|---|---|
| Value | $225-$275 per kW enrolled, paid every year |
| Status | Open (verified July 2026) |
| Federal credit | None — 25C/25D expired Dec 31, 2025 (OBBBA) |
How it works
Instead of an upfront rebate, ConnectedSolutions pays an annual performance incentive for letting your utility dispatch your battery during 50-60 summer peak events. A 5kW enrollment earns roughly $1,125-$1,375/year - recurring, not one-time.
Stacking with other programs
Stacks with Mass Save heat pump rebates (up to $8,500 whole-home) for full-electrification projects.
Next step
Size your backup needs first, then compare installed batteries. Get 2–3 installer quotes — the installer files the incentive paperwork.
