Installation Cost in Canada (2026)

We cover 283 locations across 7 regions of Canada. Electricity prices in our dataset range from C$0.0829 to C$0.22 per kWh depending on region — a spread of 165%, which is why solar panel installation costs are worth materially different amounts in different parts of the country. Roof area is measured in square metres here. Installation cost benchmarks move with system size, roof type and local labour, while payback depends directly on the electricity price the system displaces.
