Arizona Solar Sales Overview

Arizona is one of the largest residential solar markets in the country. High competition means high call volumes, which draws enforcement attention. The private right of action and AG enforcement create real compliance risk. Registration is inexpensive but required. The DST issue is Arizona-specific — the state stays on MST year-round, which catches out-of-state callers off guard twice a year. Manual dialing and inbound lead generation are the safest strategies.
