San Mateo County solar & battery incentives
If your San Mateo County rates spike during PG&E peak roughly 4–9pm, a battery can shift solar or off-peak energy into expensive hours while keeping backup power. Under PG&E delivery with Peninsula Clean Energy generation (when enrolled), start with verified local programs — not generic statewide claims.

Federal Residential Clean Energy Credit (25D) — ended
Federal

- Last verified
- 2026-10-07
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.

Peninsula Clean Energy covers most of San Mateo County on PG&E delivery. Tips for this area: Confirm PCE vs PG&E generation labels on the bill. Local CCA focus has historically leaned EV — battery offerings still need official verification. PG&E SGIP RSSE may apply for income-qualified households.
