Idaho Falls enjoys a dry climate and high elevation with plenty of sun year round, despite cold seasonal conditions. The city’s proximity to the Snake River Plain ensures long daylight hours and minimal cloud cover during peak solar seasons. Idaho Falls sees an average of more than 5 peak sun hours a day, which far exceeds the average needed for a solar system to be viable.1 Even with cold winters, solar systems benefit from cold but sunny weather, functioning more efficiently since the elements in the panels remain cooler. For these reasons and more, Idaho Falls is considered a good place for solar power.

Homeowners in Idaho Falls have a few local options that provide an incentive to go solar. Some of these include:
Idaho Residential Alternative Energy Tax Deduction: This program allows Idaho homeowners to deduct 40% of the cost of their solar system from their yearly income tax the first year, followed by 20% for the next three years. The maximum deduction is $5,000 per year, for $20,000 total savings.
Net Metering: Idaho Falls Power allows local residents to participate in net metering, which means that the excess energy they generate while the sun shines can be sent to the grid. This energy will be exchanged for energy credits that can be credited against any energy drawn from the grid when the sun is down, ultimately allowing homeowners to reduce energy bills even while the sun’s not shining.

There are a number of great benefits to going solar, including the savings that can be generated from solar, and the environmental impact of renewable energy. Here is a more detailed breakdown of a few of these benefits:
Savings on Utility Bills: Homes with solar power can reduce their utility bills by generating their own power and exporting the excess energy to the grid in exchange for energy credits. In this way, many homes enjoy net-zero billing during sunny seasons. The total savings will be determined by the size of the system, the energy needs of the home, and solar storage solutions included in the system.
Energy Independence: Homeowners who choose to include solar storage in their solar system plans may enjoy complete grid independence as they produce enough solar during sunny times to sustain them during sunless hours or grid outages.
Environmental Impact: According to Google’s Project Sunroof, Idaho Falls has the potential for 903,000 megawatt hours of AC per year through solar installation. This could offer the same carbon reduction as taking 128,000 cars off the roads for a year
