Don't Lose Your Solar Dream—Pick a Company Built to Last Beyond 2025

Introduction

Did you know Rocky Mountain Power rates in Utah rose a net 15% from last summer? Many Highland families pay more for power. Blackouts happen more too. Plus, solar firms like Sunnova and SunPower filed bankruptcy in 2025. What if your solar team shuts down in 2026?

Pain Points Analysis

The solar market in Utah is hard now, especially for Highland homes. People face big problems. We checked new facts with web searches. Here are seven key pains. We explain them simply.

  • High Power Bills from Rate Hikes: Rocky Mountain Power got a 4.7% hike approved in May 2025. But with past changes, it's a net 15% jump from last summer. They first asked for 30%, then cut to 18.1%. Highland families see bills up $4-5 a month for average homes.

  • Confusion and Stress Over ITC Deadline: The 30% federal tax credit ends December 31, 2025. Many worry about missing it. Data shows solar payback times will grow 43% longer without it. Highland folks rush but fear they won't finish on time.

  • Long Wait Times for Installs and Batteries: Tesla Powerwall waits hit 3-6 months in 2025 due to backorders and high demand. Some wait 2-3 months via installers, but delays add weeks. In Highland, this means you might miss the ITC cutoff. Families wait while blackouts happen.

  • Rising Prices After ITC Ends: Prices may jump 50-100% in 2026 without the credit. Solar costs could rise by one-third. Other firms charge $24,000-$26,000 for a Tesla Powerwall 3 now. Post-ITC, it could double, hurting Highland budgets.

  • Risk of Solar Companies Going Out of Business: Firms like Sunnova, Mosaic, SunPower, Lumio, iSun, Titan Solar Power, Sunworks, Pink Energy, Solcius, and Vision Solar filed bankruptcy in 2025. High rates and policy shifts caused it. They rely on ITC money. If they close in 2026, Highland customers lose support and warranties. Projects might stay unfinished.

  • Wasted Savings and Worthless Warranties: If your company fails, your solar setup might break with no fix. Highland homeowners fear extra costs for repairs after 2025.

  • Blackouts and Energy Worries: Utah weather causes outages. Without good batteries, Highland homes go dark. Delays from other companies make this worse.

These pains hit hard. Highland families lose sleep over costs, risks, and missed savings.

Solution Section

Good news! Ask Solar Mike fixes all these pains. Our Instant Tax Rebate Program makes us the safe choice.

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.

We cut wait times to under 3 months. Our Tesla partnership means top quality. No more high bills—save up to 97% on power. We beat blackouts with strong setups.
