The Average Cost of a Hybrid Solar System in Utah
For a standard single-family home along the Wasatch Front requiring an 8kW system plus a Tier-1 battery (like a Tesla Powerwall), the gross cost typically ranges from $32,000 to $38,000. Let's break down the actual net cost after applying the heavy federal tax credit and the RMP Wattsmart rebate.
Metric | Estimated Value (8kW + Battery) |
|---|---|
Gross System Cost | $35,000 |
RMP Wattsmart Upfront Rebate (Estimated) | -$3,500 |
Federal Tax Credit (30% of remaining cost) | -$9,450 |
Estimated Net Cost | $22,050 |
*Note: This net cost covers both your solar array and a full home backup battery, providing immense value and blackout protection.
