San Diego Community Power Solar Battery Savings Program
Leverage rebates and incentives to reduce your cost to acquire backup power.
Be Ready to Invest in Clean Energy & Support the Grid!
San Diego Community Power’s Solar Battery Savings Program is a customer-focused program designed to support single-family homeowners in our service territory who are ready to invest in clean energy and support the grid by installing solar and battery storage on their homes or complement an existing solar system with a new battery storage system.
The program provides two financial incentives for participating customers: an upfront incentive (in the form of a rebate) to minimize the initial cost of the battery system and a performance incentive for a daily dispatch of the battery to maximize benefits for the customer and the grid.
The performance incentive is based on the percentage of battery capacity that a participant dispatches to their home and/or to the grid during a preset window that aligns with the on-peak periods.
