Edmonton Solar Rebate Program
The Edmonton Solar Rebate Program is now fully subscribed and is no longer taking new applicants. Funding is still available to projects participating in the CEIP program.
The Edmonton Solar Rebate Program is a stackable rebate that offers Edmonton homeowners $0.40/watt towards the cost of a solar system. This works out to cover approximately 15% of the costs of going solar. This rebate can be stacked with the Greener Homes Grant program, up to a maximum of 100% of the total investment made by the homeowner. Newly constructed homes and residential buildings are also eligible for a City of Edmonton rebate of $0.30/watt.
