Ignite Santaquin Savings with Ask Solar Mike's Instant Program – Affordable Storage Defense Against Post-ITC Spikes and Escalating Grid Costs

Did you know Rocky Mountain Power's new 4.48% rate hike started Jan 1, 2026, adding $4 to $14 monthly for average homes? What if solar defended your bills?

Pain Points in the Utah Solar Market

Utah's solar market sparks concerns in 2026. We checked fresh data. Here are seven key pains for Santaquin families.

  • New Rate Hikes Ignite Bills: Rocky Mountain Power's 4.48% increase effective Jan 1, 2026 funds wildfire risks, adding $4.31 to $14.28 monthly for single-family homes. This follows a 2025 jump to 12.94 cents per kWh from 10.96 cents. Santaquin folks worry about spiking costs for daily power use.

  • Solar Prices Spike Post-ITC: The residential ITC expired Dec 31, 2025, leading to 50-100% higher costs without the 30% credit. Average systems now hit $31,552 for 11.81 kW at $2.74-3.02 per watt. Payback times extend 43% longer. Families feel solar is unaffordable amid these surges.

  • Extended Battery Waits Spark Delays: High demand pushes Tesla Powerwall waits to 9-10 weeks in Utah, with full installs taking 2-6 months due to backorders and permits. In Santaquin, this delays critical storage for outages, leaving homes vulnerable.

  • Inflated Competitor Pricing Fuels Costs: Rivals charge $2.74-3.02 per watt for panels, with Powerwall installs at $11,500-$17,000. Full systems range $11,655 to $25,200 post-incentives, but higher now without ITC. Folks pay premiums elsewhere, unlike value deals.

  • Market Growth Drops Amid Changes: Utah has 3,110 MW solar but ranks 13th; installs may drop 18-30% in 2026 post-ITC. New taxes on solar effective 2026 stall projects, reducing options and driving up prices for all.

  • More Frequent Blackouts Add Pressure: Weather and grid strain from data centers increase outages, some lasting 48 hours or more. Without batteries, Santaquin homes face dark periods and higher peak fees during high-use times.

  • Affordability Fears Flare Up: Losing the ITC spikes upfront expenses 50-100%. Families worry about higher costs without credits, delaying battery upgrades and sticking with escalating utility bills.

These pains ignite fears. But we spark solutions.
