There is GREAT NEWS from the folks at Duke Energy – North Carolina!!
The 2024 Duke Energy PowerPair Incentive was established in response to a requirement from the North Carolina Utilities Commission (NCUC). This program was designed to test how distributed solar and battery storage helps stabilize North Carolina’s power grid while reducing the need for peak power plant capacity. The program was approved January 11, 2024, but all of North Carolina is still waiting to receive several details, including the enrollment window and more. The PowerPair Incentive offers North Carolina customers a powerful incentive to adopt solar + battery storage with cash incentives up to $9000. Renu Energy Solutions is excited to provide the following details:
This unprecedented program is available to residential customers who install new solar panels and a battery storage system. The customer must own the premises and could own or lease the installed equipment.
2024 Duke Energy PowerPair Incentive Timeline
January: The Duke Energy NC PowerPair Incentive Program is approved by the NCUC.
February: Duke Energy deadline to file tariffs outlining the application process.
March: Deadline for NCUC to provide comments.
May: PowerPair application process expects to go live!
Participants would receive monetary incentives from Duke to offset the cost of installed equipment*:
- Solar Incentive: $0.36/watt for solar panels to a maximum of 10 kW; capped at $3,600/residence
- Battery Incentive: $400/kWh for battery storage to a maximum of 13.5 kWh = up to $5400
*System’s export to the grid could not exceed 20 kW at any time.
What Else You Need to Know About this Incentive
Participants would be required to select net energy metering (NEM) as their electric tariff and be divided into two cohorts:
- Cohort A: served under the time-of-use (TOU) rates and would have complete control of the use of the energy storage device.
- Cohort B: served under the Bridge Rate and Duke Energy, or a third party, would have control over the battery storage device.
They are also required to participate in a new demand response program called Battery Control*.
*Under Battery Control, the customers’ battery could be controlled by Duke up to 18 times per winter season (Dec-Mar). Additionally up to 9 times per summer (May-Sep) and up to 9 times in the remaining months. A minimum of 30/year, maximum 36/year (referred to as Control Events**).
**A Control Event is defined as the initiation of a signal to control the battery and, within 48 hours later, a discharging of the battery by Duke. Duke will not discharge the battery below a 20% state of charge, but would reserve the right to call interruptions outside of the above parameters in the event that the utility’s continuity of service was in jeopardy.
In Conclusion – from Renu Energy Solutions
This is a fantastic opportunity for North Carolina homeowners who have Duke Energy (DEP and DEC) to save up to $9000 on their solar + battery storage system. Furthermore, there is the potential to receive additional monthly discounts. But please note: at the time of this press release, THE PROGRAM HAS NOT BEEN RELEASED!! Renu Energy Solutions prides itself in educating and advising our clients when we are certain the information is accurate and truthful. If you have been told by other solar companies that they can hold your spot, or that you qualify for the rebates right now, it’s simply NOT TRUE. We encourage you to CLICK HERE and visit the Duke Energy Rebate portal. If it’s not listed, it’s not live!

Energy Storage Solutions For The Home
Most of us understand the feeling of losing power during a rough storm or grid outage. Panic begins to set. We worry about the food we just bought at the store, the appliances we have running, the battery level on our devices, and even medical equipment that loved ones depend on. Many homeowners tend to brace themselves for potential outages that come with weather events. With energy storage solutions for the home, homeowners can be at ease knowing there is backup power ready for when they need it most.
Besides energy security, homeowners investing in energy storage solutions also have the ability to manage how their energy is used. When an energy storage unit is paired with a solar energy system, homeowners can store clean energy and decide how it gets used. With time of day energy usage as the new norm for utility rate prices, homeowners can avoid pulling from the grid during peak hours by using energy that was saved at previous times.
A Close Look At LG ESS Home 8
The LG ESS Home 8 is LG Electronics’ newest solution for energy storage and energy management. This energy storage system can be installed without the need of a solar energy system, but pairing the unit with solar allows for homeowners to save clean energy produced by solar. A capacity of 14.4 kWh gives homeowners 1-2 days of power if they are fully relying on battery back up.
Along with a peace of mind, homeowners can link their LG appliances and LG ESS Home 8 with the LG ThinQ App. With the ThinQ App, homeowners have access to their appliances and battery backup in the palm of their hands. Besides being able to check on laundry cycles and oven temperatures, off-grid mode can be enabled in the app during the case of an outage, which allows homeowners to take control of their power.
Energy Storage Installation With Renu Energy Solutions
Renu Energy Solutions has a fantastic partnership with LG. We have access to LG ESS Home 8 batteries, meaning we can order the battery so you don’t have to. LG trusts our team of licensed electricians and rooftop technicians to install battery backup whether it’s paired with a solar energy system or hooked up directly to the grid. Either way, Renu Energy Solutions is your hometown option for energy storage solutions in the Carolinas.
