Real Win—Instant Savings Conquer 2026 Perils

Introduction

Are blackouts hitting your Cedar Hills home hard? Power bills rose 15% last year. Many families struggle. Here's how one won big.

Pain Points Analysis

Utah's solar market faces tough times now. We searched for new facts. Rocky Mountain Power hiked rates 18.1% after asking for 30.6%, adding $14.28 monthly from February 2025. Another 4.48% proposed in December 2025. SEIA shows US solar installs fell 7% in Q1 2025, 24% in Q2. Here are seven pains, explained easy.

Power Bills Keep Climbing: Average homes pay $14 more monthly. Cedar Hills families feel the pinch. No solar means even bigger jumps soon.
ITC Deadline Stress Builds: The 30% credit ends December 31, 2025. Searches spiked 205% in July 2025. Families in Lehi worry about missing huge savings.
Battery Waits Drag On: Tesla Powerwall waits hit 3-6 months due to demand. In Provo, this means no ITC claim. Homes sit dark during delays.
Competitor Prices Soar High: Other firms charge $24,000-$26,000 for Powerwall 3. Post-ITC, expect 50-100% spikes. Orem budgets break.
Solar Firms Fail Fast: Over 100 bankruptcies in 2025, like Sunnova with $8.9B debt and SunPower. They need ITC cash. Cedar Hills risks lost support and unfinished jobs.
Warranties Turn Worthless: Failed companies leave broken systems. Springville families fear repair bills with no help after 2025.
Blackouts Worsen Daily: Outages up 16%, lasting longer. Without batteries, Cedar Hills homes stay dark. Delays make fears real.

These pains hurt families. Cedar Hills needs real fixes.

Solution Section

Meet the Smiths from Cedar Hills. They beat these 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 Smiths 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.
