When Will Duke Energy’s Solar & Battery Incentives Reach Their Limit?

In This Article

Are you curious about how long Duke Energy's Solar & Battery Incentives will be available? You're not alone! The PowerPair program has been incredibly popular since its launch, and with limited capacity, now is the perfect time to dive in.

Understanding the Timeline

Pinpointing the exact moment when the PowerPair program will reach capacity is challenging. These incentives have seen tremendous demand since their introduction, meaning there’s a limited window to take advantage of them. Our team at Southern Energy Management has developed models to estimate capacity based on the current rate of adoption.

According to our projections, the PowerPair program may reach its capacity within the coming year—but whether that’s in three months or fifteen months is still uncertain. The unpredictability arises from various factors like the rate of new installations and potential changes in policy with an election coming up.

Our Solar Designer, Graham Alexander, playfully warns:

“Don’t call me back in six months expecting the same deal!”

Our Advice

With over 23 years of experience installing solar in North Carolina, we’ve seen both incentives and competitors come and go. One thing that hasn’t changed is our commitment to using our business as a force for good. While there’s a sense of urgency to secure these incentives, we believe in empowering you to make the best decision without pressure.

Factors to Consider:

  • Limited Capacity: The PowerPair program is available to approximately 6,000 to 8,000 homes. Once it’s filled, the incentives will no longer be available.
  • High Demand: Based on previous rebate programs in North Carolina, we anticipate the program could reach capacity quickly.
  • Upcoming Elections: Political changes can introduce unpredictability to future incentives and energy policies.
