Good – 949 kWh per 1 kW of solar panels installed on average. Despite Newfoundland and Labrador being behind some other provinces in Canada in terms of amount of sunlight received it’s still a suitable place for solar with new breakthroughs in solar technology. An average solar power installation in Newfoundland and Labrador will produce approximately 949 kWh for every 1KW of solar power installed. New solar technology has ensured that solar installations can reach their baseline production. Your solar system will connect to the grid via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is credited by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months. These credits expire yearly so it’s important that your system is sized based on yearly usage. Expected increases in the costs of electricity and the Net-Metering program in Newfoundland and Labrador make it a great place for solar.

Solar FAQs for Newfoundland and Labrador Residents
Get answers to common questions about solar energy in Newfoundland and Labrador.
Unfortunately, Newfoundland & Labrador has no provincial solar rebates – it’s the toughest province for solar incentives. The government focuses on centralized utility-scale power rather than residential solar. Federal programs like the Canada Greener Homes Grant (up to $5,000) are the main option for homeowners.
Yes, for long-term savings and energy independence. Net metering is available for systems up to 100 kW, allowing you to earn credits for excess production. Rising electricity costs make solar increasingly attractive despite the lack of provincial incentives.
Businesses have more options. The NL Green Technology Tax Credit provides a 20% tax credit for clean energy investments, with unused credits applicable to past 3 years or carried forward 20 years. The Federal Clean Technology Investment Tax Credit offers 30% back on solar installations.
