About BC Solar Check

BC Solar Check helps BC homeowners understand BC Hydro solar and battery rebate eligibility and connect with HPCN-certified installers. We are an independent resource - not affiliated with BC Hydro.

Rebate amounts and program rules are sourced from BC Hydro published terms and linked on our sources page. Always confirm current eligibility with BC Hydro or your installer before purchasing equipment.

What we cover

• BC Hydro and NWEU residential solar and battery rebates
• HPCN installer requirements, Peak Saver, and April 2026 battery rule changes
• July 2026 net metering transition (RS 1289 to RS 2289)
• FortisBC vs BC Hydro utility clarification
• City-level guides for major BC communities

We also run BC Rebate Check for heat pump and CleanBC energy rebates - the same check approach for a different program.

We may be compensated by installers we refer you to. This does not affect rebate amounts or BC Hydro program rules.
