Solar panel installation prequalifies for this Canada Greener Homes Grant!  This unique opportunity allows Quebec Solar to aid in this development, working in collaboration with the Canadian federal government to essentially assist homeowners in realizing a solar efficient solution to maximize their energy saving potential.

What’s available through the initiative?

Up to $5,000 to help homeowners make energy efficient retrofits to their homes, such as solar panel installation. Eg. any installation bigger than 5kW (12-14 solar panels, depending on their size).

This initiative is time sensitive as it has already created wide interest, as the grant is limited to 700,000 applications.

In addition, EnerGuide evaluations (worth up to an extra $600) and expert advice to homeowners is included in order to obtain assistance in planning their retrofits.

This federal grant is non-taxable, therefore, a direct and clear benefit to the homeowner, says Quebec Solar President Bartek Wlodraczak.
