Enphase Batteries Qualify for San Diego Solar Incentive Program
Enphase Energy, Inc. (NASDAQ: ENPH) announced that its IQ® Battery systems now qualify for San Diego Community Power’s Solar Battery Savings program, offering customers upfront rebates and performance incentives to enhance grid reliability and boost residential clean energy adoption.
The program provides upfront rebates of up to $350 per kilowatt-hour of usable battery capacity for new systems and $250 per kWh for retrofit installations, along with $0.10 per kWh in ongoing discharge incentives. The initiative targets peak demand periods between 4 p.m. and 9 p.m., supporting grid stability and reducing electricity costs for participants.
San Diego Community Power (SDCP), a community choice aggregator serving nearly one million customers, launched the Solar Battery Savings program to encourage distributed energy storage and strengthen local energy resilience. Enphase’s inclusion expands customer options, particularly with its AC-coupled IQ Battery 10C system, which allows modular capacity scaling and whole-home backup without extensive rewiring.
Market-rate customers can install up to three IQ Battery 10C units without exceeding the $10,000 rebate cap, while larger rebates are available for nonmarket rate participants. Enphase’s recently introduced fourth-generation Energy System, featuring the IQ Meter Collar and IQ Combiner 6C, simplifies installation and whole-home backup configurations. All core components are covered by a 15-year limited warranty.
Local installers such as Baker Electric Home Energy and SolHome report growing customer interest driven by bill savings, backup reliability, and improved installation efficiency through Enphase’s new system design. The company is also emphasizing its U.S.-manufactured IQ Battery 10C units, which qualify for the federal Domestic Content Bonus Credit when paired with compatible American-made components.
Enphase’s partnership with SDCP underscores the broader trend toward leveraging distributed energy resources to enhance grid flexibility and decarbonization efforts across California. With this program, the company strengthens its foothold in the state’s rapidly expanding residential energy storage market and aligns with federal incentives supporting domestic manufacturing and energy security.
