Generators and battery storage provide more than just backup power. See other ways you can leverage energy solutions to enhance your life.
A quick changeover to an always-ready, maintenance-free and quiet power source during utility outages, blackouts, or grid instability.
Collect power generation during off-peak times to use during expected peak rate periods to lower your overall energy costs.
Utilities will provide financial incentives to you (up to $125/kWh) in exchange for tapping into your Energy Storage System.
Incentives can reduce the cost of installing solar and an Energy Storage System by more than 26%. Adding energy storage allows PV system owners to leverage their solar during outages.
A reliable, maintenance-free energy storage solution delivers long-lasting power for a practical and affordable investment.
Replace aging systems with a new system that brings the home into compliance with utility connection and safety standards while creating a greater return on investment.
Whether you are seeking relief from high utility bills, desire backup power to protect your home when grid power is unavailable, or do not have access to the grid and need electricity, we have a full range of on- and off-grid, non-toxic and reliable energy storage solutions to power your home. When the well-being of your home and family are at stake, you shouldn’t have to choose between their safety, energy security and savings. Our entire line of batteries uses a risk-free and environmentally benign lithium-ion chemistry called LFP that does not pose any risk of fire or toxic fumes. We also offer the most powerful home standby generators on the market. Quite simply, our batteries and PowerProtect Generators offer backup power that you can live with.

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!
Briggs & Stratton is an approved “California Manufacturer” under SGIP and this allows an additional 20% discount on approved products such as:
*Qualifies for 20% additional SGIP incentive
**Qualifies for IRS US Content subsidy
SGIP's financial allocation is methodically structured, with a division by developer and a cap set at 20% of each step's budget. Once 50% of the available budget is allocated, the remaining portion is reserved for residential customers affected by power shutoff events or in High Fire Threat Districts (HFTD). This can include increased incentives if your home relies on electric pump wells for water. for pumped water in low income communities
1. Your Briggs & Stratton Certified Installer initiates SGIP initial paperwork to reserve a
portion of funding.
2. Then installation, commissioning, utility approval, and submission of final paperwork to
SGIP administrators is completed.
3. An SGIP administrator conducts a system inspection to confirm operational integrity.
4. Cash rebate is disbursed upon final application approval.

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.
