Federal Government Incentives:

A 30% federal income tax credit is available to qualified homeowners who install a solar energy system by December 31, 2032.

That tax credit is reduced to 26% for systems installed in 2033, then 22% in 2034, and finally to zero after that.

State of California Incentives:

The CA Self Generated Incentive Program (SGIP) provides rebates for solar energy storage systems, including the Tesla Powerwall.

SGIP rebates can cover between 25 to 100% of the system and installation costs.

SGIP rebates are limited in availability and must meet specified qualifications.

Note: The SGIP program may not allow you to take the federal tax credit on the full system cost and the rebate. SGIP credits will lower your federal solar tax credit. Consult your tax advisor.
