Hi Emily – the Solar Colwood program provided up to 33% of the installed costs for solar hot water. Typical prices for a retrofit install here are $5000 to $10000 – depending on size of system and complexity of the retrofit.
The EV charging system was fun. Built on the idea from a local business (bakery), we provided grants for “PV4EV” – photovoltaics for electric vehicles. If you own an EV, and put solar PV on your roof sized such that over the course of a year, your PV produces more electricity than your car used, you qualify for the incentive and get to say that you are “driving your car on sunshine”.
Sadly the program funding ends at the end of this month.
