About the Program
SGIP is a real, state-funded program administered by California's major utility companies — PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, and SoCalGas. Funded by utility ratepayers, not taxpayer money, and overseen by the CPUC.
What You Can Receive
Qualifying homeowners can receive rebates of up to $1,000 per kWh for battery storage systems. Residents in disadvantaged communities may qualify for systems at little to no cost. Call (877) 743-1143 to learn more.
