Net Metering Program
How Net Metering Works in Yukon
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 Yukon, 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 Yukon makes it simple for a home solar installation to cover your bills year-round.
Solar System Packages
All packages include professional installation, permits, and 25-year warranty.

Solar FAQs for Watson Lake Residents
Get answers to common questions about solar energy in Watson Lake.
Most Yukon homeowners save $2,200/year on average with solar panels. Actual savings depend on your energy usage, system size, and local electricity rates. With Yukon
Yukon residents can access the Federal Canada Greener Homes Grant (up to $5,000), Canada Greener Homes Loan (interest-free up to $40,000), Yukon Government Good Energy Rebate Program, and Arctic Energy Alliance Programs. These incentives significantly reduce upfront costs and improve payback periods.
The typical payback period in Yukon is 9-13 years. This accounts for territorial and federal incentives, plus energy savings. The combination of high electricity rates, extended summer daylight, and strong rebate programs makes solar financially attractive. After payback, enjoy 15+ years of free electricity.
