PDF applications:
As of March 21, 2025, we're no longer accepting PDF or paper applications submitted by mail, fax, or email. All self-generation applications must be submitted online through MyHydro. If you have questions about applying online or need assistance with your online application, please email us.
Tesla products are not eligible:
The Government of B.C. and BC Hydro are taking action to preference Canadian goods in our rebate programs going forward and to exclude, where practicable, U.S. produced goods. As of March 12, 2025, Tesla products are not eligible for BC Hydro rebates. If you submitted a self-generation application for a Tesla product before March 12, 2025, it can still qualify for rebates and will be processed as normal. View product FAQs.
