BC Hydro Solar Panel Rebates

Get your Sunshine at a Steal.

Rebates, rebates, rebates.

Save Up to $10,000

Solar panels are one of the fastest ways to cut down on your on-grid energy consumption, reducing your reliance on traditional power sources – and the price uncertainty that comes with them.

BC Hydro offers $1 per watt of installed direct current (DC) solar panels for up to:

  • $5,000 off Single Family Homes
  • $10,000 off Multi-Unit Residential Buildings
  • $10,000 off Commercial Buildings

This rebate can pay for up to 50% of the total combined cost of labour and materials for your solar panel install.
