Utah Solar Incentives in July 2026: What's Actually Available Now

If you have been researching Utah solar incentives, you have probably noticed the landscape changed fast in 2026. The federal residential solar tax credit ended January 1, 2026. Tesla's own instant manufacturer rebate, which many installers leaned on through early summer, has now ended as well. If you are wondering what is left, here is the honest, current answer.

What actually ended

Two things went away this year. First, the federal tax credit for cash and loan solar buyers ended January 1, 2026, so you no longer get a percentage of your system cost back on your taxes. Second, Tesla's manufacturer-funded instant rebate program, which many Utah homeowners used earlier this year, has concluded. If a company is still advertising that specific offer, ask when it actually ends, because it is no longer standard.

What is still available through Mike

Ask Solar Mike still offers 30 percent off qualifying solar and Powerwall systems. On top of that, Mike offers his own $2,000 rebate, applied directly to your project. If you are a Rocky Mountain Power customer, there is a separate $2,000 rebate available through Rocky Mountain Power's own program, which stacks with Mike's offer. For Rocky Mountain Power customers, that is 30 percent off plus up to $4,000 in combined rebates. For homeowners on a municipal utility, such as Provo, Lehi, or Murray, the 30 percent plus Mike's $2,000 rebate still applies, though the RMP-specific rebate does not.

Why the Rocky Mountain Power rebate is utility-specific

Utility rebate programs are funded and administered by that utility for its own ratepayers. Rocky Mountain Power's $2,000 program is only available if RMP is your electric provider. If you live in a city with its own municipal utility, like Provo City Power or Murray City Power, you are not an RMP customer, so that particular rebate does not apply to you, even though Mike's 30 percent and $2,000 rebate still do.

Why rates are still climbing even without the tax credit

None of this changes the core rate story. Utah utilities are still projecting close to 10 percent annual electricity rate increases, up from a historical 4 percent, driven by AI data-center demand and the cost of modernizing an aging grid. That climb is the real long-term reason to lock in your own cost of power, regardless of which short-term incentives are active in a given month.

This applies to both panels and the Solar Roof

The 30 percent offer and both rebates apply whether you are going with Tesla Solar Panels for maximum savings or the Tesla Solar Roof for an all-in-one premium roof and power system. Ask Mike which fits your home and goals.
