Understanding Duke Energy’s New Solar Incentive Program

The PowerPair program has two major components that allow you to save money on your solar and battery backup investment. These two incentives can combine for a total of $9,000 off of your install, so let’s explore what they are, and how they work.

You may be eligabe to receive Incentives from Duke to help cover the cost of your equipment:

  • For solar panels, it's $0.36 per watt, up to 10 kW, which means a maximum of $3,600 per home.

  • For battery storage, it's $400 per kilowatt-hour, up to 13.5 kWh, which means up to $5,400 per home.

NOTE: If your system sends excess power back to the grid, it should not exceed 20 kW at any point.

All Duke PowerPair clients will have 2 options for participation:

  • Residential Solar Choice Rider (PowerPair)

  • Net Metering Bridge Rider (PowerPair + EnergyWise Home/ Power Manager Battery Control)

Solar incentive programs often fill up fast. The Duke Energy PowerPair program is on a first come first serve basis until the capacity is filled. So we recommend that you fill out the form below to get started on your journey to clean energy savings today!
