How much you get
No active residential solar grant exists in Edmonton in 2026. The City of Edmonton's own Solar Rebate Program for single-family homes ended in 2023, and the current Change Homes for Climate program covers multi-unit buildings (4+ dwelling units) only — a separate track from single detached homes, and it's a distinct application stream. (See Edmonton's current clean energy programs →)
What is available: CEIP financing for up to $50,000, repaid through your property tax bill over up to 20 years, covering solar PV and solar thermal installations. (See CEIP's renewable energy upgrades →)
Separately, and provincewide: under Alberta's Micro-Generation Regulation (Alta Reg 27/2008), every retailer must credit your solar exports at the same retail rate you pay for imports — a straight 1:1 credit, with no feed-in discount, and any unused credits at year-end are paid out to you. EPCOR's advanced meters in Edmonton are already bi-directional, so most homes need no meter swap — you just notify your retailer once your system is commissioned.
How to claim it
- Apply for CEIP financing and get approved before signing an installer contract, if financing
- Have your solar PV system installed and commissioned by a licensed contractor
- Notify your electricity retailer of your micro-generation status to start earning 1:1 export credits
- Repayment (if using CEIP) is added to your property tax bill
