A few Canadian programs now pay for home battery storage, usually when it's paired with solar or enrolled in a utility program. Rules on sizing, installers and grid connection vary a lot. Here's where battery rebates exist and what each one requires.

Home battery rebates
General advice. Each program’s own rules come first.
- Check the pairing rules
- Many battery rebates only apply when the battery is installed with new solar, not added to an existing system.
- Size it for what you need
- Decide whether you want backup power for essentials or daily bill savings. The answer changes the size and cost.
- Confirm utility approval
- Your utility may need to approve the interconnection before installation.
