Kin Battery
Inland Empire · Southern California Edison
When SCE cuts the power, your home keeps running.
Public Safety Power Shutoffs and fire-season outages hit Riverside and San Bernardino hard — and SCE's rates are among the highest in the nation. A Tesla Powerwall keeps your home powered through every outage and banks cheap power to dodge SCE's peak hours. Whole-home backup, lower bills, and grid income — no solar required.

First — are you eligible?
If your bill says Southern California Edison, you're a fit.
Battery backup is open to any SCE homeowner in the Inland Empire — solar or not. If you're income- or fire-zone-eligible, you may also qualify for California's SGIP storage rebate (general-market funding is largely exhausted and waitlisted as of 2026 — we check your eligibility honestly and never promise a rebate that isn't there).

The grid keeps failing you
Shutoffs, heat waves, and rates that won't quit.
SCE de-energizes Inland Empire neighborhoods during fire weather, summer heat strains the grid, and rates climb every year. A battery banks power when it's cheap and runs your home when the grid can't — automatically.
How it protects you
Your home runs on stored power — automatically.
✓Whole-home backup — fridge cold, Wi-Fi up, AC running, through every PSPS and outage
✓Lower bills by storing cheap power and skipping SCE's peak-rate hours
✓~$350/yr per battery in grid income — you set the reserve, opt out anytime (Tesla VPP, estimated)
✓No solar required — it works on its own, and pairs with your panels if you have them

See what your home qualifies for.
Fire season plus SCE's Public Safety Power Shutoffs mean Inland Empire homes can lose power for hours — or days — with little warning. The time to add backup is before the next shutoff, not during it.

Questions, answered.
Do I need solar to get a battery?+
No. A Tesla Powerwall works on its own — it charges from the grid when power is cheap and runs your home during outages and peak-rate hours. If you already have solar, the battery also stores what your panels make so you stop exporting it for pennies under NEM 3.0.
What does it cost per month?+
Most Inland Empire homeowners start with one battery for a low monthly payment, then energy savings and grid income bring the real cost down. Your exact monthly depends on system size and credit — we show every number and confirm against your real SCE bill before anything is signed.
Is there a rebate?+
California's SGIP storage rebate still exists, but general-market funding is largely exhausted and applications are waitlisted as of 2026. Larger rebates (SGIP Equity / Equity Resiliency) can apply if you're income-qualified or in a high-fire-threat district. We check your eligibility honestly — the economics here work on backup value and peak-rate savings, with any rebate as a bonus, not the headline.
How does it back up my home in a shutoff?+
When SCE cuts power, the Powerwall switches over in a fraction of a second — your lights, fridge, Wi-Fi, and outlets keep running on stored energy. Add a second battery for whole-home, multi-day coverage including AC. We size it to exactly what you want to keep on.
What's the grid income?+
Through Tesla's Virtual Power Plant, SCE can draw a little stored power during grid emergencies — you keep a reserve and can opt out. It pays roughly $350/yr per battery (estimated; actual varies by events).
