Do power outages hit you hard in Palmyra? Or are your Rocky Mountain Power bills too big? Utah saw a 4.7% rate hike this year. What if you could cut costs and stay lit? Tesla Powerwall can help. But over 100 solar companies went bankrupt lately. Let's fix this now.
Utah solar is tough right now. Palmyra families want clean power, but face big risks. Fresh November 2025 data shows why:
Rising Blackouts and Grid Fails: Storms knock out power often. Food goes bad, homes get dark. Utah has 3,645 MW of solar installed, but grids still fail. Without a Powerwall, you're stuck.
High Bills from Rate Hikes: Rocky Mountain Power raised rates 4.7% in April 2025. That's part of an 18.1% total hike. Average homes pay $14.28 more a month. New Time of Use plans start December 1, charging extra in peak hours.
ITC Deadline Worry: The 30% federal credit ends December 31, 2025. Miss it? Pay $9,000 more per system. This stresses everyone rushing to install.
Long Waits for Batteries: Demand is high. US solar installs fell in 2025 due to costs, but Utah ranks 16th with 3,645 MW. Wait times are 2-6 months. Supply issues add weeks—many lose the credit.
Tax Filing Mess: Normal way means file taxes perfect and wait a year. One mistake? Zero cash back. With the end near, it's too hard.
Competitor Price Spikes: Others charge $24,000 to $26,000 for Powerwall. Utah averages $19,454 for systems. Post-ITC, expect 50-100% jumps from higher costs.
Solar Firm Failures: Over 100 US bankruptcies in 2024-2025, like SunPower and Sunnova. Firms rely on ITC margins. In 2026, many will close or hike prices, leaving warranties worthless and jobs undone. Palmyra folks could be stranded, like in other states after incentives ended.
These pains make solar scary. But we have a way out.
