- Building operators are most commonly using the 48E investment tax credit to install battery storage systems, according to an executive at tax-credit consulting firm Alliant
- Battery storage systems funded through the 48E credit allow operators to leverage lower-cost electricity rates, per the Alliant executive
Why it matters: For building operators, the 48E credit's most common payoff is battery storage that captures rate arbitrage — buying power when it's cheap and using or selling it when rates spike. That makes storage the dominant use case for how facilities are monetizing the tax credit.
