One of the biggest reasons more homeowners are turning to solar panels in Edmonton is the availability of local rebates and incentives that reduce the upfront cost. If you’ve been holding off because of budget concerns, 2025 may be the year to finally make the switch.
In this article, we’ll break down the key financial incentives currently available in Edmonton, how to qualify, and how they can drastically cut the cost of going solar.
The City of Edmonton’s Multi-Unit Residential Solar Program
Edmonton offers $0.50 per watt toward the cost of solar systems for multi-unit residential properties (4+ units), helping drive the transition to clean energy.
✅ Example: For a 6 kW system per unit, that’s potentially $3,000 per dwelling in rebates.
Program Limits:
- Up to $4,000 per dwelling
- Maximum $100,000 per property owner per year
To qualify:
- The property must be in Edmonton and contain 4 or more permitted units
- Work must be completed by a qualified solar provider
- The installed system must meet safety and performance requirements
📊 As of June 3, 2025, 61.5% of the program’s $2.3 million budget has already been committed — with 2,382 residential units participating. Remaining funds are limited and applications will be prioritized based on remaining availability.
Special $5,000 Rebate from Solar Grade Canada
In place of the now-closed Canada Greener Homes Grant, Solar Grade Canada is offering an exclusive $5,000 rebate to eligible homeowners who choose to go solar in 2025.
This limited-time offer is designed to keep solar accessible and affordable for Edmonton families, even as federal programs change.
Your Provider Handles the Paperwork
The best part? Qualified solar providers in Edmonton handle the paperwork, energy audits, and rebate submissions — so you can focus on the savings.
Don’t Let These Incentives Expire
Many rebate programs are budget-limited or time-sensitive, meaning funds could run out or rules may change. If you’re interested in solar panels in Edmonton, it’s best to act while incentives are still strong.
