Utah’s solar easements law allows you to work with your neighbors to make sure that nothing shades your solar panel system while the sun is shining. Net metering in Utah allows customers to offset their energy use and transfer energy back to their electric companies in exchange for a credit. In addition, you qualify for the federal solar tax credit.
