to avoid accumulating debt. After the Summer Moratorium ends, service may be disconnected for unpaid or past-due balances unless an Extreme Heat Warning is issued by the NWS.
Please visit srp.net/heat for more information on Extreme Heat Warnings.
