How does the Solar Battery Savings Program Work?
SDCP’s Solar Battery Savings Program is a one-of-a-kind battery incentive program that provides customers thousands of dollars in up-front rebates for batteries. Additionally, they get to participate in grid services by discharging their battery 1-4 hours a day and getting paid $0.10/kWh for doing so.
- Current estimate of annual ongoing payment is $200-300 per year
- Can choose the percentage of their battery that participates, as well as how often to participate*
- Customers can also collect additional rebates if they qualify
