Home battery rebates in British Columbia
The first tip comes from the program’s own steps. Each program’s rules come first.
- How BC Hydro Solar and Battery Rebates program works in B.C.
- Get quotes from HPCN-member solar and battery installers. Submit a self-generation application through MyHydro and wait for technical acceptance before buying equipment.
- Check the pairing rules
- Many battery rebates only apply when the battery is installed with new solar, not added to an existing system.
- Size it for what you need
- Decide whether you want backup power for essentials or daily bill savings. The answer changes the size and cost.
- Confirm utility approval
- Your utility may need to approve the interconnection before installation.
