We absorb all risks—get stable pricing on solar panels and batteries as costs climb elsewhere.

Introduction

Are energy costs climbing in Lehi? Rocky Mountain Power rates rose 4.7% in 2025, with another 4.48% proposed for 2026. Blackouts risk grows too. What if you could secure stable power?

Pain Points Analysis

Utah's solar market hurts in 2026. ITC ended for homes. Rates spike. We used web searches for fresh data from Rocky Mountain Power, EnergySage, SEIA, and NERC. Here are seven pains, simply explained.

• Rocky Mountain Power Rate Hikes: Rates jumped 4.7% in 2025, adding $4.31 monthly for homes. A 4.48% increase is proposed for 2026 to fund wildfire risks, per Utah News Dispatch. This could add 18% more, hitting Lehi budgets.

• Higher Costs Post-ITC: The 30% federal credit expired in 2026. Residential installs may drop 18% year-over-year, per US Solar Market Insight. Payback stretches 43% longer—now 14 years average in Utah.

• Long Battery Wait Times: Tesla Powerwall delays reach 9-10 weeks in Utah, with some installs taking 7 months due to demand, permits, and backorders, as seen in Reddit and Tesla reports.

• Expensive Competitor Pricing: Utah solar averages $2.74 per watt. An 11.79 kW system costs about $32,300 before rebates, per EnergySage January 2026 data. Powerwalls from others hit $17,000+ with extra fees.

• Grid Strain and Blackouts: NERC warns of high energy shortfall risks in Utah for 2025-2026. Growth and weather stress the grid, increasing outages and bills for Lehi families.

• Slower Solar Payback: Without ITC, Utah payback averages 11-17 years. Reduced export credits make returns slower, per Aurora Solar and SEIA.

• Policy Hurdles: New Utah rules add taxes on solar facilities from January 2026. This limits options and keeps prices high, as noted in state briefs.

These make solar hard. But we have fixes.
