Eagle Mountain FAQ
How much solar production can I expect in Eagle Mountain?
PVFig models Eagle Mountain at ~1502 kWh per kW installed per year, derived from Utah's NREL PVWatts v8 state value (1500 kWh/kW) adjusted for the city's latitude. This is a modeled estimate — a site-specific PVWatts run with your exact roof azimuth, tilt and shading will differ. Actual output also depends on panel quality and local weather.
What is the estimated solar payback in Eagle Mountain?
At a typical 2.75/W installed cost and 13.1¢/kWh electricity, a 6 kW system in Eagle Mountain has an estimated payback of about 14.3 years. That is a long payback — solar is hard to justify unless strong state incentives apply.
Does Utah have net metering and a solar tax credit in 2026?
Utah uses net billing (exports below retail) with exports around 10¢/kWh. There is no state income tax credit for residential solar in 2026. The federal residential credit (Section 25D) expired Dec 31, 2025 and does not apply to 2026 installations.
