The business and non-profit stream of Energy Efficiency Alberta's solar program paid $0.75 per watt on systems up to 5 MW, capped at the lesser of 25% of cost or $500,000. It ran from June 2017 until intake stopped in May 2019.
Businesses and non-profits shared a $36 million program with homeowners but had their own caps — a lower percentage but a far higher dollar ceiling[1].
| Applicant | Rate | Cap | Max system |
|---|---|---|---|
| Business | $0.75/W | Lesser of 25% of cost or $500,000 | 5 MW |
| Non-profit | $0.75/W | Lesser of 25% of cost or $500,000 | 5 MW |
Rates and caps are from the 2017 program announcement[1]; the commercial size limit of 5 MW is from Energy Efficiency Alberta's launch notice[2].
New applications stopped on May 22, 2019, and the program was formally cancelled on November 7, 2019 along with other Energy Efficiency Alberta programs[3].
