Go solar or add a home backup battery without the high upfront cost. With IWS’s prepaid lease, you pay your portion once and we hand you the commercial-tax-credit savings as an instant discount — for your home or business.
We provide professional solar installation services across the following states:
Ready to go solar in Utah, Idaho, or Wyoming — but frustrated by the disappearing federal tax credits? You’re not alone. Most homeowners in Salt Lake City, Boise, and Evanston who looked into solar power in Utah the past few years ran into the same wall: file paperwork, wait until tax season, and hope you had enough tax liability to claim the full benefit. Many didn’t.
With Intermountain Wind & Solar’s new solar prepaid lease, that problem is gone. You pay your portion of the system upfront, we apply an instant 15–20% discount off the sticker price, and you never see a solar bill again. No IRS forms. No price escalators. No monthly payments — ever.
Here’s why it works: a third-party partner technically owns your system. Because large companies qualify for commercial tax credits that individuals don’t, they claim the credit — then pass a significant portion of those savings back to you as an upfront discount. You get the benefit without the hassle.
This model works for both leasing solar panels for your home and for commercial solar power systems. Whether you’re a homeowner in Salt Lake City or a business owner in Boise, the IWS prepaid lease is built for you.
A solar prepaid lease is a financing model where you pay for your portion of the system upfront and receive an instant 15–20% discount. A third-party partner owns the system, handles all monitoring and maintenance, and you enjoy $0 monthly solar payments for the life of the agreement.
Four reasons homeowners and businesses across the Intermountain West are switching to leased solar panels.
Start saving from day one. Bypass the need for tax liability — we pass commercial-tax-credit savings directly to you as an upfront discount on the sticker price. No accountant. No April scramble.
Because a third-party partner owns the system, they have every incentive to keep it running. 24/7 professional monitoring and full maintenance coverage are included — at no extra cost.
With no monthly payments, the new buyer simply inherits the free solar power. No qualification process, no payment transfer — it’s a paid-off asset that adds real value across UT, ID, and WY.
Customized prepaid lease options for both residential and commercial solar power systems. Rooftop panels for your home, or large-scale installs for your building — we design around your goals.

The Bottom Line: With the IWS prepaid lease, you get the savings of a tax credit instantly — without a monthly solar bill that grows every year. It’s the most straightforward way to protect your home from rising utility rates across Salt Lake City and the Intermountain West.
With a monthly lease or PPA, you pay an ongoing monthly bill for your solar power — often with a price escalator of 2–3% per year — and the solar company keeps the entire tax credit. With the IWS prepaid lease, you pay once upfront (at a 15–20% discount), receive $0 monthly bills for the life of the agreement, and the savings come back to you at the start — not to the installer.
