Clean Technology ITC (30%)

30% refundable

For incorporated businesses: a 30% refundable tax credit on the cost of solar equipment. This is real cash back from CRA, not just a deduction. The golden window runs 2026-2029 at full rates.

100% Capital Cost Allowance (CCA)

100% Year 1

Businesses can write off 100% of the net solar system cost (after ITC) in the first year under Class 43.1/43.2. This dramatically reduces taxable income.

SaskPower Net Metering Details

SaskPower's net metering program is the most valuable incentive for Saskatchewan solar owners. When your system produces more power than you use, the excess goes to the grid and you receive credits at the retail electricity rate.

Credits are applied at the full retail rate (currently approximately $0.18/kWh). They carry forward for 12 months and are available for systems up to 100 kW. The interconnection process is straightforward and our team handles the paperwork for you.

Federal Programs for Saskatchewan Residents and Businesses

The Canada Greener Homes Grant ended in 2024 — Saskatchewan residential customers no longer have a federal grant available. The strongest federal solar economics in 2026 are reserved for incorporated entities.

For incorporated businesses and farms, the Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit (CT ITC) offers a 30% refundable credit on solar equipment — real cash back from CRA, not a deduction. Combined with 100% Capital Cost Allowance (CCA) in the first year and full GST recovery on the system cost, the effective cost reduction for commercial solar is substantial. The golden window for these incentives at full rates runs 2026–2029.

Utility Note: SaskPower is the primary electricity provider for Saskatchewan. All interconnection requests for net metering go through SaskPower. The process typically takes 4-8 weeks for residential systems.

FAQ

Frequently asked questions.

When your solar system produces more power than you use, the excess flows to the grid and you receive credits on your bill at the retail electricity rate. Credits carry forward for 12 months.
Most residential systems pay back in 8-12 years, depending on system size and electricity usage. With net metering credits, solar is an excellent investment.
None directly. The Canada Greener Homes Grant was wound down in 2024 and is no longer accepting new applications. Federal solar support in 2026 is structured around businesses: incorporated companies and farms can stack the 30% Clean Technology ITC, 100% Capital Cost Allowance in year one, and full GST recovery on system cost. Residential customers benefit from SaskPower net metering (retail-rate credits).
Yes! An incorporated business can claim the CT ITC (30%) AND CCA (100%) AND GST recovery on the same system. However, CCA is calculated on the net cost after the ITC reduces the capital cost base.
The golden window runs through 2029 with all incentives at full rates. CCA begins phasing down in 2030. The CT ITC drops to 15% in 2034 and ends after that. SaskPower net metering is available until March 31, 2029.
