Solar Performance in Prince Albert
System Effectiveness
Saskatchewan is the best province for solar energy production in all of Canada, receiving more sunlight than any other province or territory. Prince Albert is situated in a prime region of the province for sunlight, and it has some of the best solar potential in the country. Solar installations in Prince Albert are highly efficient, overperforming to an average of 1,300 kWh of electricity per year for every 1 kW installed. Saskatchewan has the fourth highest electricity costs of Canadian provinces. Saskatchewan’s power prices are about 25% higher than the national average. Saskatchewan also tends to have power rate increases of 1–3% yearly. 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. With energy prices expected to rise, going solar protects you from increasing costs by generating your own power.

Solar Panels in Prince Albert, Saskatchewan
Prince Albert benefits from Saskatchewan’s exceptional solar irradiance at 1,300 kWh/kW – among the highest in Canada. SaskPower provides electricity with net metering credits at 7.5¢/kWh. While payback is longer than provinces with retail-rate credits (13-17 years), rising SaskPower rates (3.9% increase in 2026) improve the long-term economics.
Prince Albert’s northern location still delivers excellent solar production – more than Toronto, Vancouver, or Montreal – thanks to Saskatchewan’s exceptional solar resource.
SaskPower Net Metering in Prince Albert
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.
