In summary, the net metering program still exists wherein BC Hydro buys back your excess power in the form of a credit on your bill so long as at the end of the year, they don’t have to write you cheque. This applies to VERY few homes in Victoria that have enough solar that their net power production is more than their usage therefor expecting a check from hydro. For most homes, where solar is offsetting hydro usage and not exceeding it, this does not affect them.
