Questions, answered.

How big is the rebate?+

Up to $300 per kWh of battery capacity — about $4,050 per Tesla Powerwall (13.5 kWh), ~$8,100 on two. It's a distributed-generation storage rebate established under Illinois law. Rate and availability are subject to program rules and funding.

Do I need solar?+

No — the battery storage rebate stands on its own. Pair it with solar and you also earn Illinois Shines SREC value on top.

What's the catch?+

Two, both honest: to get the storage rebate, ComEd customers must enroll in Hourly Pricing and Ameren customers in Peak Time Rewards. And taking the DG rebate moves you to supply-only net metering — which for new installs is generally no real change.

When does it open?+

Applications are expected to open mid-2026 and funds are limited and first-come — getting in line now is how you lock your spot. We'll confirm the live program details before anything is signed.
