The rebate offer covers solar and batteries under 100 kW approved under BC Hydro's self-generation program; as of May 13, 2025, multi-family buildings and businesses receive up to $10,000 each for solar and storage[1]. Corporations claim the refundable ITC[2]; the rebate reduces the ITC cost base.
Demand charges still apply, so we model load and demand, confirm rebate and ITC eligibility, and size to on-site use.
