APS Rebates

Can We Get APS Rebates For Our Solar Stable In AZ?

Hey guys, we have converted the stables on one of our Arizona farms to solar. The stables run a lot of electricity during the summer months with fans and misters for the horses. Winter months can get cold for the horses, so there are heating units in the stall that run in the evenings. The stables are also equipped with flood lights and cameras fo surveillance. The energy being generated from each stable was ridiculous. The power bills were far exceeding our budget for the stables on the property, we decided to cover all the stables on the property to solar power. The houses on the property are still running on city utilities, we may convert those to solar at some point if we see that the stables are truly saving us money on our utility bill.

So the question I have and should have asked the sales guy when we signed up for solar is, are APS rebates even a thing anymore? Do any of you guys know if they still offer some sort of incentive for going solar? I think that SRP still has something in place to entice people to convert to solar, but for some reason I was under the impression that APS rebates were no longer a thing.

horse farm in AZI called and left a message at Phoenix Green Team and have not heard back yet in regards tot he current APS rebates they have to offer. My hope is that we can save some money on the energy bill and put that money back into the horse trailers. They all need some work, new tires, some need electrical work, and others need new hitches. The horse trailers will all need to be refurbished before we transport any horses out of state. We hope to get the money together through fundraisers and saving money on various things like groceries and utility bills.

By the end of 2018 Honey Creek Farms will have transformed all of our horse stables into solar powered shelters. Our goal is to make our farms more environmentally friendly for the animals and the people that work on them. By 2019 the homes on the farms will also be converted to solar. All horse feed will be locally sourced organic feeds and we will have 100 gallon rain water collection bins  that will drip feed the horse trough and use rain waters for the drink.  All lighting on the property will be converted to solar by the year 2020.

Honey Creek Farms will continue it’s pursuit of organic, self sustained, horse farming communities across the country. As we expand we will be looking for more environmentally friendly ways to operate our farms, farm houses, stables, and crops. Stay tuned as we continue this green transformation into the the environmentally friendly Honey Creek Farms we always dreamed of being.
