Rebates and Incentives

Solar Incentives and Rebates in Canada

In Canada, and around the world, solar generated electricity is becoming more and more popular. This is for good reasons: The cost of PV modules has dropped more than tenfold in the past decade making solar panels not just affordable but also cost-effective in offsetting the price of electricity. The value of reducing ones carbon footprint has also risen drastically in recent years with climate change and the popularity of the “being greener”.

Provincial governments have recognized this, and are providing Canadians with more and more incentives to make the switch to solar. Whether it is for financial or for environmental reasons, solar makes sense just about everywhere in Canada! Listed by province and territory below are all the incentives and rebates currently available. If your looking to make the next step and determine what size of system you may need then have a look at our “How to Size a Solar System” article.
