Solar Panels in Estevan - Highest Production in Canada
Estevan produces more solar energy per kW than any other city in Canada at 1,400 kWh/kW. Known as the “Sunshine Capital of Canada,” Estevan’s extreme production partially offsets SaskPower’s 7.5¢/kWh net metering credit.
A 10kW system in Estevan generates approximately 14,000 kWh per year – more than the same system would produce in Calgary, Toronto, or any other Canadian city.
Saskatchewan has the highest solar irradiance in Canada, and Estevan sits at the very top.
SaskPower Net Metering in Estevan
SaskPower’s net metering program allows residential systems up to 100 kW. Excess energy is credited at 7.5¢/kWh – credits never expire until your account closes.
The current net metering program has been extended to March 31, 2029. Terms after 2029 have not been announced.
There is no provincial solar rebate from SaskPower. The federal Greener Homes programs are now closed.
