Duke Energy Incentives in South Carolina
Leverage incentives to reduce your cost to acquire backup power.
Fortress Power VPP programs in South Carolina are powered by Duke Energy


Duke Energy’s incentive programs offer financial benefits to South Carolina homeowners who install battery storage systems—with or without solar panels. These incentives can significantly reduce the cost of adding a Fortress Power battery to your home. These programs aim to promote renewable energy adoption and enhance grid reliability by using clean, reenable energy stored in battery systems instead of traditional power plants.
Receive monthly bill credits with Duke Energy’s battery control programs, Power Manager in Duke Energy Carolinas and EnergyWise® in Duke Energy Progress. Power Manager and EnergyWise® offer the same bill credits.
By integrating solar and battery systems, participants can reduce their reliance on the grid, lower energy bills, and contribute to a more sustainable energy future. The program not only supports individual energy independence but also aids in stabilizing the broader electrical grid by managing demand and supply more effectively. Not to mention, Fortress Power systems offer the highest annual potential bill credit in the entire program.
¿Cómo participar?
Contact Fortress Power for installer recommendations.
All Fortress Power residential batteries are on the Eligible Battery List, and must be paired with a Fortress Power inverter and the Guardian Gateway to remit information back to Duke Energy.
Either you or your Trade Ally installer can enroll via the Fortress Power website.
Once your system is operational and all eligibility requirements have been verified, Duke Energy will issue monthly credits that will start within two bill cycles of enrollment. Any energy exported will also receive net metering credits.
Combine that with the corresponding Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC) to maximize your savings!
Beneficios del programa
Performance incentives are paid via a monthly bill credit based on battery power rating. Fortress Power systems offer the highest annual potential bill credit in the entire program.
For example, select an eForce 19.2 to collect $55 per month.
Extra batteries can be added but the incentives are capped by the residential Interconnection limit of 20 kW.
También puede optar a un crédito fiscal federal a la inversión (ITC). Consulte con un asesor fiscal los requisitos de elegibilidad.
A diferencia de los generadores que funcionan con combustibles fósiles, las baterías son una opción más limpia y silenciosa para alimentar tu casa durante un apagón.
