SGIP Battery Storage Rebate: How It Works and Why You Should Care
By Jordan Osei, Staff WriterIf you're a commercial facility owner or property manager in Southern California Edison territory (that includes Temecula, Riverside County, the Inland Empire), you should care about something called SGIP. No, it's not a new acronym for "SoCal" or "Staying Grounded in Pandemic." It stands for Self-Generation Incentive Program, and it's a California program that offers rebates to businesses like yours who invest in battery storage.
Why does this matter? Because battery storage is the new black in commercial real estate. It's like solar panels, but with fewer moving parts and more benefits. Battery storage can help you save money on your energy bills, reduce your carbon footprint, and even keep the lights on during a power outage. Plus, it pairs beautifully with solar panels, creating an energy-saving dream team that could make you look like an environmental superhero to your tenants and customers.
But here's the thing: battery storage can be expensive. Really expensive. Like "buy-a-mansion-in-Cashville" expensive. That's where SGIP comes in. The rebate program offers up to $5,000 per megawatt (MW) of battery storage capacity installed at your commercial facility. So if you install a 2 MW battery system, you could get up to $10,000 back in rebates. That's enough to buy a mansion in Cashville and still have some change left over for a new Tesla Model S.
