How does solar energy work?
Solar photovoltaic (PV) technology uses solar cells to convert sunlight directly into electricity. This can help you manage energy costs, add value to your home, reduce greenhouse gas emissions and help maintain a reliable electricity grid.
Pairing solar panels with battery energy storage can help make your home more resilient. Store excess solar power in your battery to use overnight, on cloudy days, in the event of a power outage, or at times of peak electricity demand.
How to qualify
To receive solar and storage rebates, you must:
Be at least 18 years of age.
Live in a single/semi-detached home or row/townhome.
Own the home where the solar and battery storage systems will be installed. Where an owner has tenants, the owner must apply. You must be the person responsible for paying for the purchase and installation of the solar and battery storage systems.
Be connected to the Ontario electricity grid.‡
