It also provides backup power during California&#8217;s frequent power outages and allows solar owners to store and use their own clean energy instead of pulling dirty electricity from the grid. Home battery storage also makes the electrical grid more resilient and has even <a href=\"https:\/\/www.solarpowerworldonline.com\/2022\/09\/customer-sited-solar-batteries-340-mw-peak-power-one-day-california\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">helped\u00a0<em>prevent\u00a0<\/em>power outages.<\/a><\/p>\n<p>So, it makes sense that the CPUC would encourage homeowners to install battery storage through SGIP rebates.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The 3 Main Benefits of Battery Storage in California (With NEM 3.0 Tips)\" width=\"1080\" height=\"608\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/SaauSHvAkVs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe><\/p>\n<h2><\/h2>\n<h2>SGIP Programs for Residential Solar &amp; Batteries<a id=\"amounts\"><\/a><\/h2>\n<p>SGIP includes several programs.
