The offer, in plain English
What is the SMUD $6,000 battery incentive?
SMUD’s My Energy Optimizer Partner+ program rewards Sacramento-area homeowners who add a battery to their home. In exchange for letting SMUD draw on your battery during peak-demand events, you receive a one-time enrollment incentive of up to $6,000 — and you keep full backup power during outages. Aztec Solar makes sure you’re set up correctly and enrolled on time.
Up to $6,000, one time
A single enrollment incentive paid to new battery storage customers.
Enroll within 90 days of PTO
The clock starts when SMUD grants Permission to Operate. We handle the timing.
