How Net Metering Works in British Columbia

In British Columbia, with Time-of-Use billing, On-Peak hours coincide with peak solar generation times, earning you credits at higher On-Peak rates.
Net Metering in British Columbia makes it simple for a home solar installation to cover your bills year-round.
