Pick the Best Battery for Alpine Homes Before ITC Ends—Avoid Price Spikes and Failures

Introduction

Utah power costs are up. Rocky Mountain Power raised rates 4.7% in April 2025. Homes face more blackouts. Recent solar firm bankruptcies nationwide show risks after incentives change. Which battery wins for your Alpine home—Powerwall or EG4?

Pain Points Analysis

Utah's solar market hurts right now. Fresh data from Rocky Mountain Power and solar trends show big issues. Over 100 U.S. solar firms went bankrupt in 2025 alone, like Sunnova and SunPower. Here are seven key pains for Alpine and Utah County families.

  • ITC Deadline Crunch: The 30% solar tax credit ends December 31, 2025. No more help. Alpine folks worry about missing it and losing savings. Rush causes long waits for installs.

  • Rate Hikes Hit Hard: Rocky Mountain Power cut their ask from 30.6% to 18.1%, but still got a 4.7% okay in 2025. Bills jump $13.87 a month first, then $10.27 more. Electricity went from about 11 cents to over 13 cents per kWh.

  • Solar Company Closures: Firms like Sunnova filed bankruptcy in June 2025. SunPower did too. Many rely on incentives. Post-2025, more could shut down, leaving Utah projects unfinished.

  • Battery Price Surges: Without ITC, costs could double. Competitors charge $24k-$26k for Powerwall installs now. EG4 options spike too. Alpine Dominion Energy users (note: electricity via Rocky Mountain Power) pay more soon.

  • Rebate Losses: Wattsmart rebates from Rocky Mountain Power may change or end with ITC. Families risk paying full price for batteries, no $2,000 drop.

  • Warranty Worries: Bankrupt installers mean dead warranties. Real cases like Sunlight Financial in 2023 left customers with broken gear and no help.

  • Install Delays: High demand pushes wait times. Miss 2025? No credit, higher rates. Alpine homes could get stuck with partial setups if firms fail.

Most Utah solar companies need ITC cash. They may raise prices 50-100% or close after 2025, stranding you.
