Summerside's Solar Potential

Prince Edward Island is a great place to live in Canada for solar production. Summerside gets some of the best sunlight in the country. Solar installations in Summerside are highly efficient, overperforming to an average of 1125 kWh of electricity per year for every 1 kW installed.

Prince Edward Island has the 6th highest electricity costs of Canadian provinces. In 2023 they increased rates by 6.14%, and have asked for a 5.87% increase for 2025. The more you pay for electricity – the more you benefit by going solar. Choosing solar energy allows you to save money by avoiding these high electricity rates. With energy prices expected to rise year over year, going solar protects you from increasing costs by generating your own power.

Your solar system will connect to the grid in Summerside via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is credited by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months. Your credits expire after a year, so it’s important to size your system based on your usage. The costs of electricity, abundant sunlight, and the Net-Metering program in Summerside, P.E.I. make it one of the best places in Canada for solar.
