Edmonton’s Change Homes for Climate Solar Rebate Program is reopening and will provide financial incentives to multi-unit buildings that install rooftop solar photovoltaic systems.
The city has committed $1.3 million in rebates to the program, which will be available to properties with four or more permitted dwellings.
“By making solar energy accessible to a wider range of residents, especially those living in multi-unit buildings, we’re ensuring that everyone has the opportunity to benefit from affordable renewable energy,” said Coun. Michael Janz.
“This is about equity and ensuring that all our communities can participate in, and benefit from, our energy transition.”
Applications for the program will open on July 2 and rebates will be given out on a first-come, first-serve basis, the City of Edmonton said Tuesday.
Eligible solar systems must be installed by Dec. 16, 2024.
Single-family residential homeowners in Edmonton were offered similar rebates from 2019 to 2023. Lisa Dockman, climate resilience program manager with the City of Edmonton, said nearly 2,000 Edmonton homeowners have installed rooftop solar panels.
