Utah Solar REAP Grant

Solar Incentives in Utah

The Utah state government offers the Renewable Energy Systems Tax Credit to commercial businesses that install solar systems. Businesses that install solar systems smaller than 2 megawatts can receive tax credits on 10% or up to $50,000 of their installed system.

Rocky Mountain Power commercial customers who install solar panels with an energy storage system can take advantage of the Wattsmart Battery Program. Approved customers can receive an upfront rebate of $400 per kilowatt of battery capacity (covering up to 70% of the equipment costs), as well as an annual electric bill credit of $15 per kilowatt after the first year.

Many Utah utility companies also participate in net metering programs. Commercial customers with solar systems will receive energy credits on their next electricity bill for any excess energy their solar system produces in the current month. This program allows businesses to save on their utility bills while redistributing the excess energy back to the grid for community use.
