An approved home battery keeps your family safe and powered when the grid goes down. Solar charges it and earns you up to $10,000 back from BC Hydro. We match you with one approved local installer — free, no spam, one call. That’s it.
A home battery keeps your fridge, lights, and heat pump running through outages — wildfires, winter storms, grid failures. Solar charges it and pays you back with up to $10,000 from BC Hydro plus lower bills for years. We connect you with one trusted installer in your city, then step out of the way.
No drawn-out sales process. No five quotes to compare. One trusted local installer takes you from a 60-second savings estimate to BC Hydro paperwork to a working system on your roof.
Each city page has a 60-second savings calculator that uses local sun-hour data and BC Hydro rates. Get an honest 10-year estimate before sharing any contact info.
We’ve researched, vetted, and partnered with a top-rated BC Hydro approved installer in your area. Share your info and they’ll call within one business day. You skip weeks of comparison shopping and chasing callbacks.
Your matched installer calls within one business day, visits your home, gives a free quote, and handles all BC Hydro Power Smart 2.0 paperwork. Rebate cheque arrives 30 to 45 days post-install.
Going solar + battery isn’t one thing. It’s three. A home that stays on when the grid goes down. Real money back in your family’s bank. And a battery that quietly helps your neighbours when winter cold pushes the grid hard. We picked this work because all three matter.
Wildfires. Winter storms. Grid overloads. BC outages are getting more frequent. An approved home battery keeps your fridge, lights, heat pump, and well pump running through every one of them. This isn’t a luxury — for families in Kamloops, Squamish, or anywhere along BC’s grid edge, it’s essential infrastructure.
A cheque from BC Hydro for up to $10,000 lands 30 to 45 days after install. Peak Saver pays you about $3,000 over a decade. Your power bills drop another $5K to $9K depending on your city. That’s real money — not a tax credit, not a deduction — back in your pocket.
Solar-equipped homes sell faster and for more — BC buyers pay for lower future bills. And when January cold pushes the grid hard, your enrolled battery quietly shares stored power back to your neighbours. Equity and community, from the same roof.
One trusted installer per city — that’s how we make sure the three good things actually happen. No five-installer auctions, no spam, no data sales. The point of going solar isn’t avoiding lead-farm sites — it’s the three things above. But our model is how we make sure you actually get them.

The three pillars above only happen if the people doing the work show up. Here’s how we make sure they do.
The same trusted local company every time in your city — not a five-installer auction. They show up because their name is on the work, in your neighbourhood, for years.
Every installer in our network is HPCN-certified — the standard BC Hydro requires for the rebate from June 1, 2026. Your cheque arrives without a snag.
You pay us nothing — ever. Our installer partners pay a small referral fee, but only when you decide the job’s right for your home. No subscription, no hidden cost, no catch.
We don’t sell your info. We don’t bundle leads. Your details go to one local company — never resold, never auctioned, never your phone ringing with strangers.
Solar matching done right is slow work — one approved installer per city, one strong partnership at a time. Here’s the roadmap.
Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nanaimo, Prince George, Squamish, Surrey, Vancouver, Vernon, Victoria. One approved installer per city.
Expanding to additional BC markets through 2026. Adding heat pump rebates (up to $4,000) to the matching service.
California first, then states with strong solar rebate programs. Same model: one approved installer per city, no auction, no data sales.
Drop your city and email below. We’ll contact you the moment we have an approved installer ready to serve your area — not a day sooner. One email. No sales calls. No spam.
We’ll email you the moment we’ve got an approved installer serving your area. Until then, no calls, no spam.
Honest answers about how the service works, what the BC Hydro rebate gets you, and why we do it this way.
HomePowerRebate is the easiest way for BC homeowners to claim BC Hydro’s solar and battery rebate. You get a real cheque from BC Hydro (up to $10,000), a home that’s worth more at sale, and a battery that quietly helps power your neighbourhood when the grid is stressed. We match you with one approved local installer in your city — never five — and then step out of the way. Free for homeowners, currently serving 11 BC cities across BC.
Most solar lead sites sell your contact info to 5 or 10 installers at once, so you spend weeks fielding cold calls and pushy emails. HomePowerRebate sends your info to exactly one approved local installer — the same trusted company every time in your city — and then we step away. One match, one call, no spam. You stay in control.
Nothing for you. The service is completely free for homeowners. Our installer partners pay us a small referral fee, but only when you decide to book a job. If you don’t move forward, you owe nothing — no subscription, no hidden cost, no catch.
It’s part of BC Hydro’s $1.1 billion Power Smart 2.0 program. Eligible BC homeowners can claim up to $10,000 — $5,000 for solar panels and $5,000 for a home battery when enrolled in Peak Saver. Add Peak Saver rewards (~$3,000 over 10 years), lower power bills ($5,000 to $9,000 over a decade depending on city), and a typical home value lift of about 4%, and a BC family gets $18,000 to $22,000 back over 10 years. Plus your enrolled battery helps the grid handle peak demand — that’s how BC homes power BC homes. Read the BC overview →
We currently match homeowners in Abbotsford, Chilliwack, Kamloops, Kelowna, Nanaimo, Prince George, Squamish, Surrey, Vancouver, Vernon, and Victoria. Expanding to more BC cities and California through 2026.
Yes. Every installer in our network is HPCN-certified (Home Performance Contractor Network), which is required by BC Hydro for the rebate as of June 1, 2026. We match each city with one trusted local company so you get accountability, not auction-style chaos.
No. We do not sell homeowner data to third parties. Your info goes to one approved installer in your city — that’s it. We don’t run lead auctions, we don’t bundle leads, and we don’t pass your details to multiple companies.
BC Hydro doesn’t include Tesla products on its approved battery list. If you install a Tesla Powerwall in BC, you get zero rebate — that’s $5,000 left on the table. We install BC Hydro-approved batteries (Eguana Evolve) so homeowners get the full rebate. Read the full story →
No. HomePowerRebate is an independent service. We are not affiliated with, endorsed by, or operated by BC Hydro. We help homeowners navigate BC Hydro’s Power Smart 2.0 rebate program by matching them with approved local installers.
We’re expanding through 2026, starting with additional BC cities, then California, then other US states with strong solar rebate programs. Join our waitlist and we’ll email you the moment we have an approved local installer ready in your area.
No sales pitch. Real numbers, common mistakes, and what to check before you commit.
HomePowerRebate was built because BC homeowners told us the same story: they wanted to claim BC Hydro’s solar + battery rebate, but every comparison site they tried sold their info to a dozen installers. They got buried in calls. The big rebate cheque felt out of reach because the process was hostile.
We took the opposite approach. One installer per city, picked for HPCN certification and customer reviews. One match per homeowner. No auctions, no bundles, no data sales. Independent of BC Hydro, but transparent about every official source we cite.
Today we serve 11 BC cities. In 2026 we’ll be in more. In 2027 we’ll be in California. Same model the whole way.
