Introduction

Did you know over 100 solar firms went bankrupt in 2024-2025? Many West Mountain families face rising power bills and more blackouts. Utah rates jumped 15% net last year. What if your solar installer vanishes in 2026?

Pain Points Analysis

The Utah solar market hurts right now, especially in West Mountain. Homeowners deal with big issues. We used web searches for fresh data. Here are seven pains, explained simply.

  • High Power Bills from Rate Hikes: Rocky Mountain Power got a 4.7% increase in April 2025, part of an 18.1% rise after a 30.6% request. Average bills up $14.28 monthly from February 2025. West Mountain families pay more. Bills could climb higher without solar.

  • Confusion and Stress Over ITC Deadline: The 30% tax credit ends December 31, 2025. Many stress about missing it. SEIA says US solar installs dropped 7% in Q1 2025 and 24% in Q2. Searches spiked 205% in July 2025. West Mountain folks worry projects won't finish.

  • Long Wait Times for Installs and Batteries: Tesla Powerwall waits hit 3-6 months in 2025 due to backorders. Some take 2-3 months, but delays add up. In West Mountain, this risks missing ITC. Families wait during blackouts.

  • Rising Prices After ITC Ends: Prices may spike 50-100% in 2026 without the credit. Solar costs could rise one-third. Other companies charge $24,000-$26,000 for Powerwall 3 now. Post-ITC, expect doubles, hitting West Mountain wallets.

  • Risk of Solar Companies Going Out of Business: Firms like Sunnova (June 2025, $8.9B debt), Solar Mosaic (Chapter 11), SunPower, Titan Solar Power, Sunworks, Pink Energy, Solcius, and Vision Solar went bankrupt in 2025. High rates and shifts caused it. They depend on ITC. In 2026, West Mountain customers could lose warranties and support. Projects might stop.

  • Wasted Savings and Worthless Warranties: If installers fail, solar systems break with no fixes. West Mountain homeowners fear extra repair costs after 2025.

  • Blackouts and Energy Worries: Utah outages rose 16% and last 33% longer. Without batteries, West Mountain homes stay dark. Delays worsen this.

These pains affect daily life. West Mountain families fear costs and lost savings.

Solution Section

Good news. Ask Solar Mike solves these pains with our Instant Tax Rebate Program. We are the safe choice.

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 the customer's utility is Rocky Mountain Power (common in Utah County), 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.

We shorten waits to under 3 months. Our Tesla tie-up ensures quality. Cut bills up to 97%. Beat blackouts with solid systems.
