Start your assessment →Power Smart 2.0 is BC Hydro's $1.1 billion program offering up to $10,000 for solar + battery systems, plus $4,000 for heat pumps, with additional incentives for insulation, windows, and energy-efficient upgrades. It's available to BC Hydro residential customers.
A typical residential solar + battery system costs $25,000 to $40,000 depending on size and location. With the BC Hydro rebate (up to $10,000), Peak Saver rewards (~$3,000 over 10 years), and lower power bills ($5,000 to $9,000 over a decade), your net cost is dramatically reduced. Payback periods range from 6 to 12 years depending on the city and home size.
