Solar Communities

 

SolarBC Has Established 32 Solar Communities Across BC

 

 
(Click on the interactive balloons and legend to find out more about each community.)

These communities have taken a leadership role in developing the market for Solar Hot Water and raising awareness of SolarBC. The SolarBC Communities project is a part of the SolarBC Program, which has a goal of transforming the market for solar hot water systems in B.C. We are providing funding, plus assistance for marketing, training and solar policy development. SolarBC is proud to work alongside these exemplary communities and excited to continue our relationship with them at least until the end of 2012!

The selection criteria for Solar Communities were based on multiple factors that included: solar targets, actions and initiatives proposed, intention to apply for other grants to help implement the solar hot water initiatives, participation in Community Action on Energy and Emissions, and demonstrated commitment and past implementation of solar initiatives in the community.
