Is Vancouver eligible for Solar Panel rebate?

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.

The Details

Vancouver gets less sun than the Interior, especially in winter, so ask your installer for a written yearly production estimate for your roof. Condo and strata owners need strata approval for rooftop solar. The rebate is capped at 50% of the installed cost. See Vancouver solar rebates.

The exact rebate amount depends on your home's specifics—system size, efficiency ratings, your utility, and income eligibility in some programs.
