Why switch to Solar in UT?
Save money while getting paid to share your excess power
As the 9th sunniest state in the nation, Utah is an ideal place for going solar. The state also offers tax credits and solar storage incentives that make it easy to save money while bringing clean, renewable energy to the state.
Up to 30% in federal tax credits
Depending on your situation, you may qualify for the The Solar Investment Tax Credit, which can reduce the cost of your system by up to 30%.
Up to $400 in state tax credits (available thru Dec 2023)
While it expires in December 2023, you can get up to $400 off your installation through the Renewable Energy Systems Tax Credit.
Upfront & ongoing incentives with solar batteries
Through the Rocky Mountain Power Wattsmart Battery Program, you can get paid to give RMP access to the energy stored within your solar battery.
Get bill credits for generating excess energy
While Utah doesn’t have a statewide net metering policy, many local utility companies will credit you for excess energy your system produces.
Get free energy once your system is paid off
After paying off your loan, any power you generate is free (average US payback time is 5-15 years, which means decades of free power!).
No upfront or out-of-pocket cost to switch
ION offers you some of the best financing options available in the solar industry. Our goal is to reduce your current monthly power bill while allowing you to pay off your power completely.

Solar panels are made of special cells (PV or photovoltaic cells) that absorb sunlight and produce an electrical current.
In order for your home to use that electrical current (known as DC or Direct Current), it must be converted into AC (or Alternating Current), which is done through micro inverters that are attached to each solar panel.
Once the energy has been converted, it runs through your electrical panel, gets distributed within your home, and can be used to power your appliances, lights, and more.
The following solar tax credits and incentives are available in Utah. To find out if you’re eligible, we recommend contacting our team for more information and speaking with a tax professional who can help.
The Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) is a federal tax credit for those who purchase solar energy systems for residential, commercial or utility scale properties. Through this legislation, all solar systems installed between 2022 and 2023 are eligible for a federal tax credit. If you qualify, you could reduce the cost of your system by up to 30% (Source: Energy.gov).
The residential Solar PV tax credit is phasing out, but will be available through 2023. In 2023, the maximum tax credit will be $400. For installations after December 31, 2023, there will not be a tax credit available for solar PV (Source: energy.utah.gov).
When solar customers generate more energy than they use in a month, the customer will be billed the appropriate monthly charges and credited for net metering energy with a cumulative kilowatt-hour (kWh) credit on their bill. The credit is applied to the next month’s bill.
The value of net metering credits is determined for residential customers by the current rates in schedules 1, 2, or 3. All unused credits expire in March of each year (Source: energysage.com).
