Solar Panels in Huntsville, Ontario - Muskoka Region
Huntsville in the Muskoka region produces 1,050 kWh per kW annually. While lower than southern Ontario, this is still viable for solar. Hydro One distributes electricity. Higher delivery charges in rural areas make solar savings even more valuable.
Ontario’s net metering program credits excess solar at the full retail rate. Battery storage pairs well with solar in cottage country for backup power. HRSP ($10K) 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)
- Battery storage at $300/kWh up to $5,000
- 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
Hydro One offers 1:1 net metering – excess solar earns credits at the full retail rate. With Time–of–Use billing, on–peak credits at 20.3¢/kWh are more than double the off–peak rate. Credits roll over for 12 months. As of May 1, 2026, the simplified micro–embedded generation connection threshold was raised to 12 kW for residential customers (net metering itself remains available for systems up to 500 kW). Ontario's HRSP offers up to $10,000 for solar + battery installations, but solar under HRSP must be sized for load displacement only – net metering is not permitted under HRSP. Customers must choose one or the other.
