California wants the sun to power homes day and night.

With a measure signed by Gov. Jerry Brown, the state has made a new commitment of $800 million for clean-energy technologies including home storage. The goal is to capture electricity generated by solar panels during daylight hours to help keep the lights on after the sun goes down.

The funds increase the state incentives set aside for energy storage to more than $1 billion. The rebate money can be used for residential and commercial systems, including for schools, farms and businesses.

“We want to make sure that everyone who has rooftop solar also has an energy storage system,” said State Senator Scott Wiener, a San Francisco Democrat who sponsored the bill. “Once you have a rebate program that the industry knows is table for a number of years, the industry will invest and innovate.”
