Pretty sure I won't be getting a 1099 since when I looked at the Incentive Claim Form for the SCE SGIP rebate, the contractor had marked our tax status as Exempt.

I don't want to pay taxes on it, nor do I expect to due to the IRS code I dug up and quoted. I was just curious whether anyone had actually received a 1099-G for their Powerwalls from their local utility for the rebate/subsidy. It was more wanting to avoid a 'please explain' audit letter at some...

We were able to get a couple of Powerwall 2s installed last year under Edison's 'Equity Resilience' program for homes that are in high fire zones and have been through the dreaded public safety power shutoffs during high wind/low humidity events. After installation, Edison paid out $26,400...

Understood, but it was the homeowner who made the decision to install the batteries, not Tesla or Edison (although it was Edison that forced the homeowner into making the decision since they can't keep the power on in the first place)....

We have two Powerwalls. Even though the Tesla Home Gateway acts like an isolation switch to ensure that the batteries don't back feed into the grid, there is a momentary transition where a small amount of battery energy can escape to the grid when the transition is made from grid to battery and...

We have 2 Powerwalls which back up 10 circuits in our home, excluding the 3.5ton Ruud package a/c unit. Each day, the batteries will run the entire home, including the a/c, between 4-9pm. On really hot 100 degree days, the batteries might get down to 40% remaining with the thermostat set at 78...

The only way it made sense for us was due to the batteries being subsidized by our local energy provider (Southern California Edison) due to their forced power outages during high winds. The California Public Utility Comission dumped about $680m into an 'Equity Resilience' fund for Edison, PG&E...

Our developer submitted the PTO application for our grid charged Tesla batteries to SCE in early August (at least according to them). A couple of weeks later, I was asked by the Developer to provide a copy of our homeowner's insurance policy. In the second week of October, SCE's insurance...

Another update. We signed the SCE Interconnection Agreement in late September. 2-3 weeks later in mid October, we got a request from Edison's Insurance Tracking Services (ITS) to add Edison as an additional named insured to the liability coverage on our home owners insurance policy. We did this...

I think you need to research SCE's Grid Interconnection Processing Tool (GIPT) application system so you can see if you can file their Form 14-732 online. https://gridinterconnection.sce.com/prweb/app/default/JwjzxWBsk0gJoubYmkBqgUAL94hRcnV1*/!STANDARD?AppName=GIPT I just had a couple of Tesla...

Quick update on the PTO progress for our grid-charged Tesla backup batteries. The contractor reached out about 2 weeks after they claimed to have submitted the PTO application to confirm the SCE account number for our account. Just over a month later, I got a Docusign of the Interconnection...

After being told that they submitted my PTO application to Edison on Aug 9th, I got an email from the installer on Aug 23rd asking me for my 'new' SCE account number. The original paperwork had been submitted to Edison last year when there were two different account numbers on my Edison bill -...

It takes Edison about a month to change your plan. We changed ours back in February when the batteries were originally scheduled to be delivered so we ate the Peak rate energy costs for 5 months until the Tesla batteries were installed. Since we have batteries, we went onto SCE's TOU D-Prime and...

When our installer submitted the Reservation Request Form for the SGIP incentive in August last year, we received an automated email from Edison's email system confirming receipt of the RRF form copied to the installer and myself as the homeowner. When the installer submits a PTO application to...

When the installer submitted the SGIP application on our behalf back in August last year, they listed the storage capacity of both batteries as 26.4KWh (13.2KWh/battery). So basically SCE's SGIP rebate is $1,000/KWh or $26,400 when the rebate should be $27,000. Yet another feather in the cap of...
