3CE's new Residential Battery Rebate Program will help homeowners manage energy consumption, lower costs, and take control of their energy future.  FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE / PRURGENT
MARINA, CA, August 14th, 2024 – Scudder Solar, Monterey County’s leading solar energy provider, applauds Central Coast Community Energy (3CE) for launching its Residential Battery Rebate Program. This initiative offers substantial rebates to 3CE customers for eligible battery storage systems and empowers homeowners to take control of their energy security.
"3CE's new program is a game-changer for Central Coast residents," said Jennifer Scudder, President and CEO of Scudder Solar. "Beyond saving money, these battery systems provide crucial backup power during emergencies, giving homeowners peace of mind and energy independence."
Home battery systems offer a range of vital benefits for homeowners: Reliable backup power during unexpected outages, severe storms, and wildfire threats; protection against scheduled blackouts and other grid failures, giving residents uninterrupted access to electricity; the ability to reduce reliance on the traditional grid and power essential home systems when the grid is down.
The 3CE Residential Battery Rebate Program offers:
- Standard rebate of $300 per kilowatt hour (kWh) of storage capacity
- Higher rebate of $500 per kWh for CARE, FERA, and Medical Baseline customers
- Eligibility for all residential 3CE customers, with or without existing solar systems
- Anticipated deployment of 400 battery systems per fiscal year
"In these times of increasing climate-related challenges, having a reliable home battery isn't just about savings—it's about safety and security," Jennifer Scudder emphasized. "When the grid goes down, your lights stay on, your food stays cold, and your critical medical devices keep running. That's real peace of mind."
Scudder Solar is prepared to assist customers in taking full advantage of this program. Our team of experts can guide homeowners through selecting and installing the right battery system and ensuring they maximize their rebate benefits and their home's energy resilience.
