Protect Yourself from Rising Electricity Costs
The more you pay for electricity, the more you benefit by going solar.
Electricity rates across Yukon have risen steadily over the past several years, and further increases are expected.
Locking in your energy costs with solar protects your household from future rate hikes.
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 Yukon
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 Yukon, 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 Yukon Residents
Get answers to common questions about solar energy in Yukon.
Most Yukon homeowners save around $1,800 per year with solar panels, depending on energy usage, system size, and local electricity rates.
With Yukon’s high electricity rates, solar can offset a large share of your power bill.
Note that new grid-tied micro-generation applications are paused as of January 2026, so confirm the current program status before installing.
The primary incentive for Yukon residents is the Yukon Government Good Energy rebate ($800/kW, up to $5,000).
However, as of January 16, 2026, the Yukon micro-generation program has been paused indefinitely due to grid stability concerns, meaning new grid-tied solar applications cannot currently receive approval.
Off-grid systems and diesel communities such as Watson Lake remain eligible for the Good Energy rebate.
The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant closed to new applicants in March 2024, and the Greener Homes Loan closed October 1, 2025.
Neither is available to new applicants.
The payback period for Yukon solar depends heavily on your situation.
As of June 2026, new grid-tied micro-generation applications are paused indefinitely, meaning most Whitehorse-area homeowners cannot currently connect a new solar system to the grid.
For off-grid installations and diesel communities such as Watson Lake, payback is typically 10-15 years with the Good Energy rebate ($800/kW, up to $5,000).
Off-grid and diesel-community homeowners should contact us to assess their specific site and savings potential.
Most residential installations in Yukon take 1-3 months from contract to activation.
This includes design, permits, equipment procurement, and installation.
We handle all Yukon-specific permits and regulations, including ATCO Electric Yukon grid connections and Good Energy Rebate Program requirements.
