The Ontario Home Renovation Savings Program offers up to $10,000 for eligible solar and battery systems. The key word is ‘eligible’, because eligibility is very narrow, and may not match your project objectives. Read our assessment here – the details are important to understand. Other notes for the OHRSP:
- Only roof mounted solar arrays are eligible, not ground mounts
- Vacation properties are eligible.
- It’s one grant per property, so a single owner can get the grant multiple times across multiple properties
- Grid tie only, no off grid
- Maximizing the grant requires the use of batteries
- Batteries are only eligible whe installed together with solar
- Net metering is not eligible (see our assessment, above), and participating in the grant program will make you, and any future home owner, ineligible for net metering
- They will be auditing projects and can claw back the rebate if your project is found to be non-compliant
- We need to be closely involved in these applications, and we must submit a range of documents before and after the project
