SolarBC Residential Project Launch

Over the next two years, SolarBC will be facilitating the installation of over 2,000 solar hot water systems in homes around the province.

The SolarBC residential project is kicking off a comprehensive SolarBC program that will include incentives for municipalities, social housing, first nations, and schools. Our goal is to influence policy and building regulations, reduce barriers to the widespread adoption of solar hot water, and achieve a market transformation for solar hot water technologies in British Columbia.

We will be establishing five Solar Communities that will take on a leadership role and act as flagship communities in the province. Together with these communities, we will launch training and outreach programs that will build capacity and raise awareness of solar hot water.

SolarBC is proud to announce that we are offering a $1,000 point-of-sale discount to individual households on solar hot water installations. SolarBC incentives will be available from the end of June, and can be combined with an additional $500 from the ecoENERGY Retrofit Program and $125 from the LiveSmart Program. To ensure a high level of customer care, our discount is available on systems installed by contractors that are registered with SolarBC.
