Solar in Bountiful in 2026: Municipal Power Options and a Real Rebate Stack

Ask Solar Mike

Bountiful is a well-established Davis County city just north of Salt Lake, running its own municipal utility, Bountiful City Light and Power. The city offers a Net Metering Hybrid program as the default option, with a residential system cap. With utilities statewide now projecting close to 10 percent annual rate increases, Bountiful homeowners have a real reason to look at solar in 2026.

The current rebate stack for Bountiful

Ask Solar Mike offers 30 percent off qualifying Tesla Solar Panel and Solar Roof systems, plus his own $2,000 rebate. Because Bountiful runs its own municipal utility rather than Rocky Mountain Power, the separate $2,000 RMP rebate does not apply here. Bountiful homeowners still receive 30 percent off plus Mike's $2,000 rebate.

Bountiful City Light and Power: know the cap

Bountiful's default residential program is a Net Metering Hybrid structure, and the city applies a system size cap for residential customers. That cap makes correct sizing essential, since a system designed past the limit will not qualify under the standard program. Mike confirms the current cap, rate schedule, and program options with the city before designing anything, so your system fits what Bountiful actually allows and credits.

The rate story behind the urgency

Utah rates historically rose around 4 percent a year. Utilities are now projecting close to 10 percent annually, driven by AI data-center demand and grid modernization. Municipal utilities buy power on the same wholesale market and face the same infrastructure costs, so Bountiful is not immune. Solar locks in your own cost of production.

What changed in 2026

The federal residential solar tax credit ended January 1, 2026 for cash and loan buyers, and Tesla's manufacturer instant rebate has also ended. What remains is Mike's 30 percent and his $2,000 rebate, applied directly to your project with no filing.

FAQ

Does Bountiful qualify for the Rocky Mountain Power rebate? No. Bountiful runs its own municipal utility, so the RMP-specific rebate does not apply. Mike's 30 percent and $2,000 rebate still do.

Why does system size matter in Bountiful? The city applies a residential cap under its standard program, so sizing correctly is what keeps you eligible for the terms you are counting on.
