Protect Yourself from Rising Electricity Costs
The more you pay for electricity, the more you benefit by going solar.

By generating your own power, you reduce your dependence on the grid and keep more money in your pocket every month.
Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in Prince Edward Island
Your solar system connects to the grid through your utility's net metering or net billing program. The excess energy you produce earns credits that offset the power you draw from the grid, balancing your usage across day, night, and seasons.
In Prince Edward Island, the exact credit rate and rules are set by your local utility. A well-sized system can cover a large share of your electricity costs year-round.

Solar FAQs for Prince Edward Island Residents
Get answers to common questions about solar energy in Prince Edward Island.
The efficiencyPEI Solar Electric Rebate has been paused since September 5, 2025, pending 2026-27 funding approval, and remains paused as of April 2026.
It is not currently available to new applicants.
When open, the program offered $0.50/watt for homeowners (max $5,000), $1.25/watt for farms (max $35,000), and $0.35/watt for businesses (max $10,000).
Pre-approval was required before installation.
Check efficiencyPEI.ca for updates on program resumption.
PEI’s net metering with Maritime Electric is excellent – excess energy is credited at the full retail rate (14.37¢/kWh for the first 2,000 kWh block).
This is among the best net metering structures in Canada and significantly accelerates your payback period.
Credits expire annually on October 31st, so it is important to size your system to your usage.
The Energy Efficiency Loan Program (EELP-SERP) offers financing for up to 100% of your solar installation cost at 5% interest over up to 15 years.
However, the loan currently requires efficiencyPEI rebate pre-approval, and that rebate program is paused as of April 2026.
PACE Atlantic financing is available in Charlottetown and Stratford as an alternative.
Check efficiencyPEI.ca for updates on both programs.
With the efficiencyPEI rebate currently paused and the corrected Maritime Electric rate of 14.37¢/kWh (down from a previously stated higher rate), the typical payback period is approximately 12-16 years without the rebate.
If the rebate resumes and you qualify for the $5,000 homeowner amount, payback could improve.
Net metering at full retail rate and PEI’s strong solar resource (1,104 kWh/kW) support long-term savings.
