The hardware

Why homeowners ask for Powerwall.

Powerwall 3 stores 13.5 kWh of usable energy and delivers up to 11.5 kW of continuous power per unit — enough to start and run many heavy loads (confirmed for your specific equipment during design) — with an integrated solar inverter and app-based control of backup, self-consumption, and time-based settings. Systems are expandable as your needs grow.†

One app
Monitor and control your whole system from your phone

The rebate

Pair Powerwall with SGIP.

California’s SGIP program can meaningfully offset the cost of a Powerwall for eligible PG&E-area homes — and homes in CPUC high fire-threat districts may qualify for the highest rebate tiers. Bear Solar handles SGIP end to end: we check your tier, apply to reserve your rebate, and file the application for you.

The process

From site survey to switch-on.

Every install starts with an engineering review of your panel, loads, and goals — then we handle design, permits, licensed installation (C-10 Electrical or General “B” as required), inspection, and utility approval. You get a personalized written estimate and California’s required Solar Energy System Disclosure Document before anything is signed.

Powerwall, answered.

How much does a Powerwall installation cost?+

It depends on how many units you need, your electrical panel, and whether you’re pairing it with new solar. SGIP rebates can offset a meaningful share for eligible homes. We give you a personalized written estimate — with your rebate eligibility checked — before you commit to anything.

Can I add Powerwall to my existing solar system?+

Usually, yes — Powerwall can be retrofitted to most existing solar installations regardless of the original installer. We’ll confirm compatibility during the site assessment.

How many Powerwalls do I need?+

Essential-loads backup often works with one; whole-home backup or larger homes may take two or more. We size it from your actual usage data and outage priorities, not a one-size template.

I’m on a municipal utility like SMUD — do the rebates apply to me?+

SGIP is funded by customers of California’s investor-owned utilities (PG&E, SCE, SDG&E), so municipal-utility homes aren’t SGIP-eligible. Municipal customers may have programs or rate options of their own — we’ll walk you through exactly what applies to your address.
