house solar panels
If I wanted to install solar panels on my house, are there any grants or subsidies in Canada to help me?
It just seems strange that looking around there is no financial incentive or assistance to make this eco-step. I’d do it if there was any kind of help but without that endorsement I’m almost wondering if there is a drawback to doing it.
I have had solar panels for years and they still work great.
If your electric bill was 100 dollars a month, a solar electric system last about 30 years so 100 times 30 = 36000 dollars. So you can break even without incentives. Plus you don’t pay taxes on your home made electric or franchise taxes or any other fee on what you produce. Sale your home add 20% to the cost of the install and make a profit and have free electric for the last so many years.
So the incentives are already built in even without help from outside. There are some links on this page that can help prove solar pays off. And there is a link to a site that shows you what the incentives are in your state. http://www.oynot.com/how-solar.html
