Tax credit
#01
Federal Clean Technology ITC (not available to homeowners)
Quotes and calculators often apply a 30 percent federal Clean Technology investment tax credit to a residential solar or battery project. It does not apply. Income Tax Act subsection 127.45(1) defines a qualifying taxpayer as a taxable Canadian corporation or a mutual fund trust that is a real estate investment trust, so an individual homeowner cannot claim the credit however the purchase is financed. Canada has no federal investment tax credit equivalent to the U.S. residential credit, so treat any price reduced on this basis as an error.

#02
NL Net Metering
Newfoundland Power and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro both run genuine net metering. Within a billing month, generation is credited in kilowatt hours at the rate for your own class of service, capped at the energy the utility supplied that month, and any surplus banks forward. Check which of the two serves your address, since the application goes to them. Ask also about the province-wide cap on total customer-owned generation, which is shared and finite, and therefore a question of timing rather than of technology.
Net metering · Newfoundland and Labrador
Net Metering Service Option under a 5.0 MW provincial cap
Newfoundland Power and Newfoundland and Labrador Hydro both run genuine net metering: within a billing month, generation is credited in kilowatt-hours at the rate for the customer's own class of service, capped at the energy the utility supplied that month, and any surplus banks forward. Banked credits are settled once a year at a wholesale figure rather than at retail. Both tariffs carry the same trigger: availability will be closed once the provincial aggregate net metering capacity of 5.0 MW has been met. Neither utility publishes the remaining headroom, and NL Hydro's public net metering page never mentions the cap, so a homeowner cannot learn from it that the programme can close. Systems are limited to 100 kW and must be designed not to exceed the premises' annual energy needs. Newfoundland Power's island residential energy charge is 15.587 cents per kWh; NL Hydro serves Labrador directly at 3.154 cents per kWh on the Labrador Interconnected system, low enough that a rooftop system does not pay back there whatever the net metering terms say.
Worth checking before you sign:
taking a rebate can change your net-metering terms, and export credit rules
differ by utility. Your matched installer confirms the exact numbers for
your address.

"We had difficulty with our monitoring site ans called for help. Ken not only got us back on the site, but introduced us to some new features. He spent a great deal of time with us and was patient and gave clear instructions as he walked us through the process. Very satisfied with support."
