Tax credit
#01
Federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (Section 25D) - ENDED
The 30 percent federal Residential Clean Energy Credit under Section 25D expired for property placed in service after December 31, 2025. Cash and loan purchases made now receive no federal tax credit. Because the Utah residential credit had already phased out, there is nothing at state level to soften it.

#02
Federal Commercial ITC (Section 48E) - via Lease / PPA
Section 48E, the commercial Clean Electricity Investment Credit, survives at 30 percent and is available to third-party owners of residential systems under leases and power purchase agreements. The provider claims it and may reflect part of the value in the rate offered. Ask what they claim and what actually reaches you, and confirm with a tax advisor.

Utah Renewable Energy Systems Tax Credit - EXPIRED for residential solar
The Utah residential solar tax credit phased down and then ended. The maximum was $2,000 for installations before 2018, $1,600 for 2018 to 2020, $1,200 in 2021, $800 in 2022 and $400 in 2023. Residential solar photovoltaic systems installed from 2024 onward are not eligible. Guides still listing a Utah solar tax credit are describing a programme that no longer applies to new systems.

Rocky Mountain Power Schedule 137 Net Billing (no net metering)
Customers who applied for interconnection after October 30, 2020 are on net billing rather than net metering. Generation is netted against household consumption instantaneously, so electricity you use as it is produced displaces the full retail rate, while only the surplus exported to the grid earns the export credit rate. As of March 1, 2026 that credit was approximately 4.855 cents per kWh for summer exports (June to September) and 4.033 cents per kWh in winter (October to May), against a Utah residential retail rate around 12 to 13 cents. Confirm the current figures with Rocky Mountain Power, since they change each March.

Annual Export Credit Recalculation - no lock-in
The Schedule 137 export credit rate is recalculated every year and takes effect each March 1, and the new rate applies to existing customers as well as to new ones. There is no rate fixed for the life of a system. Rates have declined over successive recalculations, from about 5.817 cents per kWh for summer exports in 2020 to 5.160 in 2022 and roughly 4.855 in 2026. A 25-year savings projection that holds the current export credit flat is therefore assuming something the tariff does not promise.

#06
Municipal Utilities Set Their Own Terms
Rocky Mountain Power supplies more than 80 percent of Utah electricity, but several cities run their own municipal utilities, including Provo City Power and Murray City Power. Those are not on Schedule 137 and set their own export compensation, system size limits and interconnection processes. Check the utility name on a recent bill before applying any Rocky Mountain Power figure to your address.
Net metering · Utah
Schedule 137 Net Billing, instantaneous, annually reset
Utah no longer offers net metering to new residential solar customers on Rocky Mountain Power. Anyone who applied for interconnection after October 30, 2020 is on Schedule 137 Net Billing Service. Net billing differs from net metering in a way that changes how a system should be designed: generation is netted against household consumption instantaneously rather than across a billing period, so electricity you are using at the moment it is generated displaces the full retail rate, while anything beyond your instantaneous demand is exported and earns the export credit rate instead. As of March 1, 2026 that credit was approximately 4.855 cents per kWh for summer exports, defined as June through September, and 4.033 cents per kWh for winter exports from October through May, against a Utah residential retail rate around 12 to 13 cents. So an exported kilowatt hour is worth roughly a third of a self-consumed one. The second feature matters as much as the first. The export credit is recalculated annually and takes effect each March 1, and the revised rate applies to existing customers as well as new ones. Customers do not lock in a rate at installation, and the figure has fallen across successive recalculations. Utah municipal utilities such as Provo City Power and Murray City Power are outside Schedule 137 and set their own terms.
Worth checking before you sign:
taking a rebate can change your net-metering terms, and export credit rules
differ by utility. Your matched installer confirms the exact numbers for
