Net metering by Hydro helps maximize the value of your solar system by letting you earn credits for the extra electricity you produce and send to the grid. Instead of losing that unused energy, the credits reduce your future bills when your system isn’t producing enough power. Over time, this can significantly lower your household’s energy costs, improve your return on investment, and make solar a more affordable, long-term solution for clean energy. The Ontario government is offering incentives to help homeowners save on solar installations such as the Home Renovation Savings Program , making it more affordable to switch to clean, renewable energy. No energy audit is required to access this rebate, so your system can be installed faster.
