Utah Solar Incentives & Tax Credits
Every solar incentive available to Utah homeowners in 2026.
Federal Tax Credit — Expired for Purchases
The 30% federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) expired on December 31, 2025. Homeowners who buy a system with cash or a loan in 2026 can no longer claim it — a $21,991 system that once carried a $6,597 credit now has none.
- ✅ Solar leases and PPAs can still capture a federal credit through 2027 — the installer claims it and lowers your monthly payment
- ✅ State incentives and net metering below still apply to purchased systems
- ✕ No federal credit for cash or financed purchases placed in service after Dec 31, 2025
Utah State Incentive
Utah's solar tax credit was fully phased out for systems installed after December 31, 2023. Homeowners still benefit from a property tax exemption.
While Utah does not offer a statewide solar tax credit, many utilities offer their own rebate programs. Check with your local utility for current offers.
Net Metering in Utah
Utah has Avoided Cost net metering. Your top utility, Rocky Mountain Power, credits you for excess solar power fed to the grid.
