CleanBC’s Better Homes & Home Renovation Rebate Program, administered by the Province along with BC Hydro or FortisBC, offers provincial-level rebates for a wide range of energy-efficiency upgrades—even if solar panels and batteries aren’t directly covered, it complements federal and utility programs effectively.
-
Rebate cap: Up to $14,000 total across eligible upgrades for eligible households in BC, including insulation, heating systems, windows, and energy evaluations.
-
Bonus: The Home Energy Improvement Bonus adds $750–$2,000 when completing three or more eligible upgrades, provided a pre‑retrofit EnerGuide evaluation is done beforehand; low‑income households may qualify for extra rebates via the Energy Savings Program.
-
How it links to solar: While solar panels and batteries are backed by BC Hydro’s utility rebates, qualifying other upgrades under CleanBC can help cover broader retrofit costs, and energy audits (EnerGuide) are often required by both federal and provincial programs.
How to access: Book an eligible energy advisor evaluation, complete upgrades using registered contractors when needed, submit receipts and home evaluation results, then apply online before invoice deadlines (e.g. by August 31, 2025 or within 6 months of invoice).
