How to Avoid Solar Scams and High-Pressure Sales in Utah

SBI Editorial DeskUpdated Q1 · 20261 sections

Because the Utah solar market is growing rapidly, it attracts aggressive door-to-door sales teams that use deceptive tactics to rush homeowners into poor financial agreements.

01

Red Flags to Watch For:

  • Ignoring Net Billing Rules: If a contractor tries to sell you a massive solar system without explaining how RMP's Schedule 136 export rates work, they are setting you up for failure. Without a battery to store excess power, you will lose money.
  • The "Free Government Solar" Program: There is no statewide program giving away free solar panels in Utah. If an ad claims you get free panels, they are tricking you into a high-interest lease.
  • Skipping Wattsmart Registration: If an installer is not actively getting you enrolled in the RMP Wattsmart Battery program, you are leaving thousands of dollars in cash rebates on the table.
