As energy costs continue to rise, more Canadians are turning to solar power as a smart, sustainable investment. The good news? There are generous federal and provincial rebate programs designed to make switching to solar more affordable than ever.
What Federal Rebates Are Available for Solar in Canada?
The Canada Greener Homes Program offers rebates of up to $5,000 for installing solar photovoltaic (PV) systems. Homeowners can also access low-interest financing of up to $40,000 through the Greener Homes Loan to cover installation costs. These programs aim to help Canadians reduce energy consumption while improving property value and comfort.
To qualify, homeowners must complete an energy audit before and after installation, ensuring their new solar system meets program efficiency standards.
What Provincial Solar Rebates Can You Access?
Depending on where you live, additional rebates and incentives may be available:
- New Brunswick: The NB Power Total Home Energy Savings Program offers rebates for eligible solar installations and energy efficiency upgrades.
- Nova Scotia: The SolarHomes Program provides rebates covering up to $3,000–$5,000 toward solar PV systems for homeowners.
- Prince Edward Island: Through the Solar Electric Rebate Program, residents can receive up to $10,000 based on system size and energy output.
- British Columbia: The CleanBC Better Homes Program offers rebates and supports for clean energy retrofits, including solar installations.
These regional programs can often be combined with federal incentives — maximizing total savings for homeowners.
