Your application paperwork
SGIP gives California utility customers a per-kilowatt-hour rebate for installing a qualifying battery storage system (with higher Equity and Equity Resiliency rebates for income-qualified households and wildfire or medical-need cases). There is no standard form a homeowner files; you hire an approved SGIP contractor and that contractor submits the application for you online through your utility Program Administrator (PG&E, SCE, SoCalGas, or SDG&E via the Center for Sustainable Energy).
Steps to apply
- Confirm your electric utility (PG&E, SCE, SoCalGas, or SDG&E) and check the rebate category you may qualify for (General Market, Equity, or Equity Resiliency).
- Hire an installer from the official Approved SGIP Developer List and sign an installation agreement.
- Your contractor submits the Reservation Request Form (RRF) through the SGIP online portal at selfgenca.com to reserve your incentive funds before the system is built.
- After approval and installation, your contractor submits the Incentive Claim Form (ICF) with proof of installation so the rebate is paid out.
- Provide your contractor any eligibility documents (such as income verification, CARE/FERA/ESA enrollment, or Medical Baseline proof) needed for an Equity or Equity Resiliency rebate.
Documents you will likely need
- Signed installation agreement with an approved SGIP contractor
- Battery storage system specifications and site plan (prepared by the contractor)
- Proof of utility account and that the equipment is on the customer side of the meter
- Income verification or proof of CARE, FERA, or ESA enrollment (for Equity or Equity Resiliency rebates)
- Medical Baseline enrollment or wildfire/PSPS resiliency documentation (for Equity Resiliency rebate)
Requirements vary by program and locality. Confirm the exact rules and application route with the administrator. We can help you prepare your paperwork, but you submit it yourself.
