Nova Scotia Solar Water Heating Rebate Program

A rebate of 10% of the installed cost of a solar water heating system for residential or commercial use (up to $5,000 including HST) is available from the Nova Scotia Department of Energy. Systems include those used for domestic use, process use, space heating and year-round pool heating.

Programs and incentives currently do not exist for use of solar to provide electricity to run home or office loads. The federal government does have programs for use of solar thermal, and limited funding for retrofits ( as little as $50-100).

You may wish to contact your MP or MLA (links for Nova Scotia attached) to suggest incentives be available for home and business owners wishing to reduce their green house gas emissions, and use natural energy to power their homes and businesses.
