SOAR Energy, the solar company powered by Better Earth, announced its partnership with Gryphon Roofing, a leading residential and commercial roofing contractor servicing Arizona, which holds the second highest solar potential in the nation according to the U.S. Energy Information Administration. SOAR has also named Gryphon Roofing its Preferred Roofing Partner within the state, operating in Phoenix, Glendale, Scottsdale, Gilbert, and Chandler markets.
The move comes as utility rates continue to skyrocket across Arizona, with Arizona Public Service (APS) charging nearly 30 cents per unit of energy during summer’s peak season. Residents can turn to renewable energy alternatives and reduce their energy bills by up to 40 percent. Both Gryphon Roofing and SOAR Energy share a mission of making rooftop solar energy easy and comfortable with little to no consumption changes necessary by the homeowner.
“Facing the wrath of high utility costs, homeowners in many of Arizona’s largest markets are choosing to make their homes more energy efficient through solar,” said Brian Decker, CEO of SOAR Energy. “By partnering with the Gryphon Roofing team, who is highly recognized across Arizona and serves as the preferred roofer for some of the country’s largest hedge funds, residents will be able to confidently make the shift and take power back into their own hands without having to pay out of pocket for their solar system.”
According to the U.S. EIA, Arizona also ranks among the top five states in total solar-powered generating capacity from utility and small-scale installations, with nearly 5,500 megawatts. Further, Arizona’s residential sector consumes more electricity than 75 percent of states and more per capita than 70 percent of states. Residents can receive a federal tax credit of up to 30 percent if their roof needs to be replaced while installing their system, as well as be reimbursed by APS for excess power that is produced and not used.
“Leveraging both Gryphon Roofing and SOAR Energy’s unmatched rooftop capabilities, we’re looking forward to installing reliable solar systems for homeowners across major Arizona markets and getting them on track to saving money,” said Russel Hyman, CEO and President at Gryphon Roofing. “Our crews specialize in seamless installation and repair, so through this partnership, homeowners can be confident in their solar systems.”
