Hydro-Québec LogisVert Solar Grant
Hydro-Québec's residential solar grant pays CA$1,000 per kW of installed solar capacity, covering up to 40 percent of eligible project costs, which works out at roughly CA$5,000 to CA$6,000 for a typical residential system. It applies to single-family homes, duplexes, triplexes and any building of 19 dwellings or fewer. Panels must have been installed on or after June 30, 2025, and the claim goes through the LogisVert portal after the work, within a maximum of nine months from installation. GET THE CONNECTION REQUEST ACCEPTED BEFORE WORK STARTS: Hydro-Québec must accept the grid connection request before the work begins, and if it does not, the request can be refused and no financial assistance paid at all. That is the trap in this programme. The application itself is made after installation, which misleads people into thinking nothing needs approving first, when in fact the connection authorisation does. Confirm in writing that your installer has it before any equipment goes on the roof. Hydro-Québec projects the grant brings typical residential payback from 25-30 years down to roughly 10-12 years.

Hydro-Québec Net Metering
Hydro-Québec's option d'autoproduction credits surplus solar in kilowatt hours against future bills, at a 1:1 ratio, up to a 1,000 kW cap that is far above any residential need. Article 2.50 of the Conditions de service bars a negative bill, so credits reduce what you owe and never produce a payment. Under article 2.51 the surplus bank is zeroed every 24 months, on 31 March of an even year, and whatever is left at that point is credited at 4.730 cents per kilowatt hour rather than at the retail price you would have paid for the same energy. The practical consequence is that a system sized well above your own annual consumption gives back much less per surplus kilowatt hour than one sized to what you actually use.

Federal Programs (Greener Homes Loan & Affordability Program)
The Canada Greener Homes Loan (interest-free up to $40,000) stopped accepting new applications on October 2, 2025 - only previously approved loans are still being funded. Its replacement, the Canada Greener Homes Affordability Program (CGHAP), launched in September 2025 and delivers no-cost retrofits through provincial partners for low- to median-income households; solar PV is federally eligible but each province sets its own technology list. Canada still has no federal investment tax credit equivalent to the U.S. ITC for residential solar.

Net metering · Quebec
Hydro-Québec option d'autoproduction
Hydro-Québec's option d'autoproduction is 1:1 net metering in kilowatt-hours: surplus kWh enter a banque de surplus and are deducted from later consumption at the customer's own tariff prices, and article 2.50 of the 2026 tariff keeps the bill from going negative. The bank is zeroed every 24 months, on 31 March of an even year, and article 2.51 credits any remaining balance to the account at the average cost of supply, 4.730 cents per kWh, rather than paying it out. Self-generation is capped at 1,000 kW. Residential Tarif D is a two-tier volumetric rate, not time-of-use: 7.065 cents per kWh on the first block (40 kWh times the days in the period) and 11.142 cents on the rest. Six municipalities run their own distributors (Sherbrooke, Saguenay's Jonquière borough, Alma, Magog, Baie-Comeau and Westmount) and are not on this arrangement, as is part of Saint-Hyacinthe, served by the Coopérative d'électricité de Saint-Jean-Baptiste.
Worth checking before you sign:
taking a rebate can change your net-metering terms, and export credit rules
