Worried about power bills in Elk Ridge? Rocky Mountain Power got a 4.7% residential rate increase approved in 2026, with a new 4.48% proposal for wildfire costs adding about $3.70 monthly. Blackouts from grid strain make it worse. New Tesla Solar Roof makes power and looks great on your home.
Utah's solar market is tough in February 2026. From Rocky Mountain Power's latest updates and industry reports, here are seven key pains for homeowners:
Rate Hikes Keep Coming: Rocky Mountain Power won a 4.7% residential increase in 2025 (only a quarter of their 18.1% ask). A new 4.48% proposal for wildfire insurance could add $3.70/month. Rates hit 9.32-12.01 cents per kWh in summer, adding $200-400 yearly.
ITC Expiration Raises Costs: The federal 30% solar tax credit ended January 1, 2026. Systems now cost 30% more upfront, like a $30,000 setup jumping to $39,000. Payback stretches 43% longer, and solar installs may drop 18% this year.
Lower Export Credits: Utah cut solar export rates to 5.6-5.9 cents per kWh. You earn 20-30% less selling extra power back, hurting savings amid rising demand.
Battery Wait Times: High demand delays Tesla Powerwall installs 1-3 months in Utah. Full setups take 2-6 months with permits, leaving homes at risk during blackouts.
Competitor Price Spikes: Post-ITC, non-Tesla solar averages $3.02 per watt, or $33,000+ for a 12 kW system. Rivals hike 50-100% or close, passing risks to you.
Grid Outages Increase: Utah saw over 100 major blackouts in 2025. Without quick batteries, families face spoiled food or lost work amid 2026 shortage warnings.
Install Delays and Rules: Permits add weeks to months. Competitors charge extra, making solar feel slow and pricey in a market with fewer options.
