Every BC Hydro rebate, in one guide.

Solar: up to $5,000

BC Hydro’s self-generation program pays $1,000 per kW of installed solar, to a maximum of $5,000 (or 50% of installed cost, whichever is less). A typical 5 kW-plus residential system hits the full $5,000. Every solar system ToSolar installs, using tier-1 Longi and JA Solar panels, is designed to qualify.

Battery storage: up to $1,500

Home batteries earn $500 per kWh up to $1,500, for equipment on BC Hydro’s qualified product list. The Sigenergy SigenStor we install is eligible.

The Tesla exception

The question we hear most: Tesla products are not eligible for BC Hydro rebates, not Powerwall, and not the Tesla Wall Connector. Powerwall remains a superb whole-home backup battery; but if the rebate matters to your math, SigenStor is the qualified path. We quote both, with numbers, and let you choose.

EV charging: three separate offers

• Level 2 charger: 50% of purchase + installation, up to $350, for eligible chargers (ChargePoint and Emporia qualify; Tesla’s charger doesn’t).
• EV power management device: an extra $200 for single-family homes, often the trick that avoids a costly panel upgrade.
• Peak Saver: enroll an eligible smart charger for a $250 bill credit plus $50 every season you stay enrolled.

Apartments, condos & townhomes

Multi-unit buildings with shared parking have their own, larger program. In the District of Saanich, for example: an EV Ready plan rebate up to $4,000 combined, plus up to $700 per parking stall for EV-ready infrastructure. Top-ups vary by municipality. Ask us about your building.

The fine print that actually matters

• You must be a BC Hydro residential customer (FortisBC customers have a parallel program).
• Work must be done by a registered contractor, ToSolar is a Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN) member, which is what unlocks these programs for you.
• EV charger applications go in within 90 days of installation.
• Rebates stack with financing: the rebate cuts the project cost, Financeit spreads the rest.

The best part: we do the paperwork. ToSolar registers your project and files every application as part of the job.
