Smart Vetting to Pick Safe Pros—Beat ITC End and Hikes Without Getting Burned
Introduction
Utah solar shoppers beware. Over 100 solar firms went bankrupt in 2024-2025. Rocky Mountain Power's 4.7% rate hike starts February 2025, adding up to $14.28 monthly. Homes face more blackouts. How do you vet installers in Lake Shore to avoid risks?
Pain Points Analysis
Utah's solar market faces big trouble. Fresh data from SEIA shows US solar installs fell 7% year-over-year to 10.8 GWdc in Q1 2025. Q2 2025 was down 24% from Q2 2024. Utah sees a 30% market contraction due to high interest rates. Homeowner interest spiked 205% in July 2025 from ITC fears, per EnergySage. The ITC expires December 31, 2025, with no extensions—this could cut clean energy 57-72% over a decade and lead to a last-minute rush before potential repeal. Utah's RESTC ends for new systems too. Rocky Mountain Power approved a 4.7% residential rate hike effective February 2025, down from a proposed 30.6% (settled at 18.1% overall), adding $14.28 monthly for average single-family homes. Rates rose from 10.96 to 12.94 cents per kWh. Over 100 solar bankruptcies in 2024-2025, like Sunnova's Chapter 11 in June 2025 with $8.9 billion debt, SunPower's collapse, and Solar Mosaic halting loans. Batteries are key for solar in 2025, but waits hit 2-6 months from rush. Competitor prices spike without incentives, averaging $17k for Powerwall installs. Here are seven pains, simple for Lake Shore families.
ITC Deadline Stress: The 30% federal credit ends December 31, 2025. No more. Lake Shore families worry about 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 for average homes starting February 2025. Rates jumped from 10.96 to 12.94 cents per kWh. 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 depend on incentives. Post-2025, more could close, leaving projects unfinished.
Price Spikes After ITC: No credit means costs rise 50-100%. Competitors charge $17k average for Powerwall installs. Lake Shore homes could face higher prices amid market slowdown.
Battery Wait Times: Waits stretch 2-6 months due to high demand and rush before ITC end. Prices average $17k installed. Without ITC, spikes leave families open to blackouts.
Warranty Losses: Bankrupt installers like Solar Mosaic mean worthless warranties. Real 2025 cases show customers stuck with broken systems and no support.
Unfinished Installs: Deadline rush leads to errors. Miss 2025? No credit, higher bills. Lake Shore 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.
