Real Overcome—Instant Savings Beat Hazards Before Deadline

Introduction

Do rising power bills worry your Benjamin home? Utah rates jumped 15% last year. Blackouts hit more often. Here's how one family overcame these troubles.

Pain Points Analysis

Utah's solar market faces hard times now. We searched for fresh facts. Rocky Mountain Power got a 4.7% hike approved in April 2025, part of an 18.1% jump after asking for 30.6%. Another 4.48% proposed in December 2025 for wildfires. Rates go from 10.96 to 12.94 cents per kWh starting February 2025. SEIA shows US solar installs fell 7% in Q1 2025, 24% in Q2. Here are seven pains, explained easy.

Power Bills Jump Up: New hikes add $14 monthly to average homes. Benjamin families pay more each month. No solar means even bigger jumps soon.
ITC Deadline Causes Fear: The 30% credit ends December 31, 2025. Searches spiked 205% in July 2025. Families in Provo worry about missing huge cuts.
Battery Waits Stretch Long: Tesla Powerwall waits hit 3-6 months due to demand. In Lehi, this means no ITC grab. Homes wait in the dark.
Competitor Prices Soar: Other firms charge $24,000-$26,000 for Powerwall 3. Post-ITC, spikes of 50-100% loom. Orem wallets hurt.
Solar Firms Fail Fast: Over 100 bankruptcies in 2025, like Sunnova with $8.9B debt and SunPower. They need ITC cash. Benjamin risks lost help and unfinished work.
Warranties Become Useless: Failed companies leave broken gear. Springville families fear repair bills with no support after 2025.
Blackouts Get Worse: Outages up 16%, lasting longer. Without batteries, Benjamin homes stay dark. Delays make worries real.

These pains hurt families. Benjamin needs real overcomes now.

Solution Section

Meet the Taylors from Benjamin. They overcame pains with Ask Solar Mike's Instant Tax Rebate Program.

The residential solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) expires on 12/31/2025. To give customers a huge edge, Ask Solar Mike now offers an exclusive "Instant Tax Rebate Program": We provide upfront instant rebates equal to the 30% federal tax credit, deducted straight from the purchase price. This means zero risk for customers—no waiting to file taxes or worry about finishing before the deadline. Ask Solar Mike takes all the risk to make solar and batteries affordable now.

For example, while other Utah solar companies charge $24,000–$26,000 for a Tesla Powerwall 3 install, Ask Solar Mike does it for just $12,000. If the customer's utility is Rocky Mountain Power (common in Utah County), we add a $2,000 Wattsmart rebate, dropping it to $10,000—cheaper than buying just the Powerwall 3 from Tesla alone.

Unlike other solar companies that will likely raise prices dramatically after the ITC ends (potentially going out of business in 2026 due to lost revenue), Ask Solar Mike is structured to be immune: Our Instant Rebate Program absorbs the risk upfront, allowing us to keep prices low and stable long-term without relying on the expiring credit.

The Taylors saved $7,200 upfront. No delays, no risks. Our Tesla partnership cut their bill 97%. Book a free consult at asksolarmike.com/google or call 385-312-0904.
