With numerous rebates and incentives currently accessible for adopting battery storage, now is the best time to invest in an energy storage system. The extension of federal tax credits under the Inflation Reduction Act, along with a variety of state and local benefits, underscores the importance of understanding your local incentives and the time frames needed to take action. Explore the incentives available to you here to make the most informed decision.
Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions is recognized by the California Public Utilities Commission as a California Manufacturer of energy storage systems (ESS). As such, California residential and commercial customers can now take advantage of an additional 20% SGIP incentive on the cost of their Briggs & Stratton ESS systems. Depending on the type and size of ESS, that could mean that most or all ESS equipment expenses may be covered by California’s SGIP program.
Hundreds of state and local incentives are currently available across the country. These incentives can be added on top of your federal tax credit to significantly offset the initial investment and make transitioning to battery storage more affordable.
Discovering what incentives are available in your area is becoming easier. Click on your state in the list below to find rebates and incentives specific to your state. Each state is linked to the Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE), a comprehensive resource that tracks various programs offered at the state and local levels.
Briggs & Stratton Energy Solutions continues to grow its partnerships with state, local and utility programs. Here’s a list of current programs:
The California Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) encourages storage deployments in California. Initiated by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC), SGIP offers incentives to alleviate consumers’ financial burden of storage. By increasing California’s distributed storage, SGIP incentives were created to help reduce strain on the grid and support those vulnerable to power outages.
California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) has introduced an additional $675 million in funding to support broad adoption of battery storage to 1) create critical customer-sited back-up power and 2) reduce rising levels of CO2 and other GHG emissions behind climate change. As rising heat, drought and severe winds continue to increase the risk of fires and planned Public Safety Power Shutoffs (PSPS), the SGIP program has dedicated 80% of available funding to help cover the cost of new and retrofit battery storage systems.
Our battery storage and management systems create safe and reliable access to power 24/7 for your home and business.
Depending on location and size of project, available rebates can cover from 85% to almost 100% of the installation. To learn more about the SGIP program and qualifying criteria, read our blog and download our quick-view fact sheet!

Local governments and agencies who are tax exempt can also take advantage of clean energy tax credits through direct pay credits, but these programs can be difficult to navigate. Launched in August of 2024 by Lawyers for Good Government, an interactive online tool called the Clean Energy Tax Navigator is designed to help local governments and other tax-exempt entities access the Inflation Reduction Act’s billions of dollars worth of direct-pay tax credits. The free-to-use navigator can help eligible organizations determine if a clean energy project is eligible for the tax credits and figure out how to maximize their return.
