Fraser Lake sits right on Highway 16 between Vanderhoof and Burns Lake, which makes it an easy village for us to work in. We install solar, battery storage and back-up power here for homes, acreages and community buildings.
Fraser Lake has had a hard few years, and we are not going to pretend a solar array fixes that. What it does is take a monthly cost that only ever goes up and turn it into a fixed one you own outright. For a household watching every bill, that predictability is usually the point — more than the environmental argument, and more than the payback figure.
A rebate of up to $5,000 on the solar and up to $5,000 on a battery takes a real bite out of the up-front number. And we will tell you honestly if your roof or your consumption does not justify it.
BC Hydro closed net metering to new customers on 1 July 2026. Under the Self-Generation rate that replaced it, the power you export is bought at 10 cents per kWh and credited on every bill rather than settled once a year.
Rebates are still on the table — up to $5,000 on solar and up to $5,000 on an eligible battery. But since 1 June 2026 BC Hydro only pays them when the work is done by a Home Performance Contractor Network member. We are one. If your installer is not, the rebate simply does not get paid.
Roughly 160 km west of Prince George on Highway 16 — the same run we make to Vanderhoof, carried a little further. Permits, inspection and the BC Hydro interconnection are handled by us.
Send your last BC Hydro bill and a photo of the roof. If solar does not make sense for your property, we will say so.
Nechako Solar is a licensed BC electrical contractor, licence LEL0204111, and a member of BC Hydro’s Home Performance Contractor Network. Rebate amounts and rate details are current as of August 2026 and are set by BC Hydro, not by us.
