Despite the expiration of federal tax credits for home solar and electric vehicles, home battery energy storage installations in the US have continued to grow, driven by high utility costs and state incentives, notably in California and Hawaii. Meanwhile, federal incentives for large-scale utility battery storage remain active, fueling rapid growth in that segment.

This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

Home battery makers should target states with high electricity prices and storage incentives to accelerate sales despite losing federal tax credits. The shift away from solar credits to utility-scale battery support opens new markets but signals tighter consumer subsidy constraints.
