We make it easy

Solar Neighbourhoods EligibleSolar Neighbourhoods has taken a lot of the legwork out of getting a solar hot water system installed on your home.  We have been working extensively with City departments to address building code issues and to streamline the system installation process.  We have also pre-approved a number of contractors and systems for participation in the Solar Neighbourhoods program.  Look for the Solar Neighbourhoods Eligible logo on contractor materials or view our approved system list at www.solarneighbourhoods.ca/suppliers.php.  By the way, these contractors are also experts in water conservation and can help you save both water and energy.

 

SOLAR NEIGHBOURHOODS wants to help you reduce your home’s energy use and tap the power of the sun. We will guide qualifying homeowners in Ward 30 through the purchase and installation of a solar water heating system and help you access to up to $2,000 in cash incentives. Solar hot water is a well-developed zero-emissions renewable energy technology that is in wide use around the world. Now, Solar Neighbourhoods is working to make it part of life right here in Toronto.
