Save up to $7,500 on a Solar Battery with PG&E Rebates

If you’re wondering, “Are there any rebates for solar batteries in California?” the answer is yes, but not for much longer!

PG&E currently offers a $7,500 Permanent Battery Storage Rebate for qualifying homeowners. But here’s the catch: this program is first-come, first-served. As of mid-August, only a few hundred rebates remain!

If you’ve been considering solar panels for your home with solar battery backup, now is the time to act.

How Californians Can Benefit from Solar Battery Backup

If you live in California, it’s very likely you’ve experienced frequent power outages, from wildfire safety shutoffs to grid strain on hot summer days. A solar plus battery backup system can:

• Keep the lights on when the grid goes down
• Power refrigerators, medical devices, and essential electronics
• Save stored solar energy for use at night or during peak-rate hours
• Reduce reliance on PG&E and protect your budget against rising electricity costs

With PG&E’s solar battery rebate, installing a solar plus battery system and benefiting is more affordable.

Who Qualifies for the $7,500 PG&E Solar Battery Rebate?

To be eligible, you must:

• Be a PG&E residential electric service customer.
• Be a first-time permanent battery storage customer.
• Install a system on PG&E’s Qualified Product List.
• Be enrolled in a Time-of-Use (TOU) rate plan and a Demand Response Program (such as Power Saver Rewards or Smart Rate).

Very importantly, you must have experienced at least 5 Enhanced Powerline Safety Settings (EPSS) outages since January 1, 2023. You can quickly confirm if your home meets this condition by entering your address on PG&E’s Wildfire Safety Progress Map.

How to Combine Solar Battery Rebates and Save Even More

Here’s where it gets even better: qualifying homeowners may stack this rebate with other incentives. This is what your total solar battery incentive package could look like:

• PG&E Permanent Battery Storage Rebate: $7,500
• Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP): $1,500–$2,600
• Federal Solar Tax Credit: 30% off the remaining cost (but only until the end of 2025!)

That’s a potential of at least $10,000+ in savings on your battery installation, plus the tax credit. But two of these incentives are ending soon.

Act Fast, These Solar Battery Rebates Are Running Out!

To qualify, your rebate application needs to be submitted by December 31, 2025. But with only a few hundred rebates left as of mid-August, the incentive program has a good chance of ending sooner, so waiting could mean missing out entirely.
