Why South Jordan Families & Businesses Are Going Solar
Utah's combination of surging electricity rates, exceptional solar resources, high-altitude sunshine, and growing grid reliability concerns makes the Salt Lake Valley one of the most compelling solar markets in the Mountain West.
Rocky Mountain Power—Utah's largest utility serving over 80% of the state—filed for a 30.5% residential rate increase, the largest in its history. The two-phase hike pushed rates from 10.96¢/kWh to 12.89¢ in February 2025, then to 14.31¢/kWh by January 2026. Governor Spencer Cox called the proposal "completely unacceptable" and "laughable if it wasn't so dangerous." The utility cited wildfire insurance costs (PacifiCorp faces billions in Oregon wildfire claims), rising fuel prices, and transmission infrastructure investments. After decades of stable bills in the $800–$900 annual range, Utah households now face dramatically higher costs—and the rate trajectory isn't slowing. Solar locks in your energy costs for 25+ years, providing a hedge against a utility that's already signaled it needs more revenue to cover wildfire liability, infrastructure upgrades, and rising wholesale power costs.

Outstanding High-Altitude Solar Resources
Utah ranks in the top 10 states nationally for solar potential, and the Salt Lake Valley is a solar powerhouse. South Jordan receives 5.0–5.5 peak sun hours daily with 222 sunny days per year, and Utah's statewide average of 5.26 peak sun hours rivals the desert Southwest. At 4,500 feet elevation, solar panels in South Jordan receive more intense solar irradiance than low-elevation locations—the thinner atmosphere means less atmospheric filtering of sunlight. The dry mountain climate minimizes humidity-related efficiency losses and cloud interference. Utah's four-season climate does produce winter snow, but panels typically shed snow quickly due to their tilt angle and dark surface, and cold winter temperatures actually boost panel efficiency. Spring, summer, and fall deliver exceptional production that more than compensates for shorter winter days.
💨
Wind-Driven Power Outages Across the Wasatch Front
South Jordan is among the most outage-prone cities in Utah. The Salt Lake Valley's geography—flanked by the Wasatch Range and Oquirrh Mountains—creates a natural wind tunnel that produces powerful downslope windstorms with gusts exceeding 60 mph. These wind events routinely knock out Rocky Mountain Power service as debris strikes power lines, poles snap, and trees topple onto infrastructure. In October 2025, high wind warnings covered the entire Salt Lake Valley including South Jordan, Sandy, West Jordan, and Draper, with 60+ mph gusts causing widespread outages. In December 2025, storms knocked out power from Spanish Fork to Rexburg. The Tooele County area alone lost service to over 13,700 customers in a single wind event. Solar-plus-battery systems provide critical backup when Rocky Mountain Power's overhead lines go down in the valley's frequent windstorms.
🔋
Net Billing Makes Battery Storage Essential
Rocky Mountain Power does NOT offer true net metering in Utah. Instead, the utility uses "net billing"—and the difference is significant. Under RMP's Schedule 137, excess solar exports earn approximately 5.7¢/kWh in summer and 4.2¢/kWh the rest of the year—roughly half the retail rate you pay to buy electricity. As of March 2025, these export credits were reduced by 26%. Credits are calculated instantaneously (not monthly), and unused annual credits are purchased at wholesale avoided-cost rates. This means every kilowatt-hour you export to the grid is worth half what you'd pay to buy it back. Battery storage flips this equation: by storing excess daytime solar production and consuming it during evening hours, you capture the full retail value of every kilowatt-hour instead of losing half to RMP's discounted export rate. Batteries are economically essential in Utah's net billing environment.

Featured Products for the Wasatch Front
Every product we sell is selected for real-world performance in Utah's demanding mountain climate—high-altitude UV intensity, four-season temperature swings from -10°F winter lows to 100°F+ summer highs, heavy snow loads, and the Salt Lake Valley's powerful wind events. The Wasatch Front demands equipment built for extremes.
Solar Panels
Aptos Solar, Canadian Solar, and Q Cells monocrystalline panels delivering efficiency ratings up to 22.8% with 25–30 year warranties. At South Jordan's 4,500-foot elevation, solar panels receive more intense irradiance than low-elevation installations—and Utah's cold winter temperatures actually boost efficiency, since solar cells perform better in cold weather. All panels we stock feature low temperature coefficients (-0.29% to -0.34%/°C) and are engineered for Utah's climate: snow load ratings to 5,400 Pa (112 psf), wind resistance to 130+ mph for Wasatch wind events, and hail resistance to 1.75" diameter for summer thunderstorms. With RMP's net billing crediting exports at only ~5¢/kWh, maximizing self-consumption is critical—which makes proper system sizing essential. Available in residential (400–420W) and commercial (550W+) configurations optimized for the Salt Lake Valley's solar geometry.
Tesla Powerwall 3, Enphase IQ Battery, and Franklin WholePower lithium-ion batteries—the most economically important component in any Utah solar installation. Under Rocky Mountain Power's net billing, exports earn roughly half the retail rate (~5.7¢ summer, ~4.2¢ winter vs. 14¢+ retail). Battery storage captures your excess daytime solar production and lets you consume it during expensive evening hours, effectively doubling the value of every stored kilowatt-hour compared to exporting it. Rocky Mountain Power's Wattsmart Battery Program provides additional incentive: $400/kW upfront rebate (up to $2,000) plus $15/kW annual bill credit for three years on qualifying Sonnen batteries. Storm Guard mode pre-charges to 100% when severe wind events approach—critical in South Jordan where powerful windstorms routinely knock out service. Operating range of -4°F to +122°F handles Utah's full temperature swing. All batteries independently qualify for the 30% federal ITC.
SolarEdge, Enphase, and SMA inverters converting DC solar production into usable AC power with 97–99% efficiency. For South Jordan homes with partial shading from mature trees—common in established neighborhoods near the Jordan River corridor—Enphase microinverters ensure independent panel-level optimization. Newer developments like Daybreak and Bingham Creek typically have minimal shading, making string inverters with SolarEdge optimizers an excellent value. Hybrid inverters from SolarEdge and Sol-Ark are critical for Utah installations: they enable seamless solar-plus-battery integration that maximizes self-consumption under RMP's net billing—automatically prioritizing battery charging during peak solar hours and discharging during expensive evening periods. Built-in rapid shutdown per NEC 2020 compliance. Real-time monitoring through smartphone apps tracks production, consumption, and battery state of charge, helping you optimize every kilowatt-hour against RMP's time-differentiated rates.
Generac, EcoFlow, and Bluetti generators providing reliable backup when Wasatch Front windstorms knock out Rocky Mountain Power service. From whole-home standby generators that activate automatically to portable power stations for camping in the Uintas, snowbird ski trips, or emergency preparedness—we carry the full range. Natural gas generators are popular in South Jordan where Dominion Energy provides widespread residential service, offering unlimited fuel supply during extended outages. In Utah's cold winters, losing heat can be dangerous—a generator ensures your furnace, lights, and essential appliances keep running regardless of grid conditions. Generator-plus-solar hybrid configurations provide the ultimate resilience: solar and batteries handle daily production and cost savings while the generator covers extended multi-day outages. Automatic transfer switches ensure seamless power transition with zero interruption to your home.
IronRidge, Unirac, and K2 Systems mounting hardware engineered for Utah rooftops and ground-mount installations. South Jordan's housing stock is predominantly newer construction—single-family homes with composite shingle roofs in the 4:12 to 8:12 pitch range, well-suited for flush-mount solar installations. Snow load engineering is critical in the Salt Lake Valley: all racking systems we stock meet Utah's structural requirements with snow load ratings exceeding 50 psf. Ballasted flat-roof systems available for commercial properties. Wind ratings exceed 110 mph for Wasatch Front conditions.

Real feedback from homeowners and contractors across the Wasatch Front.
★★★★★
"When Rocky Mountain Power announced the 30% rate hike, we decided it was time. Our 2,800 sq ft Daybreak home was averaging $135/month—and climbing. We installed a 10kW system with dual Enphase IQ batteries using Portlandia equipment. The batteries are the game-changer: instead of selling our excess back to RMP at 5 cents, we store it and use it ourselves in the evening. First full year, our net electricity cost was under $180 total. Between the federal tax credit and the Wattsmart rebate, our payback is tracking under 8 years. After that? Twenty years of essentially free electricity while our neighbors keep paying more every year."

★★★★★
"I install solar across the entire Wasatch Front—South Jordan, Draper, Riverton, Herriman, Lehi. My business has doubled in the past year because of RMP's rate increases. Every homeowner is talking about it. What I need from a distributor is consistent inventory, competitive pricing, and fast delivery. Portlandia checks all three boxes. Forty-two residential installs last year, zero equipment failures, and my orders arrive in 48 hours. In a market growing this fast, I can't afford supply chain disruptions. They've been rock solid."
Derek T.
Draper, UT (Salt Lake County)
★★★★★
"Our tech office in the Silicon Slopes corridor was spending $8,500 a month on electricity—servers, HVAC, and lighting for 200+ employees. We installed an 85kW commercial system with Portlandia equipment. Between the 30% ITC and MACRS depreciation, we recovered over half the system cost in year one. Annual savings are running $52,000. The CFO considers it one of our best capital investments. And when the windstorm knocked out power last October, our battery backup kept the server room running for four hours while the rest of the park went dark."

Frequently Asked Questions – Solar in South Jordan, UT
Solar savings in South Jordan depend on your electricity usage, system size, and whether you include battery storage. A typical 10–12kW residential system with battery storage saves $1,500–$2,500+ per year on Rocky Mountain Power bills. With the 30% federal ITC and Wattsmart Battery rebate, net system costs for a complete solar-plus-battery installation run $24,000–$30,000. At current RMP rates of ~14¢/kWh—and with the utility signaling further increases—payback periods typically range from 10–15 years for residential systems. After payback, you enjoy 10–15 additional years of essentially free electricity. Over 25 years, projected savings range from $15,000 to $35,000+ depending on system size and future rate increases. Commercial installations with MACRS depreciation see dramatically faster payback—often under 4 years.
Rocky Mountain Power uses "net billing" (Schedule 137), which is significantly less favorable than true net metering. When your solar panels produce more electricity than you're using at any given moment, the excess is exported to the grid and credited at approximately 5.7¢/kWh in summer and 4.2¢/kWh in winter—roughly half the retail rate you pay to buy electricity from RMP (~14¢/kWh). Credits are calculated instantaneously, not at the end of a monthly billing cycle. Unused annual credits are purchased by RMP at their wholesale avoided-cost rate. This structure means exporting solar energy is worth significantly less than consuming it yourself. Battery storage is the solution: by storing excess daytime production and using it during evening hours, you capture the full 14¢/kWh retail value instead of the discounted 5¢ export rate. This effectively doubles the value of every stored kilowatt-hour compared to exporting.
South Jordan solar installations benefit from several key incentives. The 30% federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) applies to solar panels, inverters, batteries (3+ kWh), and installation labor—the single most valuable incentive available. Rocky Mountain Power's Wattsmart Battery Program provides $400/kW upfront rebate (up to $2,000) plus $15/kW annual bill credit for three years on qualifying batteries. Utah's solar easement laws protect your system from shading by neighboring properties. Commercial installations additionally qualify for MACRS 5-year accelerated depreciation, which combined with the ITC can recover 55–60% of total system cost in the first year. Note: Utah's former state solar tax credit (RESTC) expired in January 2023 and is no longer available. There is currently no state-level solar rebate or property tax exemption, making the federal ITC and battery rebate the primary financial incentives.
Yes—Utah's solar economics work well across all four seasons. Solar panels actually operate more efficiently in cold temperatures because silicon solar cells produce slightly more voltage as they cool. This means your panels are at peak electrical efficiency on cold, clear winter days. While winter days are shorter and the sun sits lower in the sky, South Jordan still receives meaningful solar production from October through March. Snow is typically a minor issue: panels are mounted at an angle and have dark surfaces that absorb heat, causing snow to slide off relatively quickly. Light dustings often melt within hours. Heavy snow events may temporarily reduce production for 1–3 days, but Utah's abundant spring, summer, and fall sunshine more than compensates. The net annual production for a South Jordan system is excellent thanks to Utah's high altitude, dry climate, and 222 sunny days per year.
The average South Jordan home uses approximately 800–1,200 kWh per month, though larger homes can consume significantly more—especially with electric heating supplements or EV charging. To offset 80–100% of typical consumption, you'll need an 8–12kW system (19–29 panels). With Utah's 5.26 average peak sun hours, a 10kW system produces approximately 14,500–16,000 kWh annually. For battery storage, one 13.5kWh battery handles most evening needs, while dual batteries (27kWh) maximize self-consumption and provide extended backup. Total system cost for a 10kW solar + dual battery installation runs $35,000–$42,000 before incentives. After the 30% ITC and Wattsmart rebate, net cost drops to $23,000–$28,000. Your installer can fine-tune sizing based on your specific roof orientation, usage patterns, EV charging needs, and whether you're optimizing for maximum bill reduction or maximum backup capability.
South Jordan's location in the Salt Lake Valley creates unique vulnerability to power outages. The valley is flanked by the Wasatch Range to the east and the Oquirrh Mountains to the west, creating a natural wind funnel that produces powerful downslope windstorms—particularly during fall and winter weather systems. These winds regularly gust above 60 mph, snapping tree branches, sending airborne debris into overhead power lines, and damaging Rocky Mountain Power's distribution infrastructure. The utility ranks South Jordan among its most outage-affected service areas. Recent events illustrate the pattern: October 2025's 60+ mph wind event caused widespread outages across the entire Salt Lake Valley; December 2025 storms knocked out power from the Wasatch Front to southeastern Idaho; and Tooele County lost service to over 13,700 customers in a single event. Solar-plus-battery systems provide automatic backup when grid power fails, keeping your lights, heat, and essential systems running while neighbors wait for restoration.
