Pairing solar with battery storage provides backup power during grid outages and can improve the economic benefits of home solar given the state&#8217;s recent cuts to net metering compensation.<\/p>\n<p>The PowerPair pilot will be open to 60,000 kW of solar capacity which will serve a minimum of 6,000 households.<\/p>\n<p>Solar incentives &#8212; especially of this magnitude &#8212; tend to run out fast. So, let&#8217;s talk through how this incentive works and how to claim it.<\/p>\n<h2>Duke Energy&#8217;s PowerPair Basics<\/h2>\n<p>At its core, the Duke Energy PowerPair program is pretty simple. First, install a qualifying solar and battery system through one of Duke Energy&#8217;s approved installers (known as &#8220;Trade Allies&#8221;). Once the system is operational Duke Energy will issue your incentive.<\/p>\n<h3><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-11774 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.solar.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/02\/Heading-1.png\" alt=\"Duke Energy PowerPair Basics\" width=\"563\" height=\"563\" \/><\/h3>\n<h3>Which systems are eligible for PowerPair?<\/h3>\n<p>The incentive only applies to new solar AND battery systems. Solar-only and battery-only systems do not qualify.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The system can be leased or owned<\/li>\n<li>The program does not limit your system size, however, a maximum of 10 kW of solar and 13.5 kWh of battery qualify for the incentive<\/li>\n<li>Upgrades to existing solar + battery systems do not qualify<\/li>\n<li>Recently installed systems are eligible if they were completed within 90 days of submitting your PowerPair application<\/li>\n<li>The system must be operational within 270 days of receiving a PowerPair reservation notice<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>At this time, Duke Energy has not released any equipment eligibility requirements.<\/p>\n<h3>Two incentive types<\/h3>\n<p>There are two options in the program: PowerPair and PowerPair + EnergyWise Battery Control. The key differences are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>The rate plan<\/li>\n<li>Whether Duke Energy can remotely control the battery to help prevent power outages<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%; height: 144px;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\"><\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">PowerPair<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\">PowerPair + EnergyWise Battery Control<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">Solar rebate<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">$0.36 per watt of solar, up to 10 kW<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\">$0.36 per watt of solar, up to 10 kW<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">Battery rebate<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">$400 per kWh of battery, up to 13.5 kWh<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\">$400 per kWh of battery, up to 13.5 kWh<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">Monthly bill credit<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">N\/A<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\">Based on battery capacity<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">Can Duke Energy remotely control battery?<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">No<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\">Yes, up to 36 times per year<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr style=\"height: 24px;\">\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">Rate plan<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 25%; height: 24px;\">Time-of-use<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%; height: 24px;\">Net metering<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<h2>How much could I save with PowerPair?<\/h2>\n<p>The maximum rebate amount for PowerPair is $9,000.

Here&#8217;s how PowerPair rebates combined with the 30% solar tax credit would reduce your overall cost by nearly $20,000.<\/p>\n<table style=\"border-collapse: collapse; width: 100%;\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">Item<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">Cost<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">10 kW solar + 13.5 kWh battery<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">$45,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">PowerPair solar rebate<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">-$3,600<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">PowerPair battery rebate<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">-$5,400<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">Out-of-pocket cost<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">$36,000<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">30% federal tax credit<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">-$10,800<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">Net system cost<\/td>\n<td style=\"width: 50%;\">$25,200<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p>You can actually increase those savings by opting into PowerPair + EnergyWise Battery Control. In this part of the program, solar and battery owners will allow Duke Energy to remotely control their battery up to 36 times per year, with a minium of 30 events, in exchange for a monthly bill credit, estimated at $30-40 per month.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<gs-injectable background = 'true' border='true' primary_color = '#8b72d3' secondary_color='#f98d7e' utm_campaign = 'get_started_injectable' utm_medium='Duke Energy PowerPair' content_texts = 'true' upper_text='Team up with an' upper_text_span = 'Energy Advisor' lower_text='Design a PowerPair eligible' lower_text_span = 'solar and battery system' get_started_text='Get started' only_community_solar='false'><\/gs-injectable>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h2>Applying for PowerPair<\/h2>\n<p>The PowerPair application window is between May 10 and June 7, 2024.
