SRP Battery Storage Rebate
$250 per kWh up to $3,600
Salt River Project (SRP) — the Phoenix metro municipal-style utility — offers one of Arizona's most generous battery storage rebates at $250 per kWh of installed capacity, capped at $3,600 per residence. A typical Tesla Powerwall 3 (13.5 kWh) qualifies for the full $3,375. The rebate stacks with the federal 25D credit (30% uncapped) for total battery incentives of approximately $7,500 on a $13,000 install. SRP's rebate is particularly valuable because the SRP E-27 demand-charge tariff penalizes solar-without-storage households — making battery essentially required for reasonable solar economics on SRP territory.
Eligibility
Who qualifies?
SRP residential customers with grid-connected battery storage 3 kWh or larger (federal 25D minimum). SRP rebate may have higher minimum.
Equipment requirements?
Battery must be SRP-approved (Tesla Powerwall, Generac PWRcell, Enphase IQ, LG ESS, FranklinWH, others).
Pre- or post-install?
Pre-install reservation required. SRP allocates funds at reservation; rebate paid after commissioning.
