The benefits of the BC Hydro program and solar
Financial savings are just the start. BC Hydro's rebate program delivers long-term property value, energy independence, and a measurable reduction in your household carbon output.
Lower bills for decades
Most BC homeowners cut their electricity bill by 60-90% after installation. With BC Hydro’s net metering program, excess power you generate rolls back your meter, so your solar system pays you back month after month.
Measurable carbon reduction
A typical residential solar installation in BC offsets 2-4 tonnes of CO2 per year. It’s the equivalent of taking a car off the road! Track your contribution through BC Hydro’s monitoring dashboard and see your real-time impact.
Increased property value
BC real estate appraiser consistently value
solar-equipped homes 3-5% higher than comparable properties. Your rebate-subsidized system becomes a permanent asset that attracts buyers and justifies a stronger asking price when you sell.

Protection from rate increase
Electricty rates have increased an average of 3% per year over the past decade. Generating your own power insulates your household budget from future utility rate hikes, for the full 25-year panel lifespan.
Storage and grid independence
Pair your panels with an eligible battery storage system (also covered by rebates), and keep the lights on at all times! Store surplus daytime energy and draw from it at peak-rate hours to further slash what you owe the grid.
Faster payback period
When rebates cover part of your installation costs, the math changes dramatically. Most participants recover their remaining out-of-pocket investments within 7-10 years, then generate essentially free electricity for the next 12+ years!
