Yes, there are incentives available for installing battery storage technology with a capacity of at least 3 kilowatt hours. Here are some details on federal and state-level incentives:
Federal Incentives
- Residential Clean Energy Credit: This federal tax credit provides a 30% credit for the cost of qualified battery storage technology installed between January 1, 2022, and December 31, 2032. The credit phases down to 26% in 2033 and 22% in 2034.
- Eligibility Criteria: Battery storage must be new, have a capacity of at least 3 kilowatt hours, and be installed in a residential home in the United States.
- Claiming the Credit: The credit is claimed using IRS Form 5695 and is non-refundable, meaning it cannot exceed the amount owed in taxes for the year.
State-Level Incentives
Several states offer rebates and programs to encourage battery storage installations:
- California: The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) offers rebates based on system capacity, with higher incentives for areas prone to wildfires.
- Connecticut: Provides up to $16,000 for residential customers and 50% savings for businesses through the Energy Storage Solutions program.
