Lock In Safe Powerwall Solutions Now—Before ITC Ends and Prices Double

Introduction

Utah's solar market is changing fast. But not all for the good. 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. Orem homes face more blackouts. What risks come after ITC ends?

Pain Points Analysis

Utah's solar market faces tough times. Fresh data shows big drops. Residential solar installs fell to 1,106 MWdc nationwide in Q1 2025, down sharply from 2024. Utah sees a 30% market drop. The ITC expires December 31, 2025, which could cut clean energy by 57-72% over a decade. Rocky Mountain Power's 4.7% rate hike adds $4.31 monthly to average bills, after a requested 30% scaled to 18%. Battery waits are 2-6 months due to demand. Firms like Sunnova filed Chapter 11 in June 2025 with $8.9 billion debt. SunPower and others followed in 2024-2025 from high interest and policy changes. Here are seven pains, simple for Orem families.

ITC Deadline Pressure: The 30% tax credit ends December 31, 2025. No extensions. Orem families worry about missing it and losing thousands. High demand causes delays up to six months.
Rate Hikes Add Costs: Rocky Mountain Power's 4.7% increase hits in 2025. Bills rise $4.31 a month on average. Utah's energy needs grow, making this sting more.
Solar Firm Bankruptcies: Over 100 failures in 2024-2025, like Sunnova in June 2025. High debt and rate shifts cause this. Many need incentives. Post-2025, more could shut, leaving Orem projects unfinished.
Price Spikes After ITC: No credit means costs jump 50-100%. Competitors hike quotes. Orem homes could pay double for systems, especially batteries.
Battery Waits and High Prices: Waits hit 2-6 months amid trends. Installed Powerwall costs $11k-$30k, average $17k. Without ITC, spikes leave families open to blackouts.
Warranty Losses: Bankrupt installers like SunPower mean worthless warranties. Real cases in 2025 show stuck customers with broken gear.
Incomplete Jobs: Deadline rush leads to errors. Miss 2025? No credit, higher bills. Orem risks half-done installs if firms fail.

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