What is SGIP?

See if you qualify

The Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) is managed by the California Public Utilities Commission (CPUC). SGIP provides financial incentives to homeowners to install renewable energy technologies like solar and battery systems.

The state set up SGIP to support clean, reliable energy solutions for homes and businesses, and to improve grid reliability. Through SGIP, you may qualify for low-cost or even no-cost solar and battery storage.

The simplest way to see if qualify for SGIP is to visit havenenergy.com/qualify. Answer a few questions and a Haven Energy Advisor will contact you with next steps.

SGIP has different types of rebates, depending on your qualifications:

Equity Resiliency (ER)
The Equity Resiliency rebate provides qualifying homeowners in California with a free battery system. You do not need to have solar panels already installed. To qualify, you must meet the following requirements:

You must live in a Tier 2 or Tier 3 high fire risk area OR have experienced a certain number of public scheduled power shutoffs (PSPS) AND
Your annual income must be below a certain limit (based on county and household size) OR you must be enrolled in your utility's medical baseline program

We know, it's a little complicated. The good news is that we have an amazing team of Energy Advisors to help check (and double-check) that you meet the program requirements. Learn more by visiting havenenergy.com/qualify

Residential Solar and Storage Equity (RSSE)
The RSSE rebate provides income-qualifying homeowners in California with a free solar and battery system (or standalone battery). The RSSE rebate has been almost fully reserved and we're now submitting applications to the state's waitlist.

Haven can help you qualify and apply for all kinds of incentive programs for solar and battery systems, within and outside of California. Learn more by visiting havenenergy.com
