There's no cap on the credit, and it applies to both solar panels and battery storage.

LADWP offers a unique Solar Incentive Program that provides upfront rebates of up to $1.50 per watt on qualifying solar installations. Combined with LADWP's net metering program and the 30% federal tax credit, Los Angeles homeowners can reduce their total system cost by 40-60%.

Depending on your income level and location, Los Angeles homeowners can receive $200-$1,000 per kWh of battery capacity.
