California SGIP Battery Incentives in 2026: What Installers and Homeowners Need to Know

Even with NEM 3.0 reducing export credits, California still offers targeted battery incentives through the SGIP program in 2026. These rebates make solar plus storage more attractive than ever for projects in PG&E, SCE, and SDG&E territories.

As your California-based nationwide distributor, SunsUpPV helps installers take full advantage of these opportunities with readily available inventory and practical guidance.

Current SGIP Opportunities

Qualifying projects in low-income, disadvantaged, or high-resiliency areas can still access meaningful rebates. When combined with NEM 3.0’s emphasis on self-consumption, batteries deliver stronger payback periods and extra value through backup power and peak-rate savings.
