SGIP Rebate Program: Save Big on Tesla Powerwall Installations in California

California homeowners are no strangers to power outages, wildfire threats, and rising utility bills. That’s why more people than ever are investing in energy storage solutions like the Tesla Powerwall 3. But did you know you could get thousands of dollars back on your installation through California’s Self‑Generation Incentive Program (SGIP)?

At Home Upgrade Specialist, we’re proud to be listed as an approved SGIP developer and Tesla Certified Installer, helping homeowners in Southern California unlock major rebates while preparing their homes for energy independence.

🔋 What Is SGIP?

The Self‑Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) is a rebate initiative managed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). SGIP provides financial incentives for battery storage systems—whether or not you have solar—and is designed to reduce demand on the grid, increase resiliency, and support vulnerable communities.

SGIP Applies To:
Tesla Powerwall and other energy storage systems
Both solar and non-solar customers
Homes in fire-prone areas, low-income communities, and areas affected by Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS)
SGIP rebates are available through your local utility provider (SCE, PG&E, SDG&E, SoCalGas, etc.) and funds are limited—so timing is critical.

👉 See the CPUC’s official SGIP overview

✅ Who Is Eligible?

To qualify for SGIP rebates, you must:

Be a customer of a participating utility (e.g., SCE, PG&E, LADWP, SoCalGas)
Install an eligible battery storage system
Live in a qualifying area (fire zone, PSPS-impacted, disadvantaged community), or meet equity/low-income criteria
Use a CPUC‑approved SGIP developer like Home Upgrade Specialist

Even if you don’t qualify for the highest rebate tier, standard rebates are still substantial—covering up to 50% of the cost of a Tesla Powerwall 3.

💸 How Much Is the SGIP Rebate?

Rebate levels vary based on your eligibility tier:

SGIP Category Rebate Amount
Standard Residential ~$250–$400 per kWh
Equity Residential Up to $850 per kWh
Equity Resiliency (PSPS/Fire Zone/Low Income) Up to $1,000+ per kWh
A Tesla Powerwall 3 provides 13.5 kWh of storage. That means rebates could range from $3,000 to over $13,000, depending on your eligibility.
