Learn about this projectSave more with rebates and incentives
British Columbia has some of Canada’s best programs to make going solar more affordable. Our local experts are always up-to-date and can help you navigate these incentives to maximize your savings.
BC Hydro is offering rebates up to $5,000 on eligible grid-connected solar panels and up to $5,000 on eligible battery systems to residential customers.
BC Hydro’s self-generation program allows you to earn credits for any excess solar energy you send back to the grid, further reducing your electricity bills.
In British Columbia, solar panel and energy storage systems are exempt from the 7% Provincial Sales Tax (PST), providing immediate savings on your investment.
In addition to grants, we offer flexible financing plans with no money down. These plans often have monthly payments that are less than your current hydro bill.
