Heat Smart
Conserve Nova Scotia provides a 15 % rebate of the installed cost of a solar water heating system for residential, institutional, industrial or commercial use. The maximum provincial rebate is $20,000. Rebates that exceed $20,000 may be considered, and applicants may apply in advance with a detailed project description. Rebates exceeding $20,000 must be pre-approved, and will be provided based on available funding.

Homeowners in existing homes should also consider taking part in the Nova Scotia EnerGuide for Houses program. Under the EnerGuide program existing homes may be eligible for an additional $500 rebate from the Federal government for installing a CAN/CSA approved system for domestic hot water use. Homeowners that take part in the EnerGuide program have the option of receiving one provincial solar water heating rebate:
     1. 15% rebate on the installed cost of the system + the $500 federal rebate, OR

         * In most cases homeowners will receive a higher rebate if they choose option #1.
