Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP) – Solar

Provincial rebate for home solar PV Solar panels are eligible for up to $5,000 back, calculated at $1,000/kW, up to 50% of total costs. Combined with the battery storage rebate, the maximum is $10,000. Important: participants who receive an HRSP incentive for solar PV and battery storage cannot enter a net–metering agreement with their local distribution company. These incentives are for load displacement only — the electricity generated is used exclusively to meet the home's own consumption. You choose HRSP or net metering, not both. Written pre–approval is required before any equipment is purchased or installed, and Cornwall Electric customers are not eligible.

Durham Greener Homes Loan

A Local Improvement Charge loan at 2%, repaid through property tax Durham Region residents can borrow up to $125,000 at a low–interest rate of 2% to improve the energy efficiency and comfort of their home. Repayment is fixed at 15 years. The loan can be split 80% energy efficiency / 20% weather resiliency (flooding, heat, wind). Homeowners are eligible for an initial disbursement of up to 50% of the eligible funds. The charge is attached to the property, not the owner, and transfers on sale — worth understanding before you compare it against a personal loan. A Local Improvement Charge is the same municipal financing tool used for infrastructure such as sidewalks and sewers, applied here to energy retrofits.

Toronto HELP Loan

Home Energy Loan Program for energy efficiency upgrades Making a home more energy efficient is one of the most substantial actions homeowners can take to reduce the emissions contributing to climate change. Through the Home Energy Loan Program (HELP), Toronto homeowners can borrow up to $125,000 for up to 20 years at 4.67% to cover the cost of home energy improvements, such as: Air–source heat pumps Window/door replacements Insulation: basement/attic/exterior wall Air sealing (e.g. weather stripping or caulking) Geothermal systems High–efficiency water heaters High–efficiency furnaces/boilers/air conditioners Tankless water heaters Drain–water heat recovery systems Toilet replacements Solar hot water systems Rooftop solar PV panels Electric vehicle charging stations (Level 2) Battery storage HELP makes it easy and affordable for homeowners to pay for home improvements over time and access rebates offered by utility companies and the Federal government. Once funding is approved, homeowners can hire the contractor of their choice and complete their renovations. Note: Projects that include any of the following measures: solar, windows, geothermal and/or heat pumps are eligible for a 20–year term. The following rates and terms are valid until December 31, 2025: Terms Fixed Interest Rate 5 years 3.08% 10 years 3.92% 15 years 4.41% 20 years** 4.67% An administrative charge of two percent (2%) will be added, reflecting the City’s cost of administering the program. The loan’s value, which will include the funding amount, interest, and an administrative charge, cannot exceed 10 percent of the current value assessment (CVA) for your property or $125,000, whichever is less. Interest rates are fixed and will not fluctuate over the term. Homeowners will repay the loan through their property tax bill and can pay it off at any time.

Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP) – Battery

Provincial rebate for home battery storage Battery energy storage is eligible for up to $5,000 back, calculated at $300/kWh, up to 50% of total costs. Combined with the $5,000 solar rebate the maximum is $10,000. Battery systems must be paired with a new solar PV system and sized appropriately for it — they should primarily store electricity generated by the solar system rather than drawn from the grid. Important: participants who receive an HRSP incentive for solar PV and battery storage cannot enter a net–metering agreement with their local distribution company. These incentives are for load displacement only — the electricity generated is used exclusively to meet the home's own consumption. You choose HRSP or net metering, not both.

Clean Energy Improvement Program (CEIP)

Property–tax financing for solar, available across much of Alberta The Clean Energy Improvement Program lets Alberta homeowners finance energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades — rooftop solar included — through their property tax bill rather than a conventional loan. Repayments are made to your municipality. Competitive interest rates Long repayment terms — up to 20 years for some upgrades No large upfront payment for the improvement itself CEIP is administered by Alberta Municipalities and runs only in municipalities that have passed the enabling bylaw, so the amount, interest rate and term are set locally — check your own municipality's terms and conditions before comparing it against a bank loan. Because the obligation attaches to the property rather than to you personally, it is worth understanding how it is treated if you sell.

Canmore Solar Incentive Program

An annual Town of Canmore incentive for rooftop solar Applications for 2026 have closed. The Town states that incentives will return in 2027 — this is an annual program, not a closed one. Residential: 20 incentives of $1,250 for Canmore homeowners. The array must be at least 3 kW. Commercial and multi–family: $750/kW to a maximum of $20,000, for new construction and existing buildings. Multi–family systems must serve the common areas and/or all units. Neither incentive is retroactive for systems already installed. If applications exceed the available funding, recipients are chosen by lottery — so applying early does not by itself secure one. Installation and electrical inspections must be completed by December 15.

Medicine Hat Solar Electric Incentive

Rebate up to $1,000 for solar electric system installations based on system size Rebate Amount $0.20 per nominal Direct Current (DC) watt ($200 per kilowatt DC) Maximum rebate: $1,000 If your solar PV system is planned with a DC capacity that exceeds 150% of the inverter AC capacity, a written rational is required. HAT Smart reserves the right to fund only the installed capacity (kW DC) up to 150% of the inverter capacity (kW AC) at HAT Smart's sole discretion. Important Any deviation, whether increase or decrease, from the approved system size (kW DC or kW AC) must be approved by the City and the Utilities Distribution Systems Electric Engineering Department (Electric Engineering). If the installed system size is larger than the approved system size, Electric Engineering may refuse to install the bi–directional meter until the system size is corrected and the rebate will be denied at HAT Smart's discretion. HAT Smart Solar rebate will be processed based on the final approved and installed system size. If the Solar rebate is associated with the Existing Homes Incentive Program, the maximum pay out will be the amount of funds reserved or the $200 per kilowatt DC of the final system installed or the maximum rebate of $1,000, whichever is less.

Halifax Solar City

Municipal financing for solar, repaid through a charge on your property Solar City is the Halifax Regional Municipality's own financing programme for solar energy systems. Rather than lending you money directly, the municipality places a voluntary Local Improvement Charge (LIC) on your property once your solar contractor has been paid at the end of the project. The mechanism is set out in Solar City Bylaw S–500. Repaid over 10 years at a fixed 4.75% Billed separately from your property tax bill, but collected in the same manner and subject to the same penalties, remedies and lien priorities You may pay the balance in full at any time without penalty, which removes the lien Can be combined with other incentives — the programme is designed to sit alongside them and cover the upfront cost Solar City also provides a navigation service that walks a property owner through each step of the process. Because the charge attaches to the property rather than to you personally, it is worth understanding the arrangement before comparing it against a conventional loan. Covers the Halifax Regional Municipality, so Dartmouth, Bedford and Sackville property owners are eligible, not only those on the Halifax peninsula.
