Fortify West Mountain Homes with Ask Solar Mike's Instant Savings – Resilient Defense Against Post-ITC Hikes and Market Instability

Did you know Rocky Mountain Power plans rate hikes up to 28% by mid-2026? This adds $4 to $24 to monthly bills. What if solar built your fortress?

Pain Points in the Utah Solar Market

Utah's solar market faces tough times in 2026. We checked fresh data. Here are seven key pains for West Mountain families.

  • Big Rate Hikes: Rocky Mountain Power got an 18.1% jump in 2025, cut from a proposed 30.5%. A new 4.48% hike starts Jan 1, 2026 for wildfire costs. Bills rise $4.31 to $14.28 a month for homes. West Mountain folks worry about extra pays for winter heat.

  • Solar Prices Jump Post-ITC: The 30% federal credit ended Jan 1, 2026. Systems now cost 50-100% more without it. Average Utah setups hit $31,552 for 11.81 kW. Payback times stretch 43% longer. Families feel clean power is too pricey now.

  • Long Battery Waits: Tesla Powerwall waits are 9-10 weeks in Utah. Full installs take 2-6 months with high demand and permits. In West Mountain, this leaves homes without quick backup for storms.

  • High Competitor Costs: Other firms charge $2.58-3.02 per watt for panels. Powerwall setups run $11,500-$17,000. Full systems? $11,025 to $24,255. Folks pay more elsewhere, hurting budgets.

  • Market Growth Slows: Utah solar installs drop 18-30% post-ITC. New rules and bottlenecks slow projects. With 3,110 MW total, fewer options push prices up for all.

  • More Blackouts and Peak Fees: Weather ups outage risks. Peak rates add extra charges. Without storage, West Mountain homes go dark and bills climb.

  • Affordability Fears Grow: No ITC means upfront costs soar. Families worry about higher prices without credits. Many skip solar and face rising utility fees.

These pains weaken homes. But we fortify them.
