FindSolar.caSolar rebates and incentives in Canada, verified.
Every amount below was verified against the linked official program page, July 2026. Programs change and cap out without notice; the official link always governs.
Residential solar rebates paying right now
Provincial and utility programs open to homeowners as of our latest verification. The official page always governs.
$1,000 per kW back, up to $5,000
Home Renovation Savings also pays up to $5,000 for battery storage. The catch: the system must run as non-export load displacement, which rules out net metering for that system. Read our guide to the choice before you sign anything.
$1,000 per installed kW
Hydro-Québec's LogisVert program pays per kilowatt of solar, capped at 40% of eligible purchase and installation costs. Eligibility, installation and documentation requirements apply.
$1,000 per kW, up to $5,000
BC Hydro pays for solar with battery incentives available on top. Pre-approval and eligible equipment rules apply, and the pay for exported power changes July 1, 2026: read what changes before you size a system.
$0.50 per DC watt, up to $5,000
Efficiency Manitoba's home solar rebate pays by the watt, with eligibility and technical requirements set out on the program page.
Up to $20,000 for residents
The Arctic Energy Alliance's renewable energy rebate carries the largest resident cap in the country, with location and grid eligibility restrictions, including limits in hydro communities.
No matching program is currently listed for the other provinces; net metering value and honest payback math carry the case there. That can change: this page gets re-verified, and the federal picture is its own story.
Business and farm solar incentives
Commercial, institutional and agricultural programs open as of our latest verification.
$0.75 per DC watt for business
Efficiency Manitoba's business solar rebate pays a higher per-watt rate than the residential program. Pre-approval is required, and project and eligibility limits apply.
Up to $30,000 per project
Efficiency Nova Scotia runs a production-based incentive for commercial solar PV, capped at $30,000 per project or 50% of eligible material costs. Pre-approval is required and the program guide governs eligibility.
Farms: up to $0.60 per watt
On-farm efficiency support for solar on qualifying agricultural operations, subject to project and program caps. Verify current eligible costs before anyone quotes you.
Assistance for commercial solar PV
Hydro-Québec's Efficient Solutions program supports solar for commercial, institutional, industrial and agricultural customers, with assistance based on program rules and eligible costs.
Higher caps for business classes
The Arctic Energy Alliance applies higher caps for some business and community applicant classes, with the same location and grid restrictions as the resident program.
On top of these, eligible businesses and farms have four federal tax levers, and there is no general federal credit for homeowners. Who actually gets a solar tax credit sorts it out.
