Current Incentives

Stack the savings —
especially for farms & businesses

The federal and provincial incentive landscape has changed significantly. For commercial properties and farms, the remaining programs are powerful — and they stack for a dramatically lower net cost.

Always confirm current eligibility with your accountant before proceeding. We stay current on program changes so you don't have to — and we build the full incentive picture into every commercial and farm quote.

Federal

Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit

30% refundable

A refundable federal tax credit on the full capital cost of eligible solar PV and battery storage systems. This is the most significant current incentive — refundable means you receive it even if it exceeds your tax owing.

Eligible: Corporations, farms, businesses · Available through 2034
Atlantic Region

Atlantic Investment Tax Credit

10% additional

NB businesses and farms can stack this regional credit on top of the CT ITC. It applies to qualifying energy generation property in New Brunswick and the other Atlantic provinces — making Atlantic Canada uniquely advantaged.

Eligible: Businesses & farms in Atlantic Canada · Stackable with CT ITC
Federal

Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance

100% year-one write-off

Under CCA Class 43.1/43.2, businesses and farms can write off the full cost of eligible solar equipment in the first year — significantly improving after-tax cash flow in the year of installation.

📈

NB Power Rates Up 35% Since 2023

The residential rate hit 15.39¢/kWh in April 2026 — up 34.9% since 2023. NB Power has publicly forecast further increases of around 6.5% annually. Every rate hike increases your solar payback.

☀️

NB Gets More Sun Than You Think

New Brunswick averages 4.2 peak sun hours per day — enough to make solar genuinely economical, especially across the valley's open farmland and rural properties.

Net Metering at Full Retail Rate

Export excess power to the grid at 15.39¢/kWh — the full retail rate. Credits roll forward monthly. Carleton County properties typically bank summer surplus to offset winter bills.

🌾

Ideal for Farms & Rural Properties

Open land and large roof areas make Carleton County farms outstanding candidates. The CT ITC + Atlantic ITC combination is especially compelling for incorporated agricultural operations.

    FAQ

    Common questions

    Absolutely. Panels perform better in cold, clear weather — heat reduces efficiency. Snow slides off quickly on angled roofs, and NB summer days more than compensate for shorter winters. Systems are sized accounting for seasonal variation.
    Both programs are closed. The Greener Homes Grant ended in early 2024, and the Greener Homes Loan stopped accepting new applications October 1, 2025. For homeowners, the NB provincial rebate (up to $3,000, deadline May 27, 2026) and NB Power net metering are now the primary programs. Businesses and farms still have very strong federal options.
    Yes — this is one of the most compelling aspects of commercial solar in Atlantic Canada right now. The 30% CT ITC, the 10% Atlantic Investment Tax Credit, the 100% first-year Accelerated CCA, and the NB Business Rebate (up to $250,000) can all be stacked. Combined, they can reduce effective net cost by over 50% in year one. Your accountant should confirm eligibility for your specific situation.
    Save Energy NB's solar rebate program closes registration May 27, 2026, and installations must be complete by January 31, 2027. Miss the registration window and you lose up to $3,000 for homes or up to $250,000 for businesses. Contact us now to confirm you can get into the queue in time.
    Excess electricity you generate spins your meter backward and you receive a credit at the full retail rate (currently 15.39¢/kWh). Credits roll forward monthly. With NB Power raising rates 35% since 2023 and forecasting further increases, your net metering credits grow in value over time.
    A typical residential system takes 1–2 days on your roof. The full process from signed quote to live on the grid — including NB Power interconnection and municipal permits — usually takes 6–10 weeks. We handle all the approvals.
