Early mover   Avg rate ~11¢/kWh

Utah passed early legislation aimed at enabling small plug-in/portable solar devices, making it one of the first U.S. states with a clear path — the model expected to spread through 2026.

Before you buy in Utah

Call your electric utility and ask: (1) do they allow small plug-in / behind-the-meter grid-tied solar, and (2) is any notification or interconnection form required? Stay within the wattage they specify, use a UL-listed microinverter, and keep written confirmation.

Then estimate your numbers with our savings calculator (pre-loaded with Utah's rate).
