A city–backed loan plus performance incentives, repaid through property tax BetterHomes London is a $6.66 million City of London program offering low–interest loans of up to $40,000 for eligible home upgrades including insulation, windows, heat pumps, and rooftop or ground–mounted solar PV and battery storage, at a 2.5% fixed rate. Homeowners may also qualify for additional incentives of up to $10,000, based on household income and energy savings. The project must cut the home's energy use by at least 25%, with at least 80% of costs on energy–efficiency measures. Minimum project $15,000; minimum loan $5,000. Repaid through property taxes over a 10 to 20 year term. Loans are tied to the property, not the homeowner — the remaining balance can transfer to the next owner if the home is sold before repayment is complete. The program launched in April 2026, supported by the Federation of Canadian Municipalities' Green Municipal Fund through a $1.7 million grant and $3.5 million loan.

Free heat pump installation for income–eligible Ontario homes heated with electricity or oil In Ontario, the federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program is delivered by the IESO through Save on Energy's Energy Affordability Program. Income–eligible homeowners heating with oil can get a cold–climate heat pump installed at no cost, valued at up to $25,000 (up to $15,000 federal and up to $10,000 provincial), plus a $250 bonus cheque. The federal direct–application stream, which paid up to $10,000 upfront, closed on July 31, 2026 for Alberta, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, Quebec and Saskatchewan. Homeowners in other provinces and territories apply through their own provincial program. This program covers heat pumps, not solar.

Provincial rebate for cold–climate heat pump systems $500/ton up to $2000 if you are an Enbridge Gas customer and heat with natural gas (e.g. $1,500 for a 3–ton system) $1,250 per ton up to $7,500 if you heat your home with electricity, oil, propane, or wood (e.g. $3,750 for a 3–ton system) Ground–source heat pumps: $2,000/ton up to $12,000 for homes not heated with natural gas, or $3,000 for Enbridge Gas customers. Pre–approval is mandatory: installations done before approval are not eligible.

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. Panels must be rooftop–mounted (ground mounts are not eligible), and equipment must be new, owned by you and purchased in Canada.

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. Note: this is the loan, which is still open. Whitby's separate Deep Retrofit and Weather–ready rebates are fully subscribed and closed to new applicants.

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 fixed rates, 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. Heat pump–only and rooftop solar–only projects no longer need EnerGuide pre– and post–renovation assessments. Note: Projects that include any of the following measures: solar, windows, geothermal and/or heat pumps are eligible for a 20–year term. Rates valid until December 31, 2026; see the City of Toronto's HELP page for current rates: Terms Fixed Interest Rate 5 years 3.83% 10 years 4.43% 15 years 4.85% 20 years** 5.12% 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.

A 20–year municipal loan at 4.33%, repaid through property tax Better Homes Ottawa offers low–interest, 20–year loans of up to $125,000 — or 10% of the current value assessment of the home, whichever is less — to cover home energy improvements. Interest rate 4.33%, fixed over a 20–year term. Minimum loan $10,000. Eligible measures include thermal envelope upgrades, mechanical systems, renewable energy, Level 2 EV chargers, and rental suites (to a maximum of 30% of the loan value). A 4% administrative charge is added to the loan. Solar PV and battery storage are eligible. Upgrades done before you receive a Notice to Proceed are not eligible. The loan is tied to the property, not the individual.

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. Written pre–approval is required before any equipment is purchased or installed, and Cornwall Electric customers are not eligible.

Income–qualified CleanBC rebates for switching to a heat pump. Rebates cover 100% of eligible costs up to a maximum per home. Amounts for invoices dated on or after July 6, 2026, by income level 1 / 2 / 3: Central ducted heat pump replacing gas, propane or oil: up to $13,000 / $7,000 / $3,500 Single–head mini–split replacing oil: up to $7,000 / $5,000 / $3,000 Single–head mini–split replacing gas or propane: up to $5,500 / $4,500 / $1,000 Replacing electric heat: up to $5,000, income level 1 only

BC Hydro rebate for replacing electric baseboards or an electric furnace with a heat pump. Whole home heating — $4,000 (the heat pump meets 100% of the home's heating needs at –5°C) Partial home heating — $1,500 (the heat pump meets 50% or more of the home's heating needs)

BC Hydro rebate for grid–connected rooftop solar $1000 per kW of installed solar capacity up to a maximum rebate of $5,000 Rebate amount capped at 50% of total installed product cost (including labour and materials) Rules that changed in 2026: since June 1, 2026 the system must be designed and installed by a Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN) member; self–installs are not eligible. Tesla products are not eligible. You must be pre–approved (through the self–generation application) before buying equipment. Rebates are first–come, first–served while funding lasts. Net metering has closed to new customers. Since July 1, 2026 new solar customers go on BC Hydro's self–generation rate (Rate Schedule 2289), which pays 10¢/kWh for exported energy each billing cycle. Accepting the solar rebate puts you on Rate Schedule 2289.

BC Hydro rebate for battery energy storage systems (effective April 1, 2026): $500 per kWh of installed storage capacity Up to $1,500 when paired with solar, or up to $5,000 when enrolled in BC Hydro's Peak Saver program Battery–only systems without Peak Saver are no longer eligible Rebate amount capped at 50% of total installed product cost (including labour and materials) The $5,000 Peak Saver tier applies to very few batteries. As of BC Hydro's October 19, 2026 qualified list, only two products are eligible for Peak Saver: Eguana Evolve and the SolarEdge Energy Bank. You must enroll within 14 calendar days of the system's in–service date. Every other listed battery qualifies only for the solar–paired rebate of up to $1,500. Tesla products are not eligible, and since June 1, 2026 the installer must be a Home Performance Contractor Network (HPCN) member.

A Regional District of Nanaimo rebate of $250 for solar PV, solar hot water, geoexchange or small wind systems installed on homes in RDN Electoral Areas, plus $400 where the system requires and obtains a development variance permit. Applications are accepted January 1 to December 14 each year.

No 7% B.C. PST on solar PV panels, or on the wiring, controllers and inverters bought with and as part of a solar PV system. Components bought separately are taxable. Batteries are not exempt, even when used with solar. Heat pumps are also PST–exempt.

Property–tax financing for solar, available across much of Alberta Status (checked October 26, 2026): intake is limited almost everywhere. Calgary is closed until winter 2026/27. Edmonton and Okotoks are taking waitlist applications only. St. Albert, Airdrie, Canmore, Lethbridge, Spruce Grove, Strathcona County and Rocky Mountain House are closed to new pre–qualification forms. Beaumont, Cold Lake, Jasper, Lac La Biche, Pincher Creek, Sturgeon County and Wetaskiwin are waitlist–only. Leduc is no longer accepting applications, and Grande Prairie's program is full with 2026 its final year of funding. Banff (3% fixed) and Medicine Hat (3.25% fixed) are open. 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 (25 years in some municipalities, such as Lethbridge and Spruce Grove) 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.

An annual Town of Canmore incentive for rooftop solar Applications for 2026 have closed. The Town says to check back for incentives in 2027. 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.

Town of Banff property owners only. The Town of Banff Solar Incentive Program pays $450/kW of installed solar capacity to a maximum of 20 kW ($9,000) for residential properties, and $750/kW to a maximum of 20 kW ($15,000) for commercial properties. Building and development permits are required but the associated fees are waived. Participants must agree to share the story and data of their installation with the community. Xolar does not currently serve Banff – this is listed for reference.

Efficiency Manitoba rebates for cold–climate air source heat pumps. Centrally ducted cold–climate heat pump — $2,000 Ductless cold–climate heat pump — $1,500

Manitoba Hydro financing, with a cap set per technology Manitoba Hydro's Home Energy Efficiency Loan finances energy upgrades at 6.20% (O.A.C.) for the first five years. The maximum and the term depend on what you are installing. Solar photovoltaic system — $20,000 over 15 years (calculated at $3,000 per kW installed) Ground source heat pump — $20,000 over 15 years Cold climate air source heat pump — $10,000 over 15 years Level 2 EV charger — $3,000 over 5 years Insulation, air leakage sealing — $7,500 over 5 years For do–it–yourself projects only materials and equipment are financeable — your own labour is not. Other upgrades share a $12,500 limit per home; with solar or a ground source heat pump, total loans cannot exceed $20,000. After the first five years the rate resets to market rates. The loan is due when the house is sold and is not transferable.

Provincial rebate for residential solar installations up to 10kW Efficiency Manitoba is offering a rebate of $0.50 per direct current (DC) watt installed on homes connected to Manitoba Hydro’s grid, up to a maximum of $5,000 per home. No Efficiency Manitoba pre–approval is needed, but Manitoba Hydro must approve the grid connection before any work starts. Rebates are available for system sizes of up to 10 kW per home. Homeowners can install solar PV systems larger than 10 kW; however, the rebate will be capped at 10 kW and $5,000 per home. If the equipment cost of your new solar PV system is less than the calculated rebate amount, your rebate will be capped at the lesser of the two amounts.

Looking to switch off oil heating? The Enhanced Energy Savings Program can help income–eligible homeowners with a combined household income under $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 under $70,000, the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability (OHPA) program was delivered through the EESP (federal registration closed June 30, 2026) to help 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.

NB Power rebates for qualifying heat pumps Get money back when you install a qualifying cold–climate air source heat pump under the Total Home Energy Savings Program. Equipment must appear on NB Power's qualifying air source heat pump list. Central ducted air source heat pump — $1,500 Mini split (single zone) heat pump — $400 Multizone heat pump — $350 per indoor head (roughly $700–$1,050 on a typical 2–3 head system) Furnace heat pump add–on — $1,000 Geothermal (ground source) heat pump — $2,000 The program starts with a Home Energy Evaluation by a Certified Energy Advisor. The $15,000 oil–to–heat–pump advance payment is closed to new registrations (federal registration closed June 30, 2026).

Moderate–income households can get rebates for heat pumps, insulation and other upgrades. The provincial top–up was reduced from a maximum of $10,000 to $5,000 after the federal Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program closed in Nova Scotia on July 2, 2026. It can be combined with up to $5,000 from the Home Energy Assessment program, for up to $10,000 in total.

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.

Low–interest financing repaid through your property taxes The City of Saskatoon's Home Energy Loan Program (HELP) covers energy efficiency, renewable energy and water–use upgrades, including rooftop solar. Loans are repaid through your property tax bill. Minimum loan $1,000; maximum $40,000 — raised to $60,000 only if you can show the project will cut your home's energy consumption by 50% or more. 2026 interest rates: 5 years 3.24%, 10 years 4.03%, 15 years 4.68%, 20 years 4.83%. A $750 administration fee applies (waived with proof of low income). Battery storage is eligible when paired with solar or other renewable generation. Participants also qualify for a $1,000 rebate covering the cost of the required energy audit. HELP is aimed at substantial upgrades — the City states it is not intended for small changes such as LED bulbs or low–flow shower heads. Don't pay deposits or start work before signing the City's Deferral Agreement: HELP can't be used for work that is already done.

Energy audit rebate, tied to the Saskatoon HELP loan HELP participants are eligible for a $1,000 rebate to cover the cost of the energy audits the program requires. You must take part in the loan portion of HELP to receive the energy audit rebate — it is not available on its own. The City publishes a list of Saskatoon energy auditors familiar with the program.

Yukon government rebate of $800 per kW of generating capacity, up to $5,000, for small renewable systems on homes. Grid–connected solar must be part of Yukon's Micro–generation Program, and new micro–generation intakes are paused for all communities (Yukon government page dated January 22, 2026). Existing micro–generators are not affected. Until intakes reopen, the rebate is practically available only for off–grid buildings.

Incentive for oil–heated homes in Newfoundland and Labrador switching to whole–home electric heat, such as a heat pump. It can cover up to 100% of the cost; the amount depends on the technology installed, household income and household size. The program is retroactive to April 1, 2023 and is still accepting applications, processed while budget is available.

A repayable loan for efficiencyPEI–approved upgrades Eligible applicants can receive a repayable loan of up to $10,000, covering 100% of invoiced costs for work efficiencyPEI has pre–approved. It is now only for homeowners approved under efficiencyPEI's Home Insulation Rebate program. Fixed interest of 5% per annum, repayable over up to 7 years. Only one loan at a time — you may reapply once the first is fully repaid. Rebate amounts for eligible upgrades are deducted from the full loan amount. It does not finance solar PV: PEI's solar rebates ended on April 15, 2026, and the loan now covers insulation upgrades only. You must apply before work begins.

Renewable energy funding for NWT residents Grid–connected solar is not eligible in NWT communities served by hydroelectricity. Solar qualifies only for off–grid buildings or in communities that do not use hydro (diesel–powered communities). The Arctic Energy Alliance funds renewable energy including solar PV, wind, wood–pellet heating, biofuel and ground–source heat pumps. How the amount is worked out. The rebate is the lower of 50% of total eligible project costs (75% for community governments, Indigenous governments and Indigenous development corporations) or, for solar electric projects, $4.00 per watt the system can produce. Caps by applicant type: NWT residents — up to $20,000 for solar PV and most projects (up to $30,000 for biomass heating such as wood–pellet boilers) Most businesses and non–profit organizations — up to $50,000 Community governments, Indigenous governments and Indigenous development corporations — up to $75,000

A grant for homeowners doing the work themselves For homeowners who wish to complete repairs or renovations on their own, the Nunavut Housing Corporation offers a grant of 50% of eligible costs, up to $20,000, under the Home Renovation Program. It is paid as a rebate once the work is complete, up to $20,000 over your lifetime. The Emergency Repair Program grant of up to $15,000 is stackable with it; eligibility is income based and the minimum value of repairs is $1,000. Confirm solar eligibility directly with NHC — the published description covers major repairs and renovations and does not name solar photovoltaic systems.

A forgivable loan for major home repairs and renovations The Nunavut Housing Corporation's Home Renovation Program (HRP) assists Nunavummiut who own and occupy their home to undertake major repairs and/or renovations. A one–time forgivable loan to a maximum of $100,000 — increased from the previous limit of $65,000 — forgivable over ten years. The Emergency Repair Program, a grant of up to $15,000, is stackable with HRP. Minimum repair value $1,000, income–based eligibility. Confirm solar eligibility directly with NHC. The Corporation describes HRP as covering major repairs and renovations and does not publish a list naming solar photovoltaic systems.

PEI ended these equipment rebates on 15 April 2026 efficiencyPEI states that on April 15, 2026, rebates ended for the following equipment upgrades: Air source heat pumps — mini split or central Ground source heat pumps Hybrid water heaters Solar water heaters Heat/energy recovery ventilators ETS heaters through the Summerside Electric Heat for Less Now program Solar Energy Rebates (solar PV) New Home Construction Rebates If you bought eligible equipment between April 15, 2025 and April 15, 2026 you can still apply — efficiencyPEI allows one year from the purchase date. PEI no longer offers a solar PV rebate for new purchases. What remains for Island homeowners is Home Insulation Rebates (with Energy Efficiency Loan Program financing), free home insulation for lower–income households, biomass heating rebates and the Winter Warming Program.

The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed Natural Resources Canada lists this program as closed. December 31, 2025 was the last day to submit documents, and no new applications are being accepted. The Canada Greener Homes Loan is closed as well — Natural Resources Canada states that no further applications can be approved, though applications already approved are unaffected. What is available instead: the Canada Greener Homes Initiative moved to the Oil to Heat Pump Affordability program for homeowners heating with oil (its federal intake closed July 31, 2026 in Alberta, Manitoba, the Northwest Territories, Quebec and Saskatchewan; in Ontario it is delivered through Save on Energy's Energy Affordability Program), and to the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program, which funds no–cost retrofits such as insulation and heat pumps for low– to median–income households through provinces and utilities, rather than paying homeowners directly. NRCan does not list solar PV for either.

Nova Scotia's residential solar rebate, now closed to homeowners SolarHomes was Efficiency Nova Scotia's rebate for residential solar PV. It launched in 2018 and helped over 6,000 Nova Scotia homeowners install solar before closing. Efficiency Nova Scotia stopped accepting new homeowner applications on April 17, 2025. Projects already approved had to be completed by March 31, 2026 to receive the incentive. Still open to non–profits. Efficiency Nova Scotia continues to accept applications from registered non–profit organizations and charities under the Solar for Non–Profit Organizations pilot: a rebate of $0.60 per watt (DC) installed, covering up to 25% of system cost before HST, to a maximum of $15,000. Nova Scotia homeowners installing solar today should look at Nova Scotia Power's Self–Generating Option for net metering, and at Halifax Solar City for municipal financing if the property is within the Halifax Regional Municipality.

Nova Scotia's Home Battery Pilot is closed to new enrollments Efficiency Nova Scotia states the Home Battery Pilot has reached its enrollment limit and is closed to new enrollments. Its effective period ran from 13 October 2022 to 17 January 2025. While it ran, the rebate was $300/kWh of total battery energy capacity or 40% of eligible system costs before HST — whichever was lesser — to a maximum of $2,500, for batteries paired with a new or existing solar PV system. What Nova Scotia homeowners have now: Nova Scotia Power's Self–Generating Option for net metering, and — within the Halifax Regional Municipality — Solar City financing. SolarHomes is also closed to homeowners, though registered non–profits and charities can still apply to the Solar for Non–Profit Organizations pilot.

Rebate ended Tesla's Next Million Powerwall Rebate ended on June 30, 2026. It paid $700 per Powerwall 3 or Powerwall 3 Expansion, up to $1,400.
