Prince Edward Island's Clean Energy Future
Prince Edward Island is leading Canada in renewable energy adoption, with ambitious goals to achieve net-zero emissions by 2030. The Island province has already made remarkable progress, generating over 25% of its electricity from wind power and continuing to expand its clean energy infrastructure. PEI's commitment to sustainability, combined with excellent solar irradiation levels and strong government support, makes it an ideal location for residential and commercial solar installations.
Island residents benefit from some of the most favorable renewable energy policies in Atlantic Canada, including comprehensive net metering programs, streamlined interconnection processes, and multiple levels of financial incentives. With Maritime Electric's progressive approach to distributed generation and the province's focus on energy security, now is the optimal time for Islanders to invest in solar energy systems.
Renewable Energy
PEI already generates over 25% of its electricity from renewable sources, primarily wind power, with growing solar adoption.
Net Metering Limit
Residential and small commercial systems up to 100 kW can participate in net metering, selling excess power back to the grid.
Net-Zero Target
PEI has committed to achieving net-zero emissions by 2030, driving continued investment in renewable energy infrastructure.
Why Solar Makes Sense in Prince Edward Island
Despite common misconceptions about solar in Maritime climates, Prince Edward Island receives excellent solar irradiation levels, comparable to many regions of Germany where solar power is highly successful. The Island's coastal location provides consistent weather patterns, moderate temperatures that optimize solar panel efficiency, and long summer days that maximize energy production.
Excellent Solar Resource
PEI receives approximately 1,200-1,300 kWh/m² of solar irradiation annually, providing excellent conditions for solar energy production. Summer months offer up to 16 hours of daylight, while the Island's moderate coastal climate keeps solar panels operating at optimal efficiency levels.
- • Peak sun hours: 4.2-4.5 hours daily average
- • Cool temperatures improve panel efficiency
- • Low pollution levels maximize solar irradiation
- • Consistent weather patterns enable predictable generation
Financial Benefits for Islanders
Island residents face some of Atlantic Canada's highest electricity rates, making solar energy an increasingly attractive investment. With net metering, federal incentives, and rising electricity costs, typical residential solar systems achieve payback periods of 8-12 years while providing 25+ years of clean energy.
- • Electricity rate savings of $0.14-0.16/kWh
- • Hedge against future rate increases
- • Increase property values by 3-5%
- • Generate renewable energy certificates
Available Incentives
Take advantage of these programs designed to help Prince Edward Island residents invest in clean energy.
This federal program provides homeowners across Prince Edward Island with significant financial support for energy efficiency upgrades, including solar panel installations, heat pumps, insulation improvements, and windows and doors.

Prince Edward Island's Net Metering Program allows residential and small commercial customers to connect renewable energy systems up to 100 kW to the electrical grid. When your solar system produces more electricity than you use, the excess energy is fed back into the grid, and you receive a credit at the full retail electricity rate. This program makes solar installations even more financially attractive for PEI residents by ensuring no renewable energy goes to waste.
Commercial and industrial businesses in Prince Edward Island can take advantage of this significant federal tax incentive, which provides a 30% refundable tax credit for eligible clean technology investments, including solar photovoltaic systems, battery storage, and other renewable energy equipment. This program helps businesses reduce their carbon footprint while improving their bottom line through substantial tax savings and reduced energy costs.
Businesses and income-earning individuals in PEI can take advantage of this federal tax incentive that allows for the immediate write-off of the full cost of qualifying clean energy equipment in the year of purchase. This includes solar panels, inverters, mounting systems, and battery storage solutions, providing significant upfront tax savings that improve project economics and cash flow.
The Province of Prince Edward Island offers various energy efficiency programs through efficiency PEI and other provincial initiatives. These programs provide rebates for heat pumps, insulation, energy-efficient appliances, and renewable energy systems. Combined with federal programs, these provincial incentives create comprehensive support for Island residents looking to reduce their energy consumption and transition to clean, renewable energy sources.
