Anatomy of Solar Energy Compromise in the West.

Utah legislators reached a compromise on SB141 for rooftop solar.

What’s in the compromise?

  • Purchasers of rooftop solar systems between Jan. 1, 2007, and Dec. 31, 2017, will receive the $2,000 state tax credit
  • tax credit decreases to $1,600 for systems purchased after Jan. 1, 2018, and on or before December 2020
  • By 2023 the tax credit is reduced to $400
  • The net metering compromise preserves status quo rates for thousands of rooftop solar customers in the state for their solar production through 2035
