Solar in Spanish Fork in 2026: City Net Metering and the July 4 Rebate

Spanish Fork has its own city power utility, which is good news for solar. Spanish Fork Power and Light runs net metering, generally more favorable to solar owners than the net billing used across most of the state. Add Mike's instant 30 percent rebate before July 4, 2026 and Spanish Fork is a strong place to go solar in 2026. Here is the breakdown.

Spanish Fork Power and Light sets its own rules

Most of Utah is on Rocky Mountain Power, an investor-owned utility on net billing. Spanish Fork is different. Spanish Fork Power and Light is a municipal utility with its own net metering program: the kilowatt-hours you produce offset the kilowatt-hours you use before you are billed on the net. You still pay a base rate because you stay connected to the city grid, but offsetting your usage at the meter is generally better for solar owners than a reduced export credit.

Spanish Fork also offers SharedSolar, a community solar program for homeowners whose roof is not ideal. For a good south or west facing roof, though, rooftop solar typically delivers more long-term value. Because the city sets these terms and they can change, confirm the current Spanish Fork net metering rules and fees with Mike before sizing your system.

What changed federally in 2026

The federal residential solar tax credit ended on January 1, 2026 for cash and loan buyers. You no longer claim 30 percent back on your taxes. Mike replaces it with an instant 30 percent rebate applied at signing, already in your quote, with nothing to file. The rebate ends July 4, 2026, then full price.

Designing the right system in Spanish Fork

With net metering, a correctly sized system can offset a large share of your usage. A Tesla Powerwall 3 still adds outage backup and lets you use more of your own power directly. For most Spanish Fork homes, Tesla solar panels are the cost-effective choice. If your roof is aging, the Tesla Solar Roof is the premium option, chosen for the look and protection over payback.
