How much rebate you get
BC Hydro and CleanBC programs offer rebates for solar in Richmond. The exact amount depends on your income and the scope of your project.
Who qualifies
- You own your home in Richmond
- Your current system matches the upgrade type
- Your HPCN-certified installer files the rebate claim
- Income-qualified households see higher rebates
How to claim it
Solar and battery rebates don't require a home energy audit like insulation or heat pumps do — the money is applied at installation instead.
- Choose an HPCN-registered CleanBC contractor in Richmond — required for eligibility since June 1, 2026
- Your system needs to be reviewed and approved to connect to the grid through BC Hydro's self-generation service before the rebate is paid
- The contractor applies the rebate directly, reducing your upfront cost rather than reimbursing you later
- Once your interconnection is approved, the rebate is processed in 30–45 business days
