Sun Exposure

Prairie climate with highest solar irradiance in Canada

Outstanding – 1,330 kWh per 1 kW of solar panels installed on average (HIGHEST IN CANADA). Saskatchewan is the best province for solar energy production in all of Canada, receiving more sunlight than any other province or territory. Solar installations in Saskatchewan are highly efficient, overperforming to an average of 1,330 kWh of electricity per year for every 1 kW installed. The major population centers receive ample sunlight, surpassing the province’s already impressive average solar panel performance. Your solar system will connect to the grid via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is credited by your power company at roughly half of the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months.

• Peak production in summer months
• Consistent year-round energy production
• Solar panels work in all seasons

Protect Yourself from Rising Electricity Costs

The more you pay for electricity – the more you benefit by going solar.

Choosing solar energy allows you to save money by avoiding these high electricity rates.

The Saskatchewan Energy Board raised all rates by 20% for the year 2024.

With energy prices expected to rise even more, going solar protects you from increasing costs by generating your own power.

Net Metering Program

How Net Metering Works in Saskatchewan

Your solar system will connect to the grid via the Net-Metering program. Excess energy you produce is saved in credits by your power company at the retail electricity rate, balancing out your usage across day and night, as well as summer and winter months.

In Saskatchewan, with Time-of-Use billing, On-Peak hours coincide with peak solar generation times, earning you credits at higher On-Peak rates.

Net Metering in Saskatchewan makes it simple for a home solar installation to cover your bills year-round.

Solar FAQs for Saskatchewan Residents

Get answers to common questions about solar energy in Saskatchewan.

Saskatchewan’s main incentive is the Home Renovation Tax Credit – claim 10.5% of costs (up to $20,000) on provincial taxes for a maximum $2,100 saving. SaskPower’s Net Metering Program allows systems up to 100 kW. Metis Nation members can access up to $15,000 in solar grants. Note: Saskatchewan once led in solar rebates but now offers fewer programs than most provinces.

SaskPower credits excess energy at $0.075/kWh – about half what you pay for electricity (~$0.149/kWh). Credits don’t expire until you close your account. While not 1:1 like some provinces, it still helps offset your bills year-round.

Due to lower net metering rates and limited rebates, payback is typically 15-20 years – longer than most provinces. However, Saskatchewan has exceptional solar potential (highest in Canada), averaging 1,300+ kWh per kW installed, which helps maximize long-term savings.

Yes – Saskatchewan receives more sunlight than any other province. While incentives are limited, high solar production and rising electricity costs still make solar worthwhile for long-term savings and energy independence.
