BC Hydro Solar and Battery Rebates

The Solar and Battery Rebate Offer launched on July 23rd 2024 and provides rebates to BC Hydro customers who install solar photovoltaic and/or battery energy storage systems (100kW or less in size) in residential homes and businesses. The rebates are available to select customer whose solar generation and battery projects are approved under the Self generation (bchydro.com) and are eligible for the self-generation rate (if installing solar). Most participants in the rebate offer are residential customers who install smaller scale solar systems (~7-9 kW) on a single family type dwelling. The residential offer provides a rebate of up to $5000 for residential customers. Larger rebates are available for commercial customers, social housing, and multi-use residential buildings.
