Solar power in Syracuse, Utah
RMP do offer some okay incentives for their solar customers, although their net metering plan is a bit below average, a state tax credit is available and if you're lucky a rebate. Under RMP's net metering customers are credited at the retail rate for power for their unused solar generation and after covering the cost of power drawn from the grid credit is given at the retail power rate and can be carried forward to be used on bills within the same 12 month cycle. Sadly if more power is exported than consumed at the end of the year no compensation is offered however just being able to wipe out your bill is nice. At the start of each year RMP does offer a $1,100 per kW rebate up to $4,400 however, only enough funding is provided to offer 125 $4,400 rebates so the program ends quick!
