Incentives & rebates

Home Renovation Savings Program (HRSP) - Solar & Battery

Ontario's flagship residential energy program (launched January 2025, expanded for the 2026-27 program year running April 1, 2026 to March 31, 2027) provides combined rebates of up to $10,000 for solar PV paired with battery storage. Note: homeowners taking the HRSP solar incentive are generally directed to a load-displacement configuration rather than full net metering - confirm the current rules with your installer before applying.

Federal Programs (Greener Homes Loan & Affordability Program)

The Canada Greener Homes Loan (interest-free up to $40,000) stopped accepting new applications on October 2, 2025 - funding is fully committed and only previously approved loans are being funded. Its replacement, the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP), launched in September 2025 and delivers no-cost retrofits through provincial partners for low- to median-income households; solar PV is federally eligible but each province sets its own technology list. Canada still has no federal investment tax credit equivalent to the U.S. ITC for residential solar.

Local Utility & Municipal Programs

Some Ontario municipalities and local utilities periodically offer financing (e.g. local improvement charge / on-bill financing) or efficiency programs that can apply to solar. Availability is local and changes frequently - confirm what is currently offered in your service area.

Net metering: Net metering at retail rate

Ontario offers net metering through local distribution utilities: exported solar is credited kWh-for-kWh at the retail electricity rate against future bills, with credits carried forward up to 12 months and no cash payment for annual net excess. Time-of-use pricing makes self-consumption and storage more valuable.

Frequently asked questions

How much do solar panels cost in Ontario?
Ontario solar averages roughly CA$2.90 per watt installed, so a typical 7.5 kW system costs about CA$20,000-CA$24,000 before any programs. Unlike the U.S., Canada has no federal solar tax credit, so most of the value comes from long-term net-metering bill savings.
Does Ontario have net metering?
Yes. Ontario homeowners can net meter through their local distribution utility: exported solar is credited kWh-for-kWh at the retail rate against future bills, with credits carried forward for up to 12 months and no cash payout for net annual excess.
Are there solar rebates in Ontario?
Canada has no equivalent of the U.S. federal solar tax credit. Federal and provincial home-energy programs (and low-interest loan offerings) come and go, so verify which federal and Ontario programs are currently active before you buy rather than assuming a specific rebate.
Is solar worth it in Ontario?
For many homes, yes - but paybacks are longer than in the U.S. because there is no upfront federal tax credit. A typical system pays for itself in roughly 10-13 years through net-metering savings, then generates low-cost power for its remaining 20+ year life.
