Tax Credits for Solar Panel Installation

Installing solar panels is more affordable than many Intermountain West homeowners think. Making the switch to photovoltaic power is in anyone’s reach, thanks to the range of financing options available.

Instead of waiting for tax credits that are no longer available, homeowners can go solar and take advantage of an instant 15%–30% discount off the sticker price. This upfront savings makes your solar system more affordable from day one, lowers your monthly electricity bills immediately, and simplifies the path to clean energy.

• Minimize your photovoltaic costs
• Greatly reduce your income tax liability
• Reach the payback point much faster

Curious how much you can save with an instant sticker price discount?

For years, homeowners relied on the Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC) to reduce the cost of going solar. However, the residential federal tax credit officially ended in December 2025, and the traditional “buy and claim later” model no longer delivers the same value it once did for homeowners looking for solar systems in Utah.

At Intermountain Wind & Solar, we’ve introduced a smarter way to save on residential solar systems: an instant 15%–30% discount off the sticker price through our solar prepaid lease model. This new approach makes going solar in Utah and Idaho more affordable than ever, whether you’re installing rooftop solar panels, a home battery backup system, or a complete solar energy system for your home.

Instead of waiting months (or years) for a tax benefit, you receive your savings upfront from day one. Homeowners across Salt Lake City, Boise, and the Intermountain West can start lowering their electricity bills immediately with a predictable solar payment and long-term energy savings.

Many states and utilities still offer programs that help reduce the cost of going solar, even though the federal residential tax credit has ended. Depending on where you live, you may qualify for state solar incentives, local rebates, or utility bill credits that improve your long-term savings on residential solar systems. 

States in the Intermountain West region with solar savings opportunities include:

• Utah — While state tax credits have ended, homeowners installing solar panels in Utah can still benefit from utility net billing programs that credit your account for excess electricity your solar system produces. Combine that with our instant sticker price discount, and your solar system becomes even more affordable from day one.
  
  
• Idaho – Idaho still offers a solar tax deduction over multiple years, but with our prepaid lease, you don’t have to wait for deductions. Your solar energy system comes with an immediate 15%–30% discount, reducing the upfront cost and making savings visible instantly.
  
  
• Wyoming — The state of Wyoming has a solid net metering program. The exact rate paid varies by provider, but if you end up running an annual surplus, you can expect your utility company to purchase the excess at the end of the year. Then add our upfront discount, and your solar investment is more affordable than ever, from day one.

Instead of relying on complex tax forms or waiting months for credits, our prepaid solar lease model applies savings immediately. You pay less upfront, lock in lower monthly electricity costs, and enjoy professional solar system monitoring and maintenance, all included.
