Green Mountain Power customers who install a qualifying battery alongside (or without) solar can receive an upfront rebate of up to $10,500. In exchange, GMP can call on the battery during peak grid events, which is how the utility funds the rebate.
Demand is high: as of 2026 the GMP Powerwall lease waitlist exceeds 1,200 people, so plan for a wait.
Why batteries make sense in Vermont
Beyond the rebate, batteries provide outage resilience during winter storms and let you store your own solar generation. Direct bill savings depend on rate structure, but the resilience value is real for many rural Vermont homes.
