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
Arctic Energy Alliance Rebates
The Arctic Energy Alliance has offered rebates for residential renewable and storage installations in the territory. Amounts and eligibility change, so confirm the current programme directly rather than working from a figure in an older article or a quote. Ask specifically whether storage is covered and at what rate, since in a territory with this much winter darkness the storage decision usually carries the project.
Net metering
#03
NTPC Net Metering
The territorial programme is genuine net metering: you receive a credit in kilowatt hours equal to your excess energy, valued at the full retail rate, and unused credits reset to zero at the end of March each year. It is run jointly by three distributors, so which one you apply to depends on your community. Confirm that first, then size the array to your own annual consumption, because the March reset means surplus beyond your yearly use is given up rather than carried.

NWT net metering with per-community capacity caps
The Northwest Territories programme is genuine net metering: a customer receives a credit in kilowatt-hours equal to the excess energy, valued at the full retail rate, and unused credits reset to zero at the end of March each year. It is run jointly by three distributors and which one you apply to depends on where you live: the Northwest Territories Power Corporation takes applications for the communities it serves directly, including Fort Smith and Inuvik, Naka Power (Yellowknife) bills Yellowknife, and Naka Power (NWT) handles Hay River from an office in town. NTPC generates the power in all three cases, so the plant behind your meter and the company that bills you are usually not the same organisation. Installations are limited to a rated capacity generally not exceeding 15 kW, but the binding constraint is capacity, not size: NTPC publishes a Renewable Microgrid Capacity by Community schedule setting the intermittent renewable capacity allowed per community and the capacity still available, and several communities show none, so headroom must be confirmed first. Whether a community runs on hydro or on isolated diesel decides the rest: Yellowknife (Snare and Bluefish), Hay River and Fort Smith (Taltson) are hydro-served and do not qualify for the Arctic Energy Alliance solar rebate, which is reserved for non-hydro communities, while Inuvik is on thermal generation.
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."
