For those keeping score from home, The Self Generation Incentive Program, in March was funded for the state of California to the tune of $100MM. Within a few weeks the funds were depleted. Well after checking in on the program again, the program has been refreshed recently with $513MM. This program basically called the Equity Resilience and Residential Storage Resilience program, provides rebates to home owners who qualify by having their home in Fire Zone 2 or 3 area, having a well, medical device, and at least 2 power outages within the last 12-24 months. The program basically will rebates the full cost of a partial or full house back up of your Home, with storage batteries. They can be retrofitted on an existing solar system or delivered as part of a new solar system, this is in addition to the 26% Federal Tax Incentive, so for a few this is going to be a great opportunity to achieve Grid Independence. The program is slated to open next week, at which time homeowners can work with their Solar Provider of choice to secure this rebate.

That is correct, however a number of homes on Turquoise Drive in Hercules do qualify. However a great deal more are in Pinole and Martinez, also many people in Rodeo qualifies as well because of the Equity Resiliency aspect of the program.
If the shaded areas represent the location of the worst fire danger, it looks like most homes in Hercules are not in zones 2 or 3.
You can check to see if your home is located in a fire zone here. https://ia.cpuc.ca.gov/firemap/
