It's a SMUD program that may provide an enrollment incentive and ongoing payments to eligible homeowners who install qualifying battery storage and share some stored energy with the grid during peak demand. Rules and amounts are set by SMUD — always verify on smud.org.
SMUD advertises an enrollment incentive of up to $10,000 per household, with ongoing quarterly payments of up to $880/year depending on your battery. These are maximums that vary by eligibility, system size, and participation — they're not guaranteed. We help you understand what may apply to you, and SMUD determines the official amount.
No. Not everyone qualifies. Eligibility depends on SMUD's program requirements, your home, and project review. We help you figure out whether it may make sense for your situation.
Not necessarily. Some homeowners are a good fit for solar, some for batteries, and some for both. Part of the assessment is helping you understand which option — if any — fits your home and goals.
Yes. Battery storage can be installed on its own for backup power and potential incentive opportunities, with or without solar.

About 15–20 minutes. It's short, focused, and there's no obligation.
