How this stacks with other programs
Utility programs typically stack with utility, regional (air district), state, and city/county programs on the same project. The general California stacking rules:
- Federal §30C tax credit: stacks with state, utility, regional, and local cash rebates without offset. Stacks with federal grants only with basis offset (federal grant amount reduces §30C basis).
- Federal grants (CFI, REAP, NEVI): not stackable with other federal grants on the same port.
- State + utility + regional + local: generally full stack across tiers. Same-tier programs serving the same port don't double-fund.
For the full stacking matrix, see the homepage stacking section.
