Solar Panels in North Vancouver, BC
North Vancouver’s mountain-adjacent location results in slightly lower production (960 kWh/kW) due to terrain shading on some properties. South-facing roofs perform well. BC Hydro rebates (up to $5,000 for solar plus battery rebate (up to $1,500 without Peak Saver, or up to $5,000 with Peak Saver)) and PST exemption apply.
Note: The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant and Loan programs are now closed.
Net Metering Tradeoff - North Vancouver
BC Hydro has proposed a new export rate of 10¢/kWh, effective July 1, 2026 (BCUC approved March 24, 2026). Customers who received BC Hydro’s solar rebate will be moved to the new rate. Customers who did not receive the rebate can stay on 1:1 net metering for 10 years.
