Why pay full price when  you don't have to

Investing in Energy Storage has never been better. Not only do our systems provide enhanced resilience and sustainability but they also qualify for federal and state incentives that can drastically reduce your upfront costs.

Navigating Incentives?  We've got the map and compass!

Our team is here to guide you through every step of the process, helping you maximize all available financial benefits.

 

30% Federal Tax Credit

Most battery energy storage projects qualify for a substantial 30% tax credit under the Inflation Reduction Act.  This incentive alone significantly reduces the initial investment required.

Additional, stackable incentives

  • Domestic Content Adder

    Projects utilizing U.S. -manufactured components may qualify for an additional 10% credit.

  • Energy Communities Adder

    If your project is located in designated "energy communities," you could benefit from another 10% credit.

  • Low-Income Community Adder

    Certain low-income areas are eligible for an additional 10% tax credit.

 

Direct Pay Option for Non-Profits and Public Entities:

Eligible organizations can opt for a direct payment from the IRS instead of waiting to claim the credit, accelerating the benefit realization.

Accelerated Depreciation:

Take advantage of accelerated depreciation schedules to further reduce your tax liabilities in the early years, improving your Net Present Value (NPV) and shortening the payback period.

  • California

    Benefit from state-level incentives designed to promote energy storage adoption.

  • New England

    States like New York, Connecticut, Massachusetts, Maryland and Rhode Island offer robust programs to support energy storage investments.

  • Illinois

    Take advantage of Illinois' energy initiatives aimed at enhanced grid resilience and sustainability.

 

 

Case Study: Chicago Project

A recent project in Chicago highlights the power of these incentives:

  • GRIP Program: This program offered a 50% rebate on the project cost
  • Com-Ed Program: An additional 25% rebate was secured through Com-Ed's energy storage program.
  • Total Savings: Combined, these incentives covered 75% of the project cost, leaving the client to pay just 25%.  Plus, they were eligible for the 30% federal tax credit on the remaining balance, effectively covering the full cost of the project.
Disclaimer: Rebate amounts and eligibility criteria can vary by location and project. Consult with our team to explore how these incentives can work for your specific project.
