In short
- Burbank moved new solar to Solar Net Billing on Jan 1, 2026: exports are credited at BWP's avoided cost of energy at the time, worth more on summer peak hours. Credits carry forward.
- Existing net-metering customers keep it until Jan 1, 2046.
- Battery rebate: $275 per kWh, or $530 per kWh for customers who can't use the federal tax incentive, up to 100 kWh ($27,500). The battery must be paired with solar, discharge at least 80% daily from 4–7 p.m., and stay installed 10 years. Apply within 6 months of installation.
