The National Authority on Energy Incentives
The Database of State Incentives for Renewables & Efficiency (DSIRE) is the most comprehensive and authoritative source of information on energy incentives and policies in the United States. It has been maintained by the NC Clean Energy Technology Center at NC State University since 1995 — making it the longest-running database of its kind.
DSIRE tracks every type of incentive across all 50 states: tax credits, rebates, grants, loan programs, net metering policies, interconnection standards, property tax exemptions, and more. It covers 124 specific energy technologies and is updated continuously by a team of policy researchers.
When Smart Main Panel customers want to know what programs apply to their installation, DSIRE is the definitive reference — used by homeowners, contractors, utilities, and policy makers alike.
Established 1995 — Running for 30+ Years
The longest-running and most-cited energy incentive database in the US. Operated continuously since 1995 by NC State University's Clean Energy Technology Center.
2,500+ Programs · 124 Energy Technologies
Covers every type of program — federal, state, local, and utility — across all 50 states and US territories. Filters by zip code and technology type.
80,000 Unique Visitors Per Month
Used by homeowners, contractors, solar installers, utilities, investors, policy makers, and researchers. The go-to reference for anyone navigating clean energy incentives.
Continuously Updated by Policy Researchers
DSIRE staff actively monitor and update program information as rebates launch, change amounts, or expire — so the data is always current and reliable.
8 Components. One Panel. Built to Qualify.
Smart Main Panel isn't just a rebate-eligible upgrade — it's a complete energy command center. It consolidates eight separate electrical components into one streamlined, UL-certified unit, making solar and battery installation easier and energy flow smarter.
Unlike a standard panel swap, SMP integrates metering, solar load center, battery gateway, AC disconnect, and subpanel into a single package — reducing installation complexity, wall clutter, and cost while unlocking every incentive category below.
Available Models
Every Incentive Category Smart Main Panel Enables
A Smart Main Panel installation can unlock multiple incentive categories simultaneously. Here are the eight program types to search for in DSIRE — and what SMP's role is in each.
Federal HEAR / HEEHRA Panel Rebate
SMP qualifies directly as an "Electric Load Service Center" upgrade under the federal Home Electrification and Appliance Rebate program. No ENERGY STAR certification required. Available in active states for income-eligible households.
Federal Solar Investment Tax Credit (ITC)
The 30% federal ITC applies to solar panel installations. SMP integrates solar natively — with a built-in solar load center — making it the ideal companion for a solar project that also claims the ITC. When SMP is added to a solar+battery project, the panel may qualify as part of the system.
State Battery Storage Incentives
Many states offer standalone battery storage rebates or tax credits. SMP includes a built-in battery gateway that simplifies battery integration — enabling homeowners to add storage without extra components. Search "battery storage" in DSIRE for your state.
EV Charging Incentives
State and utility programs offer rebates for Level 2 EV charger installations. SMP's smart load management prevents EV charging from overloading your panel — making it the ideal foundation for a home EV setup that qualifies for EV incentives.
Net Metering Policies
Net metering allows solar homeowners to earn credits for energy exported to the grid. SMP optimizes solar production and energy routing, maximizing the value of net metering credits. DSIRE tracks net metering policies in all 50 states.
Utility Load Management Rebates
Many utilities offer rebates for smart home energy management devices that reduce peak demand. SMP's intelligent circuit control and energy routing can qualify for demand response and load management programs. Check your utility's website alongside DSIRE.
State Property Tax Exemptions
Many states exempt the added home value from renewable energy systems and energy upgrades from property tax. A SMP+solar installation may trigger this exemption in participating states — meaning improved home value with no increase in your tax bill.
State Sales Tax Exemptions
Several states exempt clean energy equipment purchases from state sales tax. This can reduce the upfront cost of Smart Main Panel by 5–10% depending on your state's sales tax rate. Search "sales tax exemption" and "electrical equipment" in DSIRE for your state.
Stack Multiple Incentives on One Project
A Smart Main Panel installation with solar and battery storage can qualify for the federal HEAR panel rebate, the 30% solar ITC, state battery storage incentives, net metering credits, and applicable property and sales tax exemptions — all simultaneously. Our team helps identify every applicable program before your project begins.

The Panel That Makes Every Upgrade Better
Every incentive above is worth more when the home's electrical foundation is built for it. Smart Main Panel is engineered specifically to integrate solar, battery, EV, and smart controls — making each upgrade perform at its best.
Built-in Solar Load Center
SMP includes a dedicated solar load center — no separate box required. Solar installations are cleaner, faster, and less expensive to complete.
Battery Gateway Integrated
Connect Powerwall, Enphase, Franklin, or other battery systems directly — SMP routes power intelligently between solar, battery, and grid.
Smart EV Load Management
SMP manages EV charging dynamically alongside home loads — preventing breaker trips and enabling homes with limited service to add EVs without a service upgrade.
Full App Control
Add Smart Breakers for circuit-level control from your phone — monitor production, schedule automations, and manage energy in real time.
Peak Rate Optimization
SMP optimizes energy flow during peak utility rate periods — automatically shifting loads to off-peak hours to reduce your monthly bill.
3-Year Workmanship Warranty
Every SMP installation is backed by a 3-year workmanship warranty, complemented by manufacturer equipment warranties. We stand behind the work.
