How Much Program Funding Actually Remains?
Natural Resources Canada started 2025 with $444 million remaining in the program. Canadians are burning through approximately $90 million per month in loan approvals. At that rate, funds could be exhausted before the October 1st deadline. Over 115,000 Canadian households have already used this program since it launched in 2021.What’s the Real Cost If You Miss This Deadline?
You’ll pay regular financing rates of 6-8% interest instead of 0%. On a $30,000 solar system:-
-
- With the loan: $250/month for 10 years = $30,000 total
- Without the loan: $340-370/month for 10 years = $40,800-44,400 total

Why Is the Federal Government Ending This Popular Program?
Simple: they ran out of money faster than expected. The program was too successful. When the government added an extra $600 million in funding in 2024, they thought it would last longer. Canadian demand for solar financing exceeded all projections.No additional funding has been announced. Once it’s gone, it’s gone.
The window is closing fast. Every day you wait is money out of your pocket—and after October 1st, it’s a lot more money.
