Medical Baseline + Fire Zone Path

Built to protect your critical power

For qualified homes, SGIP Equity Resiliency can cover most—sometimes nearly all—of a Tesla home battery system, subject to funding and final program approval.

Protect Medical Devices Keep essentials like oxygen machines, CPAPs, and refrigerators powered during shutoffs.

Back Up Key Circuits Lights, outlets, internet and critical loads can stay on when the grid goes down.

Little to No Up-Front High-tier incentives may cover most of the system if you fully qualify.

About SGIP Home Battery Rebates

California’s Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) offers upfront rebates that can dramatically reduce the cost of a Tesla home battery—especially for Medical Baseline households in high fire-threat or PSPS-prone areas.

Upfront rebates applied to your project so you see the net cost before you decide.
Extra-strong incentives for Medical Baseline + fire zone / PSPS homes.
We size your Tesla battery and handle all SGIP paperwork end-to-end.

Takes ~60 seconds. No credit check for this review.

See if you’re likely eligible before you apply

SGIP focuses on households with higher resilience needs—like Medical Baseline and fire-zone homes— plus income-based programs such as CARE and FERA.

Medical Baseline & Fire Zone (Equity Resiliency)

Someone in your home is on Medical Baseline or uses power-dependent medical equipment.
You live in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 high fire-threat area or have had multiple PSPS / wildfire shutoffs.
Often eligible for the highest SGIP incentive tier for home batteries like Tesla Powerwall.

This is the strongest path for little-to-no out-of-pocket on a home battery, subject to funding and final approval.

Income-Based & Other Paths (CARE/FERA & more)

Current or potential enrollment in CARE/FERA or similar income-qualified programs.
High utility rates or frequent outages in PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, and participating munis/POUs.
Critical loads such as a well pump, home office, or essential appliances you want backed up.

Even without Medical Baseline, many homes still qualify for meaningful SGIP rebates on battery storage.

How the SGIP home battery rebate works

A quick online check, a short design call, then we confirm your SGIP path, incentive level, and what a Tesla home battery could cost you after rebates.

60-second eligibility check

Share your ZIP, utility, and whether anyone is on Medical Baseline, lives in a fire-threat / PSPS area, or qualifies for CARE/FERA. We use this to see if you may fit the high-value Equity Resiliency path.

15-min design & protection plan

On a quick call, we right-size a Tesla home battery (with or without solar), map critical loads like medical equipment or well pump, and show clear before-and-after SGIP pricing.

Confirm rebate & schedule install

We finalize your SGIP paperwork, confirm your incentive amount and net cost, then schedule installation so you’re ready for the next outage or PSPS event.

Medical Baseline, CARE/FERA & resiliency proof

Recent utility bill showing Medical Baseline, CARE or FERA enrollment (if applicable).
At least one qualifying factor for Equity Resiliency, such as:
- Home in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 high fire-threat area or PSPS / wildfire shutoff history
- Medical Baseline / power-dependent medical equipment in the home
- Critical loads such as an electric well pump

Don’t worry if you’re missing something—upload what you have and we’ll guide you on exactly what’s needed for your SGIP application.

Home battery project scope

If eligible, your project can include a Tesla home battery (with or without new solar) under SGIP.
We’ll right-size backup for essentials: medical devices, lights, internet, fridge, and critical circuits.
We handle SGIP application, reservation, and documentation so you know your net cost before you decide.

Coverage depends on SGIP rules, available funding, your utility area, and site conditions.

On CARE/FERA? You may qualify for solar + battery with little to no out-of-pocket

California’s updated SGIP includes the Residential Solar & Storage Equity budget designed for income-qualified households. If you’re enrolled in CARE or FERA, you may be eligible for incentives that can cover most or all of a paired solar + home battery project—subject to funding and site review.

If you’re also in a High Fire-Threat / PSPS area or have Medical Baseline, you may qualify for even higher Equity Resiliency incentives for Tesla-style home batteries.

Available in PG&E, SCE, SDG&E, and many POUs/munis

SGIP or $0-down lease — which is right for you?

If you’re on Medical Baseline, in a fire-threat / PSPS area, or on CARE/FERA, SGIP can sometimes fund most or even nearly 100% of a Tesla home battery (with or without new solar). Not eligible or need backup sooner? A $0-down lease offers predictable payments with monitoring & maintenance bundled in.

SGIP (Rebate)

$0-Down Lease

Upfront cost

For strong SGIP paths (e.g. Medical Baseline + fire-zone / PSPS + CARE/FERA), incentives can reduce costs to very low or potentially $0 out-of-pocket. Other paths still get a rebate that lowers the price.

$0-down enrollment with one predictable monthly payment instead of a large purchase.

What’s covered

Equity Resiliency Often designed to cover a home battery system (frequently Tesla Powerwall) and, in some cases, paired solar, subject to program rules and approval.
Other SGIP budgets still offer strong incentives focused on battery storage.

Battery system only, installed and maintained by the provider; monitoring & repairs included under the lease.

Ownership & service

You own the equipment and benefit from long-term bill savings; manufacturer warranties and any service are your responsibility (we help with documentation).

Provider owns the equipment; service, monitoring, and many repairs are bundled into the lease so you’re not handling upkeep.

Timeline

Depends on SGIP budget availability, documentation, and application steps. We work to secure your rebate reservation before installation.

Often faster to schedule once you’re approved for the lease; simpler approval path in many cases.

Best for

Households that:

Have Medical Baseline and/or CARE/FERA
Live in a high fire-threat / PSPS area or have outage history
Want to maximize rebates and long-term ownership value

Homeowners who:

Want no large up-front purchase
Prefer a simple, predictable monthly payment
Like the idea of bundled monitoring & maintenance
