Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP) – Solar

Provincial rebate for behind–the–meter home solar energy storage systems Solar panels are eligible for up to $5,000 back, calculated at $1,000/kW, up to 50% of total costs Participants who receive an incentive through the Home Renovation Savings program for solar PV and battery storage projects are not eligible to participate in a net–metering agreement with their LDC. These incentives are provided for projects designed for load displacement only. Load displacement means the electricity generated from a solar PV system is used exclusively to meet the home’s energy consumption needs. Those contemplating installing solar PV and battery storage on their home can choose either to receive an incentive through the Home Renovation Savings program or to participate in a net–metering agreement with their LDC. Learn more about net metering at the Ontario Energy Board’s website.

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.

Saskatoon HELP Program – Loan

Low–interest financing for energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades. Various terms: 5yr at 3.3%, 10yr at 3.9%, 20yr at 4.55% The Home Energy Loan Program (HELP) was developed to help Saskatoon homeowners improve energy efficiency, install renewable energy, or reduce water use by offering low interest loans to cover the costs of these upgrades. Loans between $1,000 and $60,000 are available to homeowners residing in the city of Saskatoon for eligible retrofits. These loans are offered at a low interest rate and are repaid through property taxes over 5, 10, or 20 year terms. HELP is not intended for smaller changes such as switching to LED lights, or installing a low–flow shower head. Instead, it is meant for larger home upgrades. Why get a HELP loan? A HELP loan provides a low–interest option to cover the upfront costs associated with renovating your home for energy efficiency or renewable energy. The loan balance can be repaid early at any time, without penalty. A HELP loan is attached to the property, not the individual. This means if you move before your loan is paid off, the new owner of that home can continue to make the loan payments as they will receive the benefit from the upgrades. Investing in energy efficiency, water conservation, and renewable energy in your home will save money in the long term by reducing your utility bills. Homes are also more comfortable and healthier due to less drafts and better air quality. Making these changes to your home is also part of the solution to slow down climate change by reducing household greenhouse gas emissions. What are the terms for a HELP loan?  The minimum loan to participate in the program is $1,000. The maximum loan amount for this program is $40,000, unless you can provide proof that your project will reduce your homes energy consumption by 50% or more, then you can receive a maximum loan of $60,000. There is a $750 administration fee to participate in the program. If you can provide proof of low income, this administration fee can be waived. Homeowners can choose the repayment term that best suits their needs options include:  Term  2025 Interest Rate  5 years   3.32%  10 years   3.89%  20 years   4.54%

Looking to switch off oil heating? The Enhanced Energy Savings Program can help income–eligible homeowners with household annual income less than $70,000 switch from oil heating to an energy–efficient heating system free of charge. The Enhanced Energy Savings Program targets homes in need of energy efficiency upgrades, especially those needing insulation and air sealing. These upgrades will help New Brunswick homeowners with an annual combined gross household income under $70,000, reduce their energy use and costs. For homeowners with a household income of $70,000 or under, the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program is delivered through the EESP and helps homeowners switch from oil heating to an energy–efficient heating system that will lower energy costs, improve comfort in the home and reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

BetterHomes London

BetterHomes London is a city–backed program that offers low–interest, upfront financing to help London homeowners complete energy–saving renovations and pay them back gradually through their property taxes. Eligible owners of detached, semi–detached homes, townhomes, and small multi–unit properties can access up to $40,000 at a fixed 2.5% interest rate with terms of up to 20 years, and the loan conveniently stays with the property if it’s sold rather than following the homeowner. Projects must focus primarily on improving energy efficiency, and when upgrades achieve at least a 25% reduction in energy use, homeowners may qualify for up to $10,000 in incentives that reduce the amount they repay. A dedicated retrofit coach helps you confirm eligibility, plan the best mix of upgrades, and navigate both BetterHomes London and any additional rebate programs, making it easier to lower your bills, increase comfort, and future–proof your home with one simple, guided process.

Alberta focus

Alberta solar rebates & incentives (2026)

Is there an Alberta solar rebate? As of 2026, Alberta has no direct provincial solar grant or rebate — but that doesn't mean you pay full price. Alberta homeowners lower the cost of going solar three ways, and the province's high solar potential keeps payback competitive even without a grant.

$0-down CEIP financing23+ municipalities

The Clean Energy Improvement Program lets participating Alberta municipalities (Edmonton, Calgary, Lethbridge and more) finance your system through your property-tax bill — no upfront cost, repaid over up to 20 years, and the balance stays with the home if you sell.

Micro-generation creditsOn every kWh exported

Under Alberta's Micro-Generation Regulation, your electricity retailer credits the energy you export to the grid on your bill, offsetting what you draw back at night. Systems are sized to your annual usage.

Federal programsCurrently closed

The Canada Greener Homes Grant closed in 2024 and its interest-free loan closed in October 2025. We track any new federal or Alberta program and apply it the moment it opens.

Rebate questions

Get answers to the most common questions about solar energy and our installation process.

Can I combine federal and provincial rebates?

Yes — in most cases you can stack programs.

Federal OHPA can combine with provincial rebates and municipal loans.

Some have specific rules; we help you navigate which stack.

How much is the solar rebate in Canada?

There is no single national rebate.

Provincial programs lead: ON HRSP up to $5,000 solar + $5,000 battery; BC Hydro up to $5,000 each; MB $0.50/W up to $5,000; NB $200/kW up to $3,000.

Do rebates apply to batteries?

Yes — ON HRSP ($5,000), BC Hydro ($5,000) and others include storage.

Battery rebates can cut the net cost of a Powerwall by 25–35%.

How do I apply for solar rebates?

Get a quote, confirm eligibility (some need pre-approval), install with approved equipment, then submit proof of purchase and permits.

Xolar handles most paperwork for you.

Are there income requirements?

Most rebates have none.

Some, like federal OHPA and certain municipal loans, offer enhanced benefits for income-eligible households.

How long until I receive rebate funds?

Typically 4–12 weeks after a complete application; BC Hydro can take up to 16.

Municipal loans provide financing upfront, repaid through property taxes.
