Rebates & Financing

The solar industry is fortunate to have some great rebates incentivising people to invest in renewable energy technology. There are rebates available for either commercial or residential solar projects.

Rebates

Nova Scotia Solarhomes Program

Efficiency Nova Scotia offers incentives to homeowners for solar PV systems to make solar electricity more affordable than ever. The SolarHomes program helps Nova Scotians harness the sun’s energy by offering rebates on approved solar PV systems. 

The Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit

The Federal Government has announced a tax credit for businesses investing in solar energy starting in Spring 2023. The Clean Technology ITC would provide a 20–30% refundable credit, based on the capital cost of qualifying equipment.

Financing

Canada Greener Homes Loan

The Canada Greener Homes Loan helps Canadians make their homes more energy-efficient and comfortable. It offers interest-free financing up to $40,000, in addition to the Canada Greener Homes Grant to help you complete some of the more major retrofits recommended by your energy advisor.

Halifax Solar City Program

The Solar City program offers property owners in the municipality access to innovative solar energy options, which can be financed through a solar collector account with the Halifax Regional Municipality.
