Grab Instant Rebates Statewide for Powerwall Before Deadline – Final Hours to Save

Introduction

Do power bills across Utah keep going up? Rocky Mountain Power just started a 4.48% rate hike in December 2025, adding $4.31 a month to average homes. What if a blackout hits? Solar can help, but today is the last day.

Pain Points Analysis

Utah's solar market is tough right now. We checked fresh data from December 2025, like Rocky Mountain Power's latest hikes and solar trends. Families statewide, from Utah County to Salt Lake, face these pains. Here are six key ones, in simple terms.

  1. Rate Hikes Add to Bills: Rocky Mountain Power started a 4.48% rate increase in December 2025 for a fire fund, adding $4.31 a month to single-family bills. This follows an 18.1% hike earlier in 2025, reduced from a proposed 30.5%. Rates jumped from 10.96 cents per kWh to 12.94 cents on Dec 1, 2025. Time-of-use on-peak rates hit 32 cents per kWh in summer, making bills hundreds higher a year for Utah homes.

  2. ITC Ends Today: The 30% solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) stops on Dec 31, 2025. Utah's state renewable credits ended early from HB 264. Data shows U.S. residential solar installs fell 31% in 2024, continuing with a 4% drop in Q3 2025 and an expected 18% fall in 2026. People worry about missing big savings if projects don't finish today.

  3. High Costs Up Front: Solar systems cost $2.67 per watt in Utah as of December 2025. A typical 11.81 kW setup hits $31,500 before help. Batteries average $1,057 per kWh, so a 13 kWh system costs about $13,741. Other firms charge $24,000 to $26,000 for Tesla Powerwall 3 installs, per recent quotes.

  4. Long Wait Times: Tesla Powerwall waits are 9-10 weeks in Utah, with full installs taking 2-6 months due to high demand and backorders. Some reports show waits up to 7 months or even 16 months in similar areas. The end-of-year rush adds 4-6 weeks, making it impossible for many to meet today's deadline.

  5. Tax Filing Is Messy: Claiming ITC means waiting months for money back. It's confusing, and mistakes mean no cash. Utah folks say this stops them from going solar.

  6. Market Drops Loom: Utah gets 15% power from solar, but policies favor fossil fuels. Residential installs dropped in 2025, and companies like SunPower are struggling, potentially raising prices or closing after ITC ends. Competitor pricing for batteries ranges from $7,000 to $30,000+, per 2025 reports.

These pains make solar feel risky. But we have a fix.

Solution Section

Good news! Ask Solar Mike solves these pains with our Instant Tax Rebate Program. We take all the risk.

The residential solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) expires on 12/31/2025. To give customers a huge edge, Ask Solar Mike now offers an exclusive "Instant Tax Rebate Program": We provide upfront instant rebates equal to the 30% federal tax credit, deducted straight from the purchase price. This means zero risk for customers—no waiting to file taxes or worry about finishing before the deadline. Ask Solar Mike takes all the risk to make solar and batteries affordable now.

For example, while other Utah solar companies charge $24,000–$26,000 for a Tesla Powerwall 3 install, Ask Solar Mike does it for just $12,000. If your utility is Rocky Mountain Power (common in Utah), we add a $2,000 Wattsmart rebate, dropping it to $10,000—cheaper than buying just the Powerwall 3 from Tesla alone.

Unlike other solar companies that will likely raise prices dramatically after the ITC ends (potentially going out of business in 2026 due to lost revenue), Ask Solar Mike is structured to be immune: Our Instant Rebate Program absorbs the risk upfront, allowing us to keep prices low and stable long-term without relying on the expiring credit.

As Tesla partners, we offer top quality. This cuts costs, beats waits, and skips tax mess.
