Frequently Asked Questions About Solar Rebates

Get answers to common questions about solar incentives and rebate programs in Canada

Solar rebates in Canada are financial incentives offered by federal, provincial, and municipal governments to encourage homeowners to adopt renewable energy. These programs typically provide a fixed dollar amount per kilowatt of installed solar capacity, a percentage of total project costs, or upfront grants. Most rebates are applied after installation, reducing your out-of-pocket costs. Some programs like Ontario's HRSP offer up to $5,000 for solar panels, while BC Hydro provides $1,000 per kW installed.
Yes! In most cases, you can stack multiple rebate programs to maximize your savings. For example, you can combine federal programs like the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program (up to $10,000) with provincial rebates and even municipal loan programs. However, some programs have specific rules about combining incentives, so it's important to check eligibility requirements. Our team at Xolar helps you navigate which rebates can be combined for maximum savings.
The application process varies by program. Generally, you'll need to: 1) Confirm your eligibility based on location and property type, 2) Get quotes from certified installers (like Xolar), 3) Complete the installation with approved equipment, 4) Submit your application with proof of purchase and installation. Some programs require pre-approval before installation, while others accept applications afterward. Xolar handles most rebate paperwork on your behalf to ensure you don't miss any available incentives.
Most solar rebates in Canada do not have income requirements and are available to all homeowners. However, some programs offer enhanced benefits for low-to-moderate income households. For example, the federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability Program provides up to $10,000 specifically for income-eligible homeowners. Municipal loan programs like Toronto HELP and Ottawa Better Homes also offer reduced interest rates for qualifying households. Contact us to learn which enhanced programs you may qualify for.
Solar rebates are primarily designed for property owners since they involve permanent installations. Renters typically cannot access these rebates directly. However, condo owners may qualify if they own their unit and the condo board approves the installation. Some programs cover multi-unit residential buildings. If you're a renter interested in solar, consider discussing options with your landlord, as they may be willing to invest in solar given the available incentives and increased property value.
Yes, many rebate programs have funding limits and deadlines. Government incentive programs are often available until funding runs out or until a specific end date. For example, some provincial programs are renewed annually with new budget allocations. Federal programs may run for several years but can be modified or discontinued. We recommend acting quickly when you're ready for solar installation to ensure you capture available rebates before they change or expire.
Rebate eligibility varies by program, but generally covers: solar photovoltaic (PV) panels, battery storage systems (like Tesla Powerwall), heat pumps (air source and ground source), EV charging stations, and related electrical upgrades. Products must typically meet specific efficiency standards and be installed by certified contractors. Some programs require equipment from approved product lists. Xolar only installs qualifying equipment to ensure you maximize your rebate eligibility.
Processing times vary by program. Most rebates are paid within 4-12 weeks after submitting a complete application with all required documentation. Some programs like BC Hydro's solar rebate may take up to 16 weeks. Municipal loan programs work differently, providing financing upfront that's repaid through property taxes. To speed up the process, ensure all paperwork is complete and accurate. Xolar helps track your rebate applications and follows up to prevent delays.
