Thanks for the info. Yes, I was specifically talking about the currently available budget for the equity resiliency program. The SGIP site seems to indicate there’s a fair amount of funding available at the moment (though the last tranche in March indeed went pretty quickly from what I understand).At the start of 2020, $675mm extra was approved to up the SGIP pool. However $513mm of the new monies are going into "Equity Resiliency" which is only accessible for homeowners who live in high fire threat zones as or had their power shut off at least twice (like long-duration shutoffs; not just brownouts).
The actual cash from these allocations rolls out in "steps". On July 20 $120mm was allocated out with the vast majority going to the "Equity Resiliency" and "Equity" buckets.
The normal small-scale residential SGIP (2x or fewer Powerwalls) is on Step 5 of 7; and the waitlist is so long it's unlikely new customers today will get the straggler funds on Step 7 of the program.
So yeah, this SGIP thing should be split into 4 sub-categories instead of just calling it SGIP.
SGIP-PSPS has a ton of funds for people whose energy reliability are significantly impacted by wildfires
SGIP-Large-Scale has some funds for people who buy 3x or more Powerwall. But they can't go through Tesla or Sunrun or Vivint; they have to go through local shops who actually put their hat into the ring for the large-scale program
SGIP-Small-Scale-Residential is fools gold now for people who buy 2x or fewer Powerwall
SGIP-Commercial is for who the heck knows
