Provincial Incentives

Many provinces offer their own rebates and incentives to make solar even more affordable. These programs can change, but our local experts are always up-to-date on the latest support available in your region.

British Columbia

BC Hydro Rebates

In B.C., homeowners can receive rebates of up to $5,000 for grid-connected solar panels and an additional $5,000 for battery storage through BC Hydro’s Self-Generation Program. The goal is to help you generate your own clean electricity, reduce bills, and contribute to a cleaner energy future. Projects must be connected to the grid and meet program eligibility — we can help you navigate the process.

Alberta

Solar Club

In Alberta, the well-regarded Solar Club program offers exclusive solar-friendly electricity rates, cash-back incentives, and smart switching between low and high rates to boost your savings. While the province doesn’t currently have large direct rebates like some others, programs like these make going solar financially compelling and more accessible. We’re keeping a close eye on future provincial incentives and will update you as new opportunities arise.

Ontario

Ontario Programs

Ontario’s solar incentive landscape is evolving, with programs under review and new energy-efficiency rebates being introduced. While dedicated rooftop solar rebates are less prominent at the moment, homeowners can still benefit from federal loans, energy-efficiency programs, and net-metering credits that make solar an attractive long-term investment. If you’re in Ontario, now is a great time to get a quote, watch for upcoming provincial changes, and position your system for future savings.

New Brunswick

Total Home Energy Savings Program

New Brunswick homeowners can access the Total Home Energy Savings Program through NB Power, offering rebates up to $3,000 toward solar PV systems up to 15 kW in size. You can also participate in NB Power’s net-metering program to feed excess solar power back into the grid. We’ll guide you through the evaluation and application process so you can make the most of the available incentives.

New Brunswick

Nova Scotia

Community Solar

Although traditional large-scale solar rebates have recently ended in Nova Scotia, the province has launched a Community Solar Program enabling residents, renters, and businesses to subscribe to shared solar installations and earn credits on their power bills. With rising electricity rates and strong solar potential in the region, going solar remains a smart move. We can help explore the shared-solar option or tailor a rooftop system that keeps you ahead of the curve.
