What rebates apply to a customer in San Jose on PG&E?
For a residential customer in San Jose on PG&E, the incentive stack is:
1. Federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (ITC) — 30% of the total system cost, including battery, claimed on the homeowner's taxes. Runs through 2032.
2. CA SGIP — California's Self-Generation Incentive Program pays a per-kWh rebate on battery storage (higher in fire-risk and equity areas).
3. NEM 3.0 (Net Billing Tariff) — applies to all PG&E systems interconnected after April 2023. Export credits are at avoided cost (~75% lower than NEM 2.0), so recommend a battery to self-consume more production.
There is no separate PG&E or City of San Jose cash rebate currently active.
