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.

How does net metering work for commercial solar?
Net metering allows your business to send excess solar power back to the grid and receive credits. These credits offset electricity used when your system isn’t producing enough power. Net metering policies vary by province and utility, and we help navigate these requirements.
Will solar panels work during winter in Canada?
Yes! Solar panels actually perform more efficiently in cold temperatures. While winter has fewer daylight hours, panels still generate significant power from reflected light off snow. Our systems are designed specifically for Canadian climate conditions with appropriate tilt angles and snow load considerations.

Our commercial solar systems include comprehensive warranties: 25-year panel performance guarantees, 10-25 year inverter warranties, 25-year mounting system warranties, and our 10-year workmanship warranty. We also offer extended warranty options for additional peace of mind.
