STEP 1:
Register for the Greener Homes Grant

To begin your journey, start by registering for the Greener Homes Grant through the Natural Resources of Canada website, here:

STEP 2:
Book an Energy Audit for Your Home

Find a local EnerGuide energy auditor to perform a pre-evaluation of your homes energy efficiency.  The auditor will recommend how many solar panels you need for your home to make it more energy efficient.  When you register, you will search using your postal code and select a service organization in your area.

STEP 3:
Purchase and Install Solar Panels

Find a local solar installer to purchase and install the solar panels onto your house.  The installer will handle everything from pre-design, to installation and commissioning of the solar panels with the local utility company.  

STEP 4:
Book a Energy Audit Review for Your Home

Once installed, it’s now time to perform a post-evaluation of your homes energy efficiency.  This time, the auditor will provide a report that outlines how their recommendations were met, and passed, from the pre-evaluation.  You will use this report to submit to the Greener Homes Grant in order to collect your reimbursement.

STEP 5:
Collect Your Reimbursement

Take all of your documentation and continue back to the Greener Homes Grant website to complete your reimbursement application.  Get paid!
