By harnessing the solar potential of your roof, you help fight climate change and reduce reliance on large-scale energy projects with large environmental footprints and negative impacts. It's an investment that benefits both you and the planet.
Government Incentives: You can get up to $40,000 on a 10-year interest-free Greener Homes Loan from the Government of Canada. As of 2024, the Government of British Columbia is offering incentives of up to $5000 for solar panel installations, and an additional $5000 for battery storage systems.
