What You Can Claim for Each Project
🔋 Battery + solar
Tesla Powerwall with Solar
$300 per kWh of battery, up to $5,000, plus $1,000 per kW of solar, up to $5,000, each capped at 50% of cost. The battery must be paired with new solar sized for it, designed for load displacement, and not on net metering.
🔥 Heat pumps
Cold-Climate and Ground-Source Heat Pumps
The amount depends on the unit and how the home is heated today. The heat pump must be on the qualified list and installed by a program-qualified contractor. A federal grant announced in October 2026 is expected in early 2027.
🚗 EV chargers
Home EV Chargers
There is no Ontario or Toronto Hydro rebate for a home charger right now. The real savings: a load check that avoids a panel upgrade, the Ultra-Low Overnight rate plan, and HELP financing for a Level 2 charger.

City of Toronto Home Energy Loan Program
Finance It on Your Tax Bill
Loans up to $125,000 (capped at 10% of your property's assessed value) at fixed rates from 3.83% (5 years) to 5.12% (20 years), rates valid to December 31, 2026. It covers heat pumps, solar, battery storage, Level 2 EV charging and more, and stacks with the rebates above.
Plan My Project →The Rules That Cost People Their Rebate
Buying Before Pre-Approval
Solar and battery rebates need written pre-approval from the program and the utility before any equipment is bought or installed.
Net Metering
Rebated solar and batteries must be designed for load displacement. A net-metering agreement and the rebate are one or the other.
A Battery on Its Own
A battery without new solar does not qualify. If backup is the goal and solar is not, the rebate is off the table and the design changes.
