Incentives available for North Carolinians looking into solar
If you want to install a solar + battery system
- You are eligible for Duke Energy’s Battery Control Program!
- If you decide to opt in, you’ll have the opportunity to choose between Demand Response or Data-Only. Data-only is available for PowerPair recipients on the RSC/TOU rate. You WILL NOT receive a monthly incentive from Duke Energy if you enroll in Data-Only.
- You are eligible for Duke Energy’s PowerPair Incentive Program (which means up to $9,000 off the cost of your system)
If you want to install solar but no battery
- You can add a battery down the road to be eligible for Battery Control Demand Response, but you’ll miss out on the $9,000 you could get by installing a solar + battery system now.
Incentives available for people who installed solar before Feb 11, 2024 in North Carolina
If you already have solar without a battery
- If you add a battery to an existing solar system, you’ll be eligible for Duke Energy’s Battery Control Program!
- If you choose to opt-in, you will be enrolled in Demand Response (which means you can receive up to $52 each month)
- You are not eligible for Duke Energy’s PowerPair Incentive Program (only new solar + battery systems are eligible)
If you already have solar with a battery
- You are eligible for Duke Energy’s Battery Control Program!
- If you choose to opt-in, you will be enrolled in Demand Response (which means you can receive up to $52 each month)

Incentives available for people who installed solar after Feb 11, 2024 in North Carolina
If you partnered with us
- If you partnered with us for your solar + battery system after Feb 11, 2024, you should be all set to receive the PowerPair Incentive of up to $9,000 and opt into Battery Control (either Demand Response or Data-Only)
If you partnered with another solar company
- If you installed a solar + battery system through another solar provider, we hope they did it right and you’ll be receiving your PowerPair Incentive soon! If the company who installed your solar has gone out of business or you’re experiencing issues with your new system, we’ve got your back!
