Why Go Solar Now
Ontario Hydro Rates Have Risen Every Year for a Decade.
And they won't stop. A properly designed solar system protects you from those increases for 25+ years, earns you credits through Ontario's net metering program, and pays for itself — then keeps paying you back for decades after that.
Solar Canada designs and installs residential solar PV systems for Ontario homeowners from Cambridge to the GTA and across Southern Ontario. We handle everything from site assessment to utility activation.
Everything Included in a Solar Canada Residential Installation
What You Get -
We design and install the full stack of clean energy technology for Ontario homes and businesses.
Cut Your Monthly Hydro Bill
Most Ontario homeowners reduce their electricity bill by 60–100% after going solar. Exact savings depend on system size, roof orientation, and your local utility rate.
Optional Battery Backup
Add battery storage and keep your home running during Ontario outages. Ideal for ice storms and summer peak events when grid reliability matters most.
Access Government Grants & Loans
Between federal programs and provincial rebates, many homeowners offset $5,000–$10,600 of their total installation cost. We handle all grant applications for you.
Full Permits & ESA Handled
We manage building permits, ESA electrical inspection, and utility net metering application. You don't make a single call to a bureaucrat. We do all of it.
Increase Your Home's Value
Solar installations consistently add $10,000–$15,000 in resale value — often more than the net cost of the system after grants are applied.
25-Year Production Warranty
Solar panels last. Every system we install comes with a 25-year production warranty — meaning your investment is protected for a full generation of clean energy production.

Common Questions About Residential Solar in Ontario
Is solar worth it in ontar climates?
Yes. Ontario averages 4–5 peak sun hours per day — enough to run a well-designed solar system profitably year-round. Even in winter, panels produce meaningful energy. Most Ontario homeowners see payback in 7–10 years, with 15+ years of pure savings after that.
How much does solar cost?
A typical Ontario home solar installation ranges from $15,000–$30,000 before grants. After the Canada Greener Homes Grant ($5,000), provincial rebates, and available financing, your net out-of-pocket cost is significantly lower. We build a full cost breakdown in every proposal.
How does net metering work?
When your solar panels generate more electricity than you use, the surplus is credited to your hydro account at a 1:1 rate — the same rate you pay. Credits carry forward for up to 12 months. This means overproduction in summer offsets your winter bills.
How long does solar take to install?
Most residential installations are completed in 1–2 days on-site. Permitting and utility approval can add 4–8 weeks to the overall timeline — but we manage all of that for you. From first call to activated system, expect 6–10 weeks total.
What grants are available for solar in 2026
The main programs are the Canada Greener Homes Grant (up to $5,000 for solar) and provincial rebates for heat pumps and insulation. The full Net Zero package totals up to $10,600. See our Grants & Rebates page for full details.
