Energy is the currency of the future, and as we shift toward the electrification of everything, solar energy is becoming a smart investment for homeowners. At the Home Retrofit Fair, Jim Jacobsen, Vice President & Co-Founder of Energy Economics, will be presenting on why solar belongs in your home renovation plans.

Jim has been a key advocate for BC’s solar industry, with years of experience in renewable energy education, community engagement, and strategic solar development. From his early commitment to sustainability—participating in Canada’s first Earth Day walk in 1980—to his leadership in BC’s solar energy transition, Jim is passionate about helping homeowners make informed energy choices.

His presentation will cover:

  • When Solar Makes Sense – Key factors to determine if your home is a good candidate.
  • The Economics of Solar – Return on investment, long-term savings, and energy security.
  • Available Incentives – Learn about BC Hydro rebates, interest-free loans, and tax credits that make going solar more affordable.

This event is a must-attend for homeowners looking to maximize comfort, efficiency, and savings through home energy upgrades. Plus, you’ll have the chance to learn about Retrofit Assist, a local concierge service that guides homeowners through the energy retrofit process.
