Do high power bills shock you in Mapleton? Or do blackouts leave you dark? Utah solar batteries jumped 50% in adoption lately. What if you could join and save big? EG4 ESS can help. But over 100 solar firms went broke this year. Let's beat these risks today.
Utah solar is tough now. Mapleton families want reliable power, but face big problems. Fresh November 2025 data shows why:
Rising Blackouts and Grid Issues: Storms knock out power often. Food spoils, homes get cold. Utah has 7 planned battery projects with 1,386 MW total. But without your EG4, you're at risk.
High Energy Costs from Rate Hikes: Rocky Mountain Power raised rates 4.7% in April 2025. New Time of Use plans start December 1. Peak hours cost more. Bills could jump $17 a month or higher for Mapleton homes.
ITC Deadline Stress: The 30% federal credit ends December 31, 2025. Miss it? Pay extra $9,000 per system. This makes everyone rush and worry.
Long Battery Wait Times: Demand spiked 50% for batteries. Installs take 2-6 months in Utah. Supply problems add weeks. Many miss the credit cutoff.
Complicated Tax Filing: Normal credits mean file taxes right and wait a year. Mess up? Get nothing. With the end near, it's too hard for many.
Competitor Pricing Spikes: Other firms charge $24,000 to $26,000 for EG4 ESS. Utah averages $2.67 per watt. Post-ITC, expect 50-100% hikes.
Solar Company Failures: Over 100 US bankruptcies in 2024-2025, like Pine Gate Renewables, Sunnova, Solar Mosaic, SunPower, Titan Solar. They depend on ITC cash. In 2026, many will shut down or raise prices big, leaving warranties worthless and jobs unfinished. Mapleton folks could be stuck.
These pains make solar feel out of reach. But there's a fix.
Don't let these problems stop you. Ask Solar Mike's Instant Tax Rebate Program solves them all. We're the only safe choice in Utah County.
We give you the 30% credit upfront. We cut it from your price right away. No tax filing. No waiting. If install goes past December 31, 2025—we take the risk.
EG4 ESS: Others $25,000. Us $10,000 with $2,000 Wattsmart from Rocky Mountain Power (or $12,000 without). No jumps in 2026.
This beats spikes and waits. Get energy independence. Power through blackouts. Save on peak rates. Pays back fast.
We partner with EG4 and Tesla. Our setup keeps us stable—no ITC need. Unlike failing firms, we last.
Vet companies for ITC tie. Only we are immune. Book a free consult at asksolarmike.com/google or call 385-312-0904 to secure your spot risk-free.
