BC Hydro’s rebate rules, in short
From BC Hydro’s solar and battery rebate page:
- Solar: $1,000 per kW of installed capacity, capped at 50% of the installed cost. The maximum for an individually metered home is $5,000. Commercial and multi-unit buildings can get up to $10,000. Ads quoting $10,000 for a home are usually adding the solar and battery rebates together.
- Batteries: $500 per kWh, capped at 50% of cost. The home maximum is $1,500, or $5,000 if the battery is enrolled in BC Hydro’s Peak Saver program. Batteries generally have to be installed with solar.
- Before you buy: submit a self-generation application and get BC Hydro’s technical acceptance and pre-approval before purchasing equipment. Self-installed systems don’t qualify.
- Installer: since June 1, 2026, the work must be done by a member of BC Hydro’s Home Performance Contractor Network. Ask any installer to confirm.
- Billing: the old net metering rate closed to new customers on July 1, 2026; new systems go on BC Hydro’s self-generation rate (Schedule 2289).
- Rebates are first come, first served while funding lasts.
