Is California's SGIP incentive only available to contractors, or can self-installers qualify and apply for the incentive? I'm having trouble figuring the distinction out from the various SGIP sites and documents.

On other forums, I have seen people mention that they were going to try to apply on their own. It is worth pursuing until you find out for sure. I know some installers have reached their cap and there were different funding tranches, some of which may have also reached their cap. What I do know is that each IOU is in charge of administering the grants so the answer may be specific to your POCO.9 kW solar, 42kWh LFP storage. EV owner since 2012 -
I did continue digging, and I couldn't find anything that said you couldn't self-install. Just that you had to be a registered developer. So I looked at how to become a registered developer, and there is specific mention of self-installers registering to be their own developer, so I guess it is possible - if not a bit cumbersome.Comment

Yes, now that you mention it that was the complicated part, but go for it and let us know how it goes.9 kW solar, 42kWh LFP storage. EV owner since 2012Comment

I will. I recently found the potential for a PSPS related bump to the system (still haven't found a clear list of requirements for it), which greatly increases the incentive if you are the 'victim' of numerous PSPS events - which I am. Hard to pass up how crazy high the incentive is, especially since I did my recent solar install with the intention of adding storage at a later date anyway.Last edited by CraziFuzzy; 01-28-2022, 01:26 AM.Comment
