Power you send back
Net billing at a fixed credit per kWh
Exports earn 7.5¢ per kWh, which may be less than you pay to buy power. Using solar as it's made is worth more than exporting it.
SaskPower's 7.5¢ credit terms expired March 31, 2026; future terms unannounced. Verify.
What it costs
Installed prices in Saskatchewan typically run $2.60 to $3.27 per watt, so a 7 kW system is roughly $18,200 to $22,890 before any rebate. Source
