A refundable tax credit on eligible solar PV and battery storage costs for taxable Canadian corporations. Available for property acquired through 2033.
$1,000 per kW of installed solar capacity, capped at 50% of total installed cost. First-come, first-served while funding lasts.
$500 per kWh of installed storage (5–100 kWh systems), capped at 50% of installed cost. Batteries also cut demand charges by shaving peaks.
Excess energy exported to the grid earns a bill credit under BC Hydro's self-generation service (systems up to 100 kW of net export), on top of what you save by using your own power.
The strongest candidates check three boxes: incorporated, own their building, and use electricity during the day.
| Requirement | Why it matters |
|---|---|
| Incorporated business | The 30% federal Clean Technology ITC is available to taxable Canadian corporations. Sole proprietorships don't qualify directly for the credit. |
| Own your building or land | You need authority over the roof or ground-mount site, and you keep the asset's value. Farms with available land are excellent ground-mount candidates. |
| Daytime electricity use | Solar is worth the most when you consume the power yourself. Wineries, breweries, grocery, cold storage, packing and processing, dealerships, and greenhouses are ideal profiles. |
| BC Hydro business account | Rebates and export credits run through BC Hydro's business programs and self-generation service. Pre-approval is required before purchasing equipment. |
