Battery storage incentives typically fall into two main categories: upfront incentives and performance-based incentives. These include rebates and tax credits that reduce initial costs based on system size and capacity.
To date, state-level performance incentives for storage have typically been added to solar incentives. Perhaps the best-known state-level storage incentive in the US is California's Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP). SGIP provides a dollar per kilowatt ($/kW) rebate for the energy storage installed.
The best incentive for storage is the federal investment tax credit (ITC). The exact same ITC that provides a 30 percent credit on the cost of your solar system provides that same benefit to storage systems under certain conditions.
The exact same ITC that provides a 30 percent credit on the cost of your solar system provides that same benefit to storage systems under certain conditions. Due to the Inflation Reduction Act, as of 2023, all residential storage systems over 3 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in size are eligible for the ITC.
In fact, Green Mountain Power offers a few different programs for energy storage: a bring-your-own-device program that provides a rebate for whatever battery you want to install, as well as a Tesla Powerwall Pilot program. Did you find this page helpful?
These incentives typically take one of two forms: an upfront rebate or a performance-based incentive. Rebate programs are exactly what they sound like: states provide a direct cash payment after your battery is installed and connected to the grid. To date, state-level performance incentives for storage have typically been added to solar incentives.
Now, home batteries will only qualify for the 30% tax credit if they're purchased and installed by the end of the year before the credit phases out entirely. There is a bright spot: residential systems leased from third parties will remain eligible for tax credits beyond 2025, as they rely on 48E instead of 25D.
Project owners BSTOR and Energy Solutions Group have started building separate BESS projects totalling 440MWh of capacity in Belgium, following financial close, both of which will use Tesla Megapacks.

Jan De Nul, ENGIE and Equans launch a pilot project centred around the use of Vanadium Redox Flow batteries on industrial scale. This type of battery, which is still relatively unknown to the general public, could become a safe and sustainable complement to the widely-used lithium-ion battery.
