Are there any requirements to participate in SGIP?
California's SGIP program provides no-cost solar + battery systems to qualifying homeowners. Participating in a demand response is a key requirement.
If you receive a system through California's SGIP program, there is a requirement to participate in a demand response program. This simply means that your battery will provide energy to the grid during times of peak demand. This is the main reason the state is funding solar and battery systems, to help stabilize the grid when it's particularly stressed.
