Verify first · Orange County
Treat every rebate figure as provisional until you confirm it on the administrator site. For Orange County (SCE delivery with Orange County Power Authority generation (when enrolled)), EnergyScout shows status, amounts when we have verified them, official links, and last-verified dates — nothing more.
Amounts appear only when we have verified them. Confirm on the official page before you buy.
Anaheim Public Utilities (City of Anaheim)
APU residential customers only. Battery of at least 5 kWh, UL-certified and hardwired; APU's page says it must be part of an existing solar system. Requires a time-of-use rate and the MyPower Savings program for 12 months, a final permit sign-off, and receipts dated within a year. First come, first served while funds last.
Orange County Power Authority
OCPA Residential Battery Rebate is no longer accepting new applications. Check ocPower.org for any replacement programs.
SCE
For lower-income households only (income at or below 80% of area median, or enrolled in CARE/FERA/ESA). SCE's equity budget is on a waitlist; new and waitlist applications are accepted through June 30, 2028.
Federal
Per the IRS, the 30% Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D) is not available for property placed in service after December 31, 2025, so homeowner-owned systems installed in 2026 do not qualify. Leased/PPA systems are owned by a business that follows separate tax rules; ask the provider how that affects your price.
OCPA's battery rebate is closed to new applications, so Anaheim's APU rebate and income-qualified SGIP are the main remaining paths. Peak context: SCE TOU evening peak (often 4–9pm). Practical tips: Anaheim homes are served by Anaheim Public Utilities, not SCE: the APU battery rebate applies there, and SCE-only programs do not. OCPA's $1,000 battery rebate is no longer accepting new applications (ocpower.org). SGIP equity incentives are income-qualified and currently waitlisted (Anaheim customers apply through SoCalGas). Utility vs CCA mismatch is a common reason applications fail.

EnergyScout tracks California solar and battery incentive programs from official sources. County pages list programs we have attached for that area, show status, amount, and last-verified date when available, and link to the administrator site. Always re-check the official page before you buy or sign.
EnergyScout helps California homeowners understand solar and battery incentives, see what may apply at their address, and optionally request installer quotes. We are not the utility, community choice provider, or rebate administrator.
