Solar installation in Salt Lake City.
ETW Energy installs solar and battery storage for homes across Salt Lake City and the surrounding Wasatch Front. Most of the area is served by Rocky Mountain Power, and how that utility credits your solar shapes the entire design — so we build around the rules that actually apply here, not a generic national pitch.
Salt Lake City has an excellent solar resource, but the economics here reward using your own power more than exporting it. That is the heart of how we size a system in this market.
Why storage matters in RMP territory
Because exported energy is credited below retail, the most valuable kilowatt-hour is one you use yourself. A battery lets you store daytime production and use it in the evening instead of exporting it cheaply and buying it back at full price.
Rocky Mountain Power also runs a battery program that pays you to let the utility draw on your storage as a dispatchable resource — adding a second source of value on top of self-consumption.
Designed for the Wasatch Front
High elevation and strong sun make for great production, but winter snow load and cold matter for mounting and equipment choices. We design for the local climate and handle Salt Lake City permitting and RMP interconnection end to end.
Solar in Salt Lake City — common questions
Does Rocky Mountain Power pay retail for my solar exports?
No. RMP uses net billing, which credits exported energy below the retail rate, with different summer and winter rates. That is why systems here are designed around using your own power, often with a battery.
Is a battery worth it in Salt Lake City?
Often, yes — both to use more of your own production instead of exporting it cheaply, and to earn value through Rocky Mountain Power’s battery program. We will model whether it pays off for your home.
