Cedar Hills Story: Wattsmart Risks 2026 Case
Ask Solar Mike
From Uncertainty to Power Security—Real Win with Rebates Against ITC End and Hikes
Introduction
Utah power costs are up. Rocky Mountain Power raised rates 4.7% in April 2025. This adds $14.28 a month to average bills. Homes face more blackouts. Solar firms like Sunnova filed bankruptcy in June 2025. One Cedar Hills family won with Wattsmart rebates. How did they beat the odds?
Pain Points Analysis
Utah's solar market hurts now. Fresh data shows big drops. US solar installs fell 7% year-over-year to 10.8 GWdc in Q1 2025. Utah ranks 13th for solar but faces long payback periods—up 43% without ITC. The ITC ends December 31, 2025, with no extensions—this will make solar pricier. Rocky Mountain Power approved a 4.7% residential rate hike in April 2025, down from an 18.1% ask, adding $14.28 monthly to average homes. They first wanted 30.6%, settled at 18.1% overall. Rates rose from about 11 cents to over 13 cents per kWh. Over 100 solar bankruptcies in 2024-2025, like Sunnova in June 2025 with $8.9 billion debt, Solar Mosaic in 2025 halting loans, and SunPower in 2024. Tesla Powerwall waits hit 2-3 months in some areas, with broader supply in 2025 but ongoing shortages. Competitor Powerwall pricing averages $16,800 installed in Utah, while alternatives like EP Cube are around $12,000 but less integrated. Here are seven pains, simple for Cedar Hills families.
ITC End Rush: The 30% federal credit stops December 31, 2025. No more. Cedar Hills families fear missing it and losing thousands. A 205% interest spike causes install delays up to six months.
Rate Hikes Add Bills: Rocky Mountain Power's 4.7% increase adds $14.28 monthly. Rates jumped from about 11 cents to over 13 cents per kWh in April 2025. Utah's demand grows, making costs worse.
Solar Firm Bankruptcies: Over 100 failures, like Sunnova in June 2025 with $8.9 billion debt. High debt and rates cause this. Many rely on incentives. Post-2025, more could close, leaving projects unfinished.
Price Spikes After ITC: No credit means costs rise 50-100%. Competitors charge $16k-$26k for Powerwall installs. Cedar Hills homes could pay 43% more in payback periods without ITC.
Battery Wait Times: Waits stretch 2-3 months for Powerwall due to demand. Prices average $17k installed. Without ITC, spikes leave families open to blackouts.
Warranty Losses: Bankrupt installers like Solar Mosaic mean worthless warranties. Real cases in 2025 show customers stuck with broken systems and no support.
Unfinished Installs: Deadline rush leads to errors. Miss 2025? No credit, higher bills. Cedar Hills risks half-done jobs if firms fail.
Most Utah solar companies depend on ITC margins. They will hike prices 50-100% or shut down post-2025, stranding customers.
