Solar Water Heater

You can access LiveSmart BC grants for Solar Domestic Hot Water Systems. Solar energy is free, and will not increase in price like gas or electricity.

According to Solar BC, "over its lifetime, a solar hot water system easily pays for itself and further provides proofing against a trend of rising energy costs." (1)
