Continue reading to learn more about this new and exciting solar incentive. We’ll be covering eligibility, system requirements, and why the Save On Energy commercial solar funding makes now the best time to invest in solar.

Save On Energy 2025 Solar Incentive: Eligibility and Requirements

Save On Energy is offering amazing returns on new commercial solar installations, but there are specific requirements that need to be met for eligibility. Here’s what you need to know:

• The incentive is only available for Ontario businesses.
• The incentive stacks with other funding streams, such as the Clean Technology (CT) Investment Tax Credit (ITC). This has granted Ontario businesses quicker financial returns on solar investment than ever before. There are many eligible funding options to maximize your solar installation savings. 
• This solar needs to be installed in a ‘load displacement’ or ‘behind the meter’ configuration, meaning net-metering systems are not eligible. All solar power generated must be consumed completely on-site. To meet this requirement, very specific sizing and careful modelling will be needed during the solar installation process. This is not easy to do on your own, and requires a solar energy expert with stellar excel skills.
• If you own multiple sites, you can apply at multiple sites. We have many clients who have us looking at every building in their Ontario portfolio.

We can’t be certain how long funding for this program will last, make sure to take a hold of this opportunity while it lasts. With new provincial and federal elections on the horizon, there’s no telling how the landscape of solar energy funding could change. Funding could also run out before the end of 2025. Don’t miss out on the savings potential of this new solar incentive, now is a better time to invest in solar energy than ever before! 

The money saved with Save On Energy’s 2025 solar incentive is unlike anything we’ve seen in solar installation. Here’s a snapshot of approximate returns based on what other Ontario businesses with optimal installs are seeing:

• Approximately 3-5 year payback timelines.
• Approx. 65% off total project costs.

VCT Group’s Solar Planning Process

To make the most of this incentive, your project needs precise solar planning and modelling. When you reach out to us about Save On Energy’s new solar incentive, this is what our process will look like: 

1. We examine the historical electricity consumption of your building — how much power is used on weekdays vs. weekends, winter vs. summer, day vs. night, etc
2. We analyze your electricity consumption and compare that with the expected solar generation. We use this analysis to determine how often your solar system might ‘clip’ (clipping occurs when your solar system meets its maximum power output). 
3. We then design a solar array that aligns with your historical consumption. Since net metering is not allowed with this solar incentive, our design ensures you’re not producing excess energy you don’t need. 
4. Our financial modelling accounts for eligible grants, incentives, tax credits, and potential clipping losses. We give you the most accurate idea of what your solar ROI will look like. 

Don’t wait! This solar incentive won’t last forever. Get in touch with VCT Group for a free, non-obligation site assessment.
