Grants and Incentives – Industrial

In an environment where every second of downtime and every cent of overhead matters, industrial operations are under pressure to become leaner, greener, and more resilient. That’s why in 2025, more manufacturers, processors, and heavy facility operators across Ontario are investing in solar power and battery storage systems.

These technologies aren’t just about going green—they’re about protecting your bottom line, maximizing uptime, and building energy independence.

• ✅ Offset daytime energy usage with on-site generation

• ✅ Reduce overall electricity bills and stabilize cash flow

• ✅ Avoid carbon pricing impacts and grid volatility

• ✅ Enhance your ESG and net-zero strategies

• ✅ Improve plant resilience and competitiveness

Solar is especially effective for facilities with large roof space, open land, or long daytime operational hours.

Peak shave: Reduce high electricity demand spikes that trigger expensive demand charges

Shift loads: Store cheaper energy at night (or from solar) and use it during high-cost periods

Maintain uptime: Stay online during grid outages with automatic backup for critical systems

Grid participation: Tap into demand response programs or microgrid frameworks for added revenue streams

✅ Federal Investment Tax Credit (ITC)

• 30% credit on eligible solar and battery system costs
• Includes industrial buildings, warehouses, and process facilities

✅ Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (CCA)

• Faster write-off of clean energy investments under Classes 43.1/43.2
• Applies to solar panels, inverters, batteries, and electrical upgrades

✅ IESO Save on Energy Programs

• Incentives for energy performance upgrades and behind-the-meter generation
• Custom projects may qualify for additional rebates or performance-based rewards

✅ Net Metering & Microgrid Support

• Offset grid usage or contribute excess energy
• Ideal for remote operations or facilities seeking grid independence

• Manufacturing plants with consistent daytime energy use
• Food processors with refrigeration and compliance needs
• Mining and aggregates in remote or off-grid areas
• Cold storage and distribution centers with 24/7 demand
• Chemical and pharma facilities with sensitive equipment
• Heavy equipment yards or foundries with large land or roof footprints

If your operation consumes 500 kWh or more daily, your savings potential is significant.

• System Lifespan: 25–30 years (solar); 10–15 years (battery)
• Payback Period: Typically 4–7 years, faster with incentives
• Maintenance: Minimal, with remote monitoring and annual inspections
• Output: High-efficiency modules with smart inverter optimization
• Scalability: Start small, expand as demand grows or more incentives emerge

With real-time energy dashboards, your team can track savings, monitor usage trends, and support internal or investor sustainability reporting.

Solar and battery storage are no longer optional upgrades—they’re strategic infrastructure investments. In Ontario’s evolving energy landscape, forward-thinking industrial operators are using solar + storage to drive efficiency, meet regulatory goals, and cut energy costs at scale.

It’s not just power. It’s power you control.
