While there are numerous state-level incentives for energy storage, particularly for primary residences and businesses, specific incentives for energy storage in second homes are less common. However, some general state incentives could potentially apply if the second home is not rented to others and is located in the United States.
Here are some states with notable incentives for energy storage, although they generally apply to primary residences or businesses:
- California: The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) offers incentives for energy storage, focusing on residential and non-residential applications, with specific benefits for low-income households and high fire threat districts.
- Connecticut: The Energy Storage Solutions program provides upfront rebates and performance-based incentives, with additional benefits for low-income areas.
- Massachusetts: Offers incentives through the Mass Save Connected Solutions program, focusing on reducing energy consumption during peak demand.
- New York: Long Island residents can receive a $250 per kilowatt rebate, though this program is largely targeted at primary residences.
- Illinois: Offers rebates to Ameren Illinois or ComEd customers, but typically these programs are designed for primary homes or businesses.
The federal Residential Clean Energy Credit does allow for credits on second homes if they are not rented out and are located in the U.S., but it does not provide credits for fuel cells on second homes. To maximize incentives for a second home, it’s essential to check each state’s specific program details and ensure the property meets the eligibility criteria.
