California's Self-Generation Incentive Program (SGIP) pays a rebate to install home battery storage, with much larger equity incentives (about 850 to 1,000 dollars per kilowatt-hour) for low-income customers and those in high-fire-risk or frequently-shut-off areas. You do not apply directly; an approved SGIP installer reserves the incentive and submits the application for you through your utility's program administrator.
