SGIP
SGIP, in plain English.
SGIP is the Self-Generation Incentive Program, a California incentive for home battery storage. Westhaven Power designs Tesla Powerwall and Enphase battery systems across Northern California, and when we share your options we show you where SGIP could fit your project.
The program
What is SGIP?
The Self-Generation Incentive Program is a California incentive that puts money toward home battery storage. Exactly how the program is administered and where a PG&E customer applies belongs with the flagged specifics below rather than a state office.
What the program pays, who gets priority, and how much funding remains are moving targets. Figures published on solar websites go stale, so this page explains how the program works and keeps the numbers where they belong: verified fresh, for your specific project.
Who it's for
Who can SGIP help?
Homeowners adding battery storage. The program exists to get more California homes storing their own power, and it has paid different amounts to different categories of households, with the categories themselves revised over time.
If you are considering a Tesla Powerwall or Enphase battery anywhere in our Northern California service area, SGIP is worth checking before you decide. It can change the math on a project, and the only version of it that matters is the one in effect when you apply.
Where it fits
How does Westhaven handle SGIP in your options?
Incentives are part of the math, not the pitch. When we share your options, the numbers are built for your home and checked against the program as it stands, so you decide with real figures instead of brochure figures.
Westhaven Power installs Tesla Powerwall and Enphase home battery systems across Northern California, with more than 10,000 installations completed by in-house crews in 15+ years.

What does SGIP stand for?
The Self-Generation Incentive Program. It is a California incentive program for home battery storage. How the current program works for your home is exactly what we walk through in your options.
How much is the SGIP incentive worth?
The honest answer: it changes. Funding levels, rebate tiers, and priority categories all get revised, and funding steps fill up. Verify the current program status before you count on a figure, and ask us to walk you through where it fits your project.
Can I add a battery to solar I already have?
Yes. We design Tesla Powerwall and Enphase batteries for homes adding storage to an existing system as well as homes going solar and battery at once, and our service crew works on systems we did not install.
Which batteries does Westhaven install?
Tesla Powerwall and Enphase. We design around your home and the outages you actually face, our own in-house crews handle the installation, and Power Guard monitoring watches every system we install 24/7.
