We all know that the shoe fits when it comes to solar water heating in Arizona. Just look at all that sunshine. But how could it be that California solar energy regulations could have an impact on how the solar energy industry works in Arizona?

According to the Phoenix Business Journal, the newly approved “large-scale solar thermal plant” in California could mean an overall and refreshed look at solar energy in the Southwestern United States. This isn’t just good news for those who own and operate solar power companies in Arizona — it’s phenomenal news for Arizona energy consumers as well.

Todd Woody of the New York Times notes that there has been an aggressive march toward passing solar energy regulations all across the Southwest, but this newly approved solar power plant in California could be one of the most powerful catalysts the industry has seen in a long time.

Of course there will always be proponents and opponents of the solar energy and other renewable energy sources because though most consumers wish to preserve and “go green” they are also scared of the change and unsure of the longterm benefits they might garner from a reality-based standpoint.

At Adair Solar we strive to help make this transition an easy one — we offer ways for Arizona hot water heating through solar technology and hope to see the industry grow and hopefully become the new norm for the entire region.

Could it be that wind and solar energy in Arizona are the not-to-distant wave of the future? For many Arizonans and transplants who have lived here for a while, solar energy is nothing new — some use it to heat their pools exclusively while others take the more aggressive and long-term payoff of photovoltaic cells that heat the water throughout their homes entirely.

According to Today’s Energy Solutions, as quoted by Walter Kohn, “Ongoing research and development of alternative energy could lead to a new era in human history in which two renewable sources — solar and wind — will become Earth’s dominant contributors of energy (…)”

It only stands to reason then, that in the sunniest and hottest state of the union, Arizona, solar heating of water will become the norm. Getting on the bandwagon with solar water heaters in Arizona will be every consumer’s best bet.
