Solar and Wind Energy in the Uinta Basin

All of the Uinta Basin is prime for solar and wind. From Colorado west, including both Uintah and Duchesne counties. The length of the sunlight in the Uintah Basin varies significantly over the course of the year. In 2025, the shortest day is December 21, with 9 hours, 12 minutes of daylight; the longest day is June 20, with 15 hours, 9 minutes of daylight. This is excellent for solar panels. Wind is common in this part of Utah, and wind makes an excellent companion to solar. Wind works at night when solar does not.

By using solar and wind together, your batteries will be charged constantly by nature. This means a significant reduction in the batteries in your bank as well as the money it takes to buy them. Depending on how much energy you use after the sun goes down, a battery bank without a wind generator can easily cost over a thousand dollars in order to have enough power when the sun is not shining.

The grid can go down anytime. Three or four times a year, when I go to the store, they can not sell to me as the grid is down. At home, the power only goes off when I turn it off.
