Home Energy Storage Solutions

Save on Energy Storage Systems to Keep Your Home Powered

To help our customers be better prepared for outages and Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), we are offering incentives available through the Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP). These systems are designed to offset your energy use and work as backup batteries to provide power for your home when an outage or a PSPS occurs.

If you live in a high-fire risk area or other qualifying communities, you may be eligible for equity resiliency incentives through SGIP. Customers who do not live in a high-fire risk area or other qualifying communities can still apply for SGIP general market incentives.

For more information, visit the SGIP Battery Storage for Residential Customers Fact Sheet.

Why should I install a home energy storage system?

1. Be Prepared for a PSPS 

   Installing an energy storage system can help you prepare for a PSPS or other outage types. A battery will use stored grid or solar energy to keep your home running when grid power is disconnected.

2. Qualify for Low-Cost Installation 

   Qualifying customers may have most installation costs covered, allowing your home to be prepared for the unexpected without significant out-of-pocket costs.

3. Safe and Supportive Process 

   You can search for approved developers online to support you through the application and installment process.

How Energy Storage Systems Work 

Your energy storage system will charge either from the grid or solar while it is not in use. The amount of stored power will depend on your home’s energy usage as well as the size of your energy system. This stored energy will then keep your home powered on during an outage or a PSPS. You may also be able to take advantage of Time-Of-Use rates by charging your battery when rates are lower during the day or on weekends.

Whether you are considering an energy storage system or have one set up, be sure to review SCE's Battery Energy Storage System (BESS) standards and practices to make sure your system operates safely.
