Question

Are there any Canadian Grants/Tax Benifits for installing and using Green Energy sources in your home - such as putting in solar panels, windmills, etc?

I've been thinking of using alternative energy sources when I buy my own house. However I know they are expensive. I was hoping that the government would have some sort of Tax break or grant or some way of financially helping with this sort of thing.

Also, if there is a website or phone number of relevance where I can get more information on this, I'd really appreciate it.

Thanks.

Answer 1

The benefit is in knowing you did the right thing.

Answer 2

Yes there are, although they are not amazing in my opinion. However, if you are doing the work anyways, might as well get the benefits....

Below is the gov of canada website dealing with eco- rebates, also a site for finding renewable professionals who can do the work.
