The net-metering tradeoff

Common questions
Does Ontario have a solar rebate for Cambridge homeowners?
Ontario doesn't have a dedicated provincial solar rebate right now, but net metering lets you sell excess power back to the grid, and some municipalities and utilities run their own incentives worth checking for Cambridge specifically.
Is solar worth it in Cambridge?
Ontario gets solid sun hours for solar, especially spring through fall. Without a rebate, payback typically runs 10–15 years depending on system size and your local electricity rates.
