Governments are giving away thousands to upgrade your home. You just need to know what you qualify for.

The situation

Most homeowners have no idea how much money they're sitting on. Heat pumps, solar, insulation, water heaters—provincial, state, and utility programs are paying up to 50–70% of the cost. The programs differ by province, by state, even by utility, and you have to ask for them. We do the math for your city, in Canada or the US, in seconds.

Take 20 seconds. Answer three questions. See exactly what your home qualifies for. Then you'll know whether you're looking at $3K or $30K. No sales pitch. No spam. Just numbers.

Three good things

Three good things happen when you put solar on your roof.

Going solar + battery isn’t one thing. It’s three. A home that stays on when the grid goes down. Real money back in your family’s bank. And a battery that quietly helps your neighbours when winter cold pushes the grid hard. We picked this work because all three matter.

Pillar one · Peace of mind
Always on

Your home stays on when the grid goes down.

Wildfires. Winter storms. Grid overloads. BC outages are getting more frequent. An approved home battery keeps your fridge, lights, heat pump, and well pump running through every one of them. This isn’t a luxury — for families in Kamloops, Squamish, or anywhere along BC’s grid edge, it’s essential infrastructure.

Pillar two · Money
$18K–$22K

Real money in your family’s bank, over 10 years.

A cheque from BC Hydro for up to $10,000 lands 30 to 45 days after install. Peak Saver pays you about $3,000 over a decade. Your power bills drop another $5K to $9K depending on your city. One catch: skip Peak Saver enrollment and the battery rebate drops from $5,000 to $1,500 — our installers make sure that never happens.

Pillar three · Home & community
+4%

A more valuable home that powers the block you live on.

Solar-equipped homes sell faster and for more — BC buyers pay for lower future bills. And when January cold pushes the grid hard, your enrolled battery quietly shares stored power back to your neighbours. Equity and community, from the same roof.

One trusted installer per city — that’s how we make sure the three good things actually happen. No five-installer auctions, no spam, no data sales. The point of going solar isn’t avoiding lead-farm sites — it’s the three things above. But our model is how we make sure you actually get them.

About us

Built to do one thing well.

HomePowerRebate was built because BC homeowners told us the same story: they wanted to claim BC Hydro’s solar + battery rebate, but every comparison site they tried sold their info to a dozen installers. They got buried in calls. The big rebate cheque felt out of reach because the process was hostile.

We took the opposite approach. Every vetted installer in your city, picked for HPCN certification, cold-climate performance, and customer reviews. You browse and pick who you trust. No auctions, no bundles, no data sales. Independent of BC Hydro, but transparent about every official source we cite.

Today we serve 18 BC cities and 18 Ontario cities. We’ll keep adding cities within both provinces, then expand to more provinces and eventually the US. Same model the whole way.
