當(dāng)太陽能發(fā)電技術(shù)成本降低時，許多居民和企業(yè)紛紛涌入 ――然而Arizona州鳳凰城以及圖森等地區(qū)的太陽能光伏退稅補(bǔ)貼已遭削減。
    圖森電力最近對安裝其太陽能電池板的居民進(jìn)行了補(bǔ)貼削減，以此應(yīng)對“前所未有”的需求。
    今年，由于太陽能技術(shù)來降低成本，美國Arizona州南部1100多人保留了TEP SunShare補(bǔ)貼回扣 - 超過前9年總和。
    TEP，UniSource能源公司的一分支，現(xiàn)在是請求Arizona監(jiān)管委員會批將Sunshare的并網(wǎng)補(bǔ)貼從原來的3美元每瓦降低到2.25美元每瓦。
    如果監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)同意，此舉將影響2010年7月7日后申請安裝的用戶。

    Residents and businesses are flocking to the solar banner as technology costs reduce - in Arizona, rebates have been cut in Phoenix as well as Tucson
    Tucson Electric Power has become the latest utility to lower its rebates for residents who install solar panels, as a response to “unprecedented” demand.
    Lower costs of solar technology have prompted 1,100 people in southern Arizona to reserve TEP SunShare rebates this year ? more than the previous nine years combined.
    TEP, which is part of UniSource Energy Corporation, is now asking the Arizona Corporation Commission for permission to cut its SunShare rebates from $3 to $2.25 per watt for grid-tied photovoltaic projects.
    If the regulators agree, the move would affect applications received after July 7, 2010.
