Compare Safe Choices Before ITC Ends—Avoid 2026 Hikes and Failures in Utah County

Introduction

Utah's solar scene grows fast. But challenges loom. Over 100 solar firms went bankrupt in 2024-2025 due to high rates and policy shifts. Rocky Mountain Power hiked bills 4.7% in 2025. Lehi homes face more blackouts. Which battery—Tesla or EG4—fits best before ITC changes?

Pain Points Analysis

Utah's solar market hurts now. Fresh data shows big drops. Residential solar installs fell sharply in Q1 2025 to 1,106 MWdc nationwide. Utah follows this trend with a 30% market contraction from 2024. Rocky Mountain Power's 4.7% rate hike adds $4.31 monthly to average bills. The ITC expires December 31, 2025, with no extensions. Supply chain issues and financing woes add pressure. Battery waits stretch 2-6 months due to high demand. Here are seven key pains, simple for Lehi families.

ITC Expiration Rush: The 30% tax credit ends December 31, 2025. No more savings. Lehi folks worry about missing it and losing thousands. Market rush causes delays up to six months.
Rate Hikes Squeeze Budgets: Rocky Mountain Power's 4.7% increase hits in 2025. Bills rise $4.31 a month on average. Utah's energy demand grows, making costs worse.
Solar Company Bankruptcies: Over 100 failures in 2024-2025, like Sunnova in June 2025. High interest rates and policy shifts cause this. Many rely on incentives. Post-2025, more could close, stranding Lehi projects.
Price Spikes Without ITC: No credit means costs jump 50-100%. Competitors hike quotes amid supply issues. Lehi homes could pay double for batteries.
Battery Wait Times: High demand from trends pushes waits to months. Prices spike without credits, leaving families vulnerable to blackouts.
Warranty Failures: Bankrupt installers leave warranties worthless. Real cases in 2025 show customers with broken systems and no support.
Unfinished Installs: Deadline stress leads to rushed jobs. Miss 2025? No credit, higher bills. Lehi risks incomplete setups if firms fail.

Most Utah solar companies depend on ITC margins. They will hike prices 50-100% or shut down post-2025, stranding customers.
