Solar Panels in Brampton, Ontario
Brampton's rapid growth and expanding residential areas create ideal conditions for solar. Alectra Utilities provides distribution with solar production of 1,160 kWh per kW annually. Newer homes with larger roofs are particularly well-suited for solar installations.
Ontario's net metering program credits excess solar at the full retail rate. With Time-of-Use billing, solar earns maximum value during on-peak hours (15.7¢/kWh). HRSP ($10K for solar + battery) or net metering available - but not both.
Ontario HRSP - Up to $10,000 for Solar + Battery
Ontario's Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP), launched January 2025, offers:
- Up to $5,000 for solar panels ($1,000/kW)
- Up to $5,000 for battery storage
- Maximum total program rebate: $12,000 (across all eligible upgrades)
Important - HRSP vs. Net Metering: Solar installed under HRSP must be sized for on-site load displacement only - net metering is not permitted under HRSP. If you prefer net metering (earning 1:1 credits for excess solar), you would not apply through HRSP. Your Xolar advisor can help determine which option provides the best return.
Note: The Canada Greener Homes Grant and Loan programs are now closed.

Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in Ontario
Your solar system will connect to the grid via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is saved in credits by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months.
In Ontario, with Time-of-Use billing, On-Peak hours coincide with peak solar generation times, earning you credits at higher On-Peak rates.
Net Metering in Ontario makes it simple for a home solar installation to cover your bills year-round.
Solar System Packages
All packages include professional installation, permits, and 25-year warranty.
