Answer: Yes, if BC Hydro is your electric utility: $1,000 per kW of solar, up to $5,000 and no more than 50% of the cost. A paired battery can add up to $1,500, or up to $5,000 if you enroll it in Peak Saver. Parts of Kelowna are served by FortisBC or the City of Kelowna instead, so check your bill first.
The Details
The Okanagan gets more sun than the coast, which helps solar output. But Kelowna is split between utilities: some addresses are served by FortisBC or the City of Kelowna, and BC Hydro's solar rebate is only for BC Hydro customers. Check your bill first, then see Kelowna solar rebates. Source, checked September 26, 2026: BC Hydro solar and battery rebates.
The exact rebate amount depends on your home's specifics—system size, efficiency ratings, your utility, and income eligibility in some programs.
Next Steps
To claim your rebate:
- Check the full eligibility rules on the program's official website
