Why Orem Residents and Businesses Are Going Solar
Utah Valley's energy landscape presents outstanding opportunities for solar adoption. With Rocky Mountain Power rates climbing sharply and Utah's abundant high-desert sunshine delivering exceptional solar production, homeowners and businesses across Utah County are discovering the financial and practical benefits of solar energy and battery storage systems.
💰
Rising Energy Costs
Rocky Mountain Power residential rates have surged from 10.96 cents per kWh to approximately 12.9 cents per kWh in 2025—an 18% increase in a single year—with further rate hikes expected as the utility faces escalating fuel costs, wildfire insurance, and transmission infrastructure investments. Solar systems lock in your energy costs for 25+ years, providing predictable savings that compound as Rocky Mountain Power rates continue climbing. Orem businesses face commercial rates of 9–11 cents per kWh plus significant demand charges that solar can effectively offset during peak production hours.
⛰️
Mountain Weather & Grid Reliability
Utah County experiences intense summer thunderstorms, Wasatch Front windstorms, heavy winter snow events, and occasional ice storms that disrupt power across the valley. Battery storage systems provide essential backup for home comfort, sump pumps, medical equipment, and business continuity. Orem-area homes experience periodic power outages during winter blizzards, summer monsoons, and high-wind events along the Wasatch Front. Battery systems bridge these gaps seamlessly while mountain weather systems move through the valley.
☀️
Exceptional Solar Resources
Orem receives approximately 5.2 peak sun hours daily and over 240 sunny days annually—ranking Utah among the top ten solar states nationwide. The high-desert climate at 4,700 feet elevation provides intense solar irradiance, while cooler mountain-influenced temperatures prevent the severe efficiency losses seen in low-elevation desert climates. Well-designed systems generate 1,300–1,550 kWh annually per installed kW, delivering exceptional return on investment for Utah Valley installations year-round.
📋
Available Incentives & Programs
Utah exempts solar equipment from sales tax, providing immediate upfront savings on system purchases. Property tax exemptions ensure your solar investment doesn't increase property assessments. Rocky Mountain Power's net billing program credits excess solar production, helping offset consumption during lower-production months. Commercial installations qualify for the 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) and accelerated MACRS depreciation—recovering significant costs within six years when construction begins before July 2026.

Orem receives approximately 5.2 peak sun hours daily and over 240 sunny days annually—making Utah one of the top ten solar states in the nation. Utah Valley's high-desert climate at 4,700 feet elevation provides intense solar irradiance year-round, and the Wasatch Mountains' influence on temperature keeps panels operating efficiently even during summer months when lower-elevation desert locations suffer significant heat-related performance losses.
Orem Solar Performance Factors:
Annual production: Well-designed systems generate 1,300–1,550 kWh per installed kW—significantly higher than national averages
Seasonal variation: Strong year-round production with summer peak from May–September; even winter months produce meaningful output thanks to clear, dry conditions and snow reflection boosting irradiance
Altitude advantage: High elevation means thinner atmosphere and more intense solar radiation—panels at 4,700 feet receive approximately 5–8% more irradiance than at sea level
Temperature advantage: Cool mountain-influenced temperatures improve panel efficiency 5–10% compared to hot low-elevation desert climates
Snow shedding: Panels installed at optimal 30–35 degree tilt for Utah's latitude naturally shed snow quickly; snow reflection (albedo effect) can actually boost production on clear winter days
Net billing benefit: Excess summer production credited against winter consumption through Rocky Mountain Power's billing program
Real Orem System Performance:
A typical 8kW residential system in Orem produces approximately 10,800–12,000 kWh annually—enough to offset 80–95% of average household consumption. Commercial systems show similar or better performance ratios with properly engineered tilt angles and south-facing orientations. Utah's combination of abundant sunshine, high altitude, and moderate temperatures makes solar among the most productive investments in the Intermountain West, with payback periods consistently shorter than the national average.
