SMUD Home Battery Rebate
Rebate Overview
Overview
The SMUD Home Battery Rebate is a program that offers financial incentives to homeowners who install battery storage systems. You can receive up to $5,000 for each battery installed, with a maximum of two batteries per household. Additionally, there are ongoing quarterly payments based on the number of batteries installed. To qualify, you must enroll and participate in the My Energy Optimizer Partner+ program.
Benefits
Installing a battery storage system can provide backup power during outages, ensuring your home stays powered when needed. It can also help reduce your electric bill by using stored energy during peak hours when electricity is most expensive. By shifting your excess solar generation to peak periods, you can lower your carbon emissions, contributing to a cleaner environment.
More Information
- To be eligible, you must have a battery storage unit installed at your home and participate in SMUD’s Solar and Storage Rate (SSR).
- Individual rental units are ineligible until SMUD determines a way for owners and tenants to mutually benefit from the program.
- Multifamily homes, including apartments, condos, and duplexes, are eligible, but tenant restrictions apply.
- MED Rate customers are not eligible for the My Energy Optimizer Partner+ program.
- To receive the enrollment incentive, you must enroll within 90 days after receiving permission to operate (PTO) from SMUD.
- Currently, ongoing quarterly incentives are only available for Tesla batteries, which are optimized year-round and will continue to be available for customer use, such as backup power needs in the event of an outage.
