Saskatchewan — Exceptional Solar Potential
Saskatchewan is one of the sunniest provinces in Canada, with cities like Saskatoon and Regina receiving 2,200–2,400 hours of annual sunshine — comparable to Calgary and far exceeding Toronto, Vancouver, and Montreal. This exceptional solar resource means Saskatchewan homeowners get more power per panel than most other provinces.
Saskatchewan’s flat terrain and wide-open spaces make both rooftop and ground-mount solar installations practical options. Ground-mount systems can be optimally angled for maximum production without rooftop constraints — a popular choice for rural properties and farms.
Saskatchewan Solar Incentives (2026)
SaskPower Net Metering Program
SaskPower allows residential, farm, and commercial customers to install solar systems up to 100 kW and earn credits for excess energy at a fixed rate of 7.5 cents per kWh. Credits are applied to future electricity bills and do not expire until the account is closed — one of the most favourable credit retention policies in Canada.
Farm Solar Programs
SaskPower offers a Solar or Wind-powered Water Pump Grant covering 50% of the cost above $500 for systems used in livestock watering. Saskatchewan’s agricultural sector is increasingly adopting solar for farm operations, grain drying, and rural energy needs.
SaskPower Rate Context
Current residential rates are approximately 14 cents per kWh. When you use your solar system’s electricity directly, you avoid this full cost; when you export excess, you earn 7.5¢/kWh in credits. Maximizing self-consumption is the key to the fastest payback.
Federal Greener Homes Loan — Ended
The $40,000 interest-free loan closed October 2025. SaskPower net metering remains the primary incentive.
Solar Costs in Saskatchewan
A typical residential solar installation costs $2.50 to $3.50 per watt, putting a 6–8 kW system between $15,000 and $28,000 before any incentives. The typical payback period is 10–14 years depending on system size, self-consumption ratio, and energy usage patterns.

Prairie climate with highest solar irradiance in Canada
Outstanding – 1,330 kWh per 1 kW of solar panels installed on average (HIGHEST IN CANADA). Saskatchewan is the best province for solar energy production in all of Canada, receiving more sunlight than any other province or territory. Solar installations in Saskatchewan are highly efficient, overperforming to an average of 1,330 kWh of electricity per year for every 1 kW installed. The major population centers receive ample sunlight, surpassing the province’s already impressive average solar panel performance.

Protect Yourself from Rising Electricity Costs
The more you pay for electricity – the more you benefit by going solar.
Choosing solar energy allows you to save money by avoiding these high electricity rates.
The Saskatchewan Energy Board raised all rates by 20% for the year 2024.
With energy prices expected to rise even more, going solar protects you from increasing costs by generating your own power.
Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in Saskatchewan
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 Saskatchewan, 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 Saskatchewan makes it simple for a home solar installation to cover your bills year-round.

This is something we've wanted to do for a long time but it was not financially available to us until now. We're excited to research more and lessen our footprint on the environment. TY Xolar"
