Sacramento SMUD Battery Rebate Can Pay Up to $10,000 for Home Storage

Sacramento homeowners in SMUD territory may be able to claim up to $10,000 for a qualifying home battery while program funding lasts.

What the program offers

SMUD's My Energy Optimizer Partner+ program offers a home battery storage rebate for eligible Sacramento Municipal Utility District customers.

The reported rebate is $500 per kWh of qualifying battery capacity, up to $10,000 per household.

The rebate can help homeowners add storage for rooftop solar, shift power use away from higher-cost evening hours, and keep backup power available during outages.

Who may qualify

The program is for homeowners in SMUD service territory. Eligibility depends on the battery, installer, and current SMUD program rules.

SMUD customers generally cannot use California's statewide SGIP battery incentive because SMUD is a municipal utility with its own program.

How to apply

Funding is available while the program budget lasts, so homeowners should confirm the current rebate before signing a contract.

Start by checking SMUD's My Energy Optimizer Partner+ requirements, then work with a qualified installer who can confirm the battery size and expected rebate.

Homeowners should ask for the rebate amount in writing and make sure any quote reflects 2026 rules, not expired federal tax credits.
