New Jersey ratepayers can put that cash toward the purchase and installation of eligible storage systems. For more help with installation costs, PSE&G is also offering up to $25K in interest-free, on-bill repayment. 

The goal: During peak demand, PSE&G said it may harness some of these batteries to power customers’ homes (after notifying them in advance).
