How solar works on Murray's city power

Murray runs its own electric utility and is a member of Utah Associated Municipal Power Systems. If your home or business is served by Murray's city-owned system, its Net Metering Pilot Program applies instead of Rocky Mountain Power's rules.

Murray's Net Metering Pilot Program covers solar, wind, or hydro systems up to 10 kW. When your system produces more than you use in a billing period, the excess is credited as kilowatt-hours on your next bill. Those credits apply only to energy use, not service charges, and any credits left on the account at the April bill each year are reset to zero.

Because unused credits reset each April, we size Murray systems to match how much electricity you use over the year rather than to overproduce.

What Murray requires before your system goes live

Murray's interconnection agreement sets out these requirements, and the city has the final say on which interconnection requirements apply to each installation. We prepare the application and plans and coordinate with the city.

✓A signed Net Metering Pilot Program interconnection and service agreement for each service location
✓The city's application and compliance form describing the system
✓A bi-directional revenue meter, installed and owned by the city
✓Equipment that meets the National Electrical Code, IEEE, and UL requirements the agreement lists

The federal solar tax credit: what changed

The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit covered 30% of the cost of home solar installed from 2022 through December 31, 2025. The IRS states the credit is not available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025.

For a home system bought with cash or financing today, your savings come from the electricity you no longer buy and from your utility's credit for the energy you send back to the grid. Your quote shows both, using your utility's current terms.
