Solar Companies in Utah

Utah's high desert climate and clear skies deliver excellent solar resources with about 5.5 peak sun hours daily, ranking the Beehive State among the top solar irradiance states in the country. Utah has seen rapid residential solar growth driven by strong sunshine and state-level incentives.

Utah offers a state solar tax credit of 25% of system costs up to $1,600 for residential installations. Rocky Mountain Power, the state's dominant utility, transitioned from full retail net metering to a net billing program, where export credits are set below retail rates. Utah exempts solar equipment from sales tax, reducing upfront costs.

Salt Lake City, Provo, and St. George are the leading residential solar markets. With the state and federal tax credits, abundant sunshine, and low installation costs, Utah homeowners typically achieve payback periods of 8-11 years despite relatively low electricity rates.
