Yes, there are government incentives for installing all-in-one energy storage systems. These incentives vary by level (federal and state) and can include tax credits and rebates.
Federal Incentives
- Investment Tax Credit (ITC): The Inflation Reduction Act extended the ITC to standalone battery storage systems, allowing businesses and homeowners to claim a 30% tax credit on installation costs. This applies to systems installed from 2023 to 2032, after which it phases down.
- Residential Clean Energy Credit: Similar to the ITC, this credit provides a 30% tax credit for qualified clean energy property, including battery storage systems with at least 3 kWh capacity, through 2032.
State Incentives
- California: The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) offers rebates for energy storage systems. The standard rebate is tiered, and there are higher incentives for equity resiliency projects targeting areas like high fire risk districts and low-income households, providing rebates of $850 to $1,000 per kWh.
- Connecticut: Offers up to $16,000 towards residential installations and 50% savings for businesses through the Energy Storage Solutions program.
- Massachusetts: Provides financial incentives through the Mass Save Connected Solutions program to support grid stability.
- New York: Long Island residents can receive a $250 per kilowatt rebate for battery storage.
These incentives can significantly reduce the cost of installing energy storage systems and encourage wider adoption.
