The North Carolina Utilities Commission approved Duke Energy’s Power Pair program, which provides financial incentives for customers to add rooftop solar and battery storage to their homes if they sign up to help provide the company data about their energy usage and cost savings. The incentive provides $0.36/watt for solar panels up to a max capacity of 10kW and capped at $3,600 and $400/kWh for battery storage, limited to a maximum capacity of 13.5 kWh. The program would accept a limited number of participants each year and they would be split into two cohorts, based on different net-metering rules, which allow customers to sell power to Duke Energy’s grid.
