Yes, solar panels are absolutely worth it in Nova Scotia! With generous government incentives, strong net metering policies, and rising electricity rates, going solar can lead to real long-term savings.

The average cost for a full residential solar system (8–12 kW) in Nova Scotia ranges from $18,000 to $35,000 before incentives. With government rebates, the final cost often drops. That means solid savings, energy independence, and a typical return on investment in 7 to 10 years.

Solar pays off — and faster than most people think!

Yes — through Nova Scotia Power’s Enhanced Net Metering Program, you can send excess solar energy back to the grid and earn full credit on your power bill.

That means your meter literally runs backward when you're overproducing — and you use those credits when you need more power (like at night or in winter).

It’s smart, seamless, and saves you money year-round.
