Solar Panels in Prince George, BC
Prince George has better solar production (1,100 kWh/kW) than most coastal cities despite being further north – the interior’s drier climate more than compensates. Long summer days (17+ hours in June) boost seasonal production significantly. BC Hydro rebates and PST exemption apply.
Note: The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant and Loan programs are now closed.
