Solar screens are a practical upgrade for Phoenix-area homeowners who want to reduce direct sunlight, improve comfort, and make hot rooms easier to manage during Arizona’s warmest months.
If you are an SRP customer, you may also be able to lower your project cost through the SRP shade screen rebate program. This rebate can apply to qualifying solar screens installed on eligible windows.
SRP’s rebate rules can change, so homeowners should always review the latest program details directly with SRP before starting a project.

What Is the SRP Solar Screen Rebate?
The SRP solar screen rebate is part of SRP’s shade screen and window film rebate program. For homeowners considering solar screens, the program may help offset part of the installation cost when the project meets SRP’s requirements.
SRP currently lists the rebate at $1 per square foot for qualifying shade screens.
That means if 200 square feet of solar screens qualify, the potential rebate would be $200.
This blog post focuses only on solar screens. Other products may have different requirements, and not every shade product will qualify the same way.
Why Solar Screens Make Sense in Phoenix
Phoenix homeowners deal with a lot of direct sun. Certain rooms can feel warmer than the rest of the home, especially when large windows face west, south, or east.
Solar screens are installed on the outside of the window. Their job is to help reduce the amount of sunlight and heat that reaches the glass.
Solar screens can help with:
Harsh afternoon sun
Hot bedrooms and living areas
Glare on TVs and computer screens
Fading on furniture, flooring, and blinds
Daytime privacy
Comfort in rooms with heavy sun exposure
For many homes in the Valley, solar screens are one of the more straightforward ways to improve comfort without replacing the windows.
Who Can Qualify for the SRP Solar Screen Rebate?
SRP has specific requirements for its shade screen rebate program. To qualify, homeowners must meet SRP’s current program rules.
In general, the rebate may be available to permanent SRP residential electric customers who live in an eligible home type.
Eligible home types may include:
Single-family detached homes
Attached homes
Mobile homes
Apartments
Condos
The home must also have qualifying windows, and the solar screens must meet SRP’s current performance and installation requirements.
Before moving forward, it is always a good idea to confirm your eligibility directly with SRP.
Which Windows May Qualify for the SRP Solar Screen Rebate?
The SRP rebate is not designed for every window on every home. It is focused on windows that receive direct sun and contribute to heat gain inside the home.
Qualifying windows are usually sun-exposed windows, such as:
West-facing windows
South-facing windows
East-facing windows
These windows must enclose an air-conditioned space. The solar screens also need to be installed on the exterior of clear glass windows.
North-facing windows may not qualify because they usually do not receive the same amount of direct sun as west-, south-, and east-facing windows.
Since every home is different, homeowners should confirm final window eligibility with SRP.
What Type of Solar Screens Are Required?
To qualify for SRP’s shade screen rebate, solar screens must meet the program’s solar heat gain blocking requirement.
SRP currently requires qualifying shade screens to block at least 80% of solar heat gain on eligible sun-exposed windows.
All Pro Shade Concepts offers both 80% and 90% solar screen options.
The difference between the two is mostly about performance and appearance.
An 80% solar screen allows a little more natural light and outward visibility. A 90% solar screen blocks more sunlight and usually provides more daytime privacy.
How Much Is the SRP Solar Screen Rebate?
SRP currently lists the shade screen rebate at $1 per square foot for qualifying solar screens.
Here are a few examples:
| Qualifying Solar Screen Area | Potential SRP Rebate |
|---|---|
| 100 sq. ft. | $100 |
| 150 sq. ft. | $150 |
| 200 sq. ft. | $200 |
| 250 sq. ft. | $250 |
| 300 sq. ft. | $300 |
These examples are for general planning only. The final rebate amount depends on SRP’s rules and how much of the project qualifies.
In some cases, not every window on the home may qualify for the rebate.

Example Cost After the SRP Solar Screen Rebate
All Pro Shade Concepts charges $8 per square foot installed for solar screens, with a $500 minimum project charge.
Here is how the possible rebate could affect the final project cost if the full square footage qualifies:
| Solar Screen Area | Installed Cost at $8/Sq. Ft. | Potential SRP Rebate | Example Cost After Rebate |
|---|---|---|---|
| 100 sq. ft. | $800 | $100 | $700 |
| 150 sq. ft. | $1,200 | $150 | $1,050 |
| 200 sq. ft. | $1,600 | $200 | $1,400 |
| 250 sq. ft. | $2,000 | $250 | $1,750 |
| 300 sq. ft. | $2,400 | $300 | $2,100 |
This table assumes the full solar screen area qualifies for the SRP rebate. Your actual rebate may be different depending on your windows, your home, and SRP’s current program rules.

How to Apply for the SRP Solar Screen Rebate
The rebate application process is handled through SRP. Homeowners should review the current SRP rebate page before starting a project so they understand the latest requirements.
In general, the process may include:
Confirming that you are a permanent SRP residential electric customer
Checking that your home type is eligible
Choosing qualifying solar screens
Installing the solar screens on eligible windows
Keeping a copy of your paid invoice
Submitting the rebate application to SRP

SRP may also request documentation or inspect the installed solar screens to confirm the project meets program requirements.
Common Mistakes That Can Affect Rebate Eligibility
The SRP solar screen rebate can be helpful, but homeowners should be careful not to assume every project automatically qualifies.
Common mistakes include:
Installing solar screens on windows that do not qualify
Missing the rebate submission deadline
Not keeping a paid invoice
Choosing screens that do not meet the 80% requirement
Assuming north-facing windows qualify
Not checking SRP’s latest rules before installation
Confusing solar screens with other shade products
The safest approach is to review SRP’s current program details before starting the project and make sure the screens meet the rebate requirements.

All Pro Shade Concepts installs solar screens throughout the Phoenix metro area, including Phoenix, Glendale, Peoria, Scottsdale, Surprise, Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Goodyear, Buckeye, and nearby Valley communities.
Homes throughout the Valley deal with strong sun exposure, especially during the summer. West-facing windows can be especially difficult because they take on the afternoon sun when the day is often at its hottest.
Custom solar screens can help reduce glare and direct sun exposure while giving the home a clean, finished look from the outside.
