Your application paperwork
California's Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) pays a rebate to install home battery storage, with much larger equity incentives (about 850 to 1,000 dollars per kilowatt-hour) for low-income customers and those in high-fire-risk or frequently-shut-off areas. You do not apply directly; an approved SGIP installer reserves the incentive and submits the application for you through your utility's program administrator.
Steps to apply
- Confirm you are a customer of a participating California utility and check whether you qualify for the standard or the larger equity incentive.
- Choose an installer from the Approved SGIP Developer List.
- The installer reserves your incentive and submits the SGIP application to your utility's program administrator.
- After the battery is installed and you enroll in a qualifying demand-response program, the incentive is paid.
Documents you will likely need
- Proof you own the home and a recent electric bill from a participating utility.
- For the equity incentive, proof your household income or location qualifies.
- The installer's proposal and equipment details.
- Your utility account information.
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.
