Vermont homeowners across 199 towns are served by 10 electric utilities, with residential rates ranging from 19.2¢ to 30.0¢ per kWh. Pairing rooftop solar with battery storage maximizes self-consumption and provides backup power during outages — Vermont homes experience an average of 14 outage hours per year.
A typical solar+battery system combines an 8kW solar array ($24,000-$30,000) with a 10-13.5 kWh battery ($12,000-$18,000). While Vermont does not have a statewide battery rebate, many utilities offer their own solar and battery incentives. The federal residential ITC (Section 25D) expired December 31, 2025, so state and utility programs are now the primary incentives for homeowner purchases.
Vermont participates in demand response programs that pay battery owners for peak shaving. At $850/year, a typical 5kW battery earns approximately $850/year in passive income, significantly improving the economics of battery storage.
