The business case

Federal tax credits stack in your favour

Commercial solar isn't just an energy decision — it's a tax-advantaged capital investment.

30%

Clean Technology ITC — refundable

A 30% refundable federal tax credit on eligible solar PV, inverters and racking installed before Dec 31, 2033. A refundable credit directly reduces taxes owed — if it exceeds your liability, the difference is paid to you.

43.1 / 43.2

Accelerated CCA depreciation

Commercial solar qualifies for accelerated Capital Cost Allowance under Class 43.1 (30%) or 43.2 (50% declining balance). With the Accelerated Investment Incentive, you can write off a major share in Year 1 — stacking on top of the CT ITC.

Commercial solar questions

How much can my business save with commercial solar?
Most businesses see a 50–90% reduction in electricity costs, depending on usage, system size and local rates. With the 30% CT ITC and CCA depreciation, many projects reach payback in 4–7 years. We provide detailed ROI analysis during consultation.
What is the Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (CT ITC)?
A 30% refundable federal tax credit on eligible clean-energy equipment — solar panels, inverters and racking — installed before December 31, 2033. Unlike a deduction, a refundable credit directly reduces taxes owed, and any excess is paid to you.
How does CCA Class 43.1/43.2 work for commercial solar?
Commercial solar qualifies for accelerated Capital Cost Allowance under Class 43.1 (30% declining balance) or 43.2 (50%). With the Accelerated Investment Incentive you can write off a major share in Year 1. The CCA stacks with the CT ITC — the depreciable base is reduced by half the credit amount.
What financing options are available?
Cash purchase, solar loans, leases and power purchase agreements (PPAs). Each has different benefits for upfront cost, ownership and tax treatment. Our team helps you choose the best fit.
How long does commercial installation take?
Commercial projects typically take 6–18 months from contract to activation depending on size and complexity, including design, permits, procurement and installation. We provide detailed timelines in the proposal.
How much does commercial solar cost in Canada?
Pricing varies by size: small (25–100 kW) ~$2.40–$2.90/W, mid-size (100–500 kW) $2.00–$2.40/W, and large (500 kW+) $1.60–$2.00/W installed — all before the 30% CT ITC, which significantly reduces effective cost.
Will solar work in Canadian winters?
Yes — panels run more efficiently in cold temperatures. Winter has fewer daylight hours, but systems still generate significant power and are engineered for Canadian climate conditions.
