How Quebec Credits Solar Exports
The credit rule can matter more to payback than the rebate. This is the rule we read on the utility or regulator page.
| Utility and program | How exports are credited | System size |
|---|---|---|
| Hydro-Québec: Net metering, Option I | Exports go into a surplus bank that resets every 24 months. A balance left at reset is credited to your bill at the average cost of electricity supply. The system access charge is not credited | 1,000 kW, and no more than your estimated energy need |
What Electricity Costs, and So What Solar Saves
Solar offsets the price you would otherwise pay per kWh, so the rate in your province sets how fast a system pays back.
| Utility and rate | Energy price | Daily charge | Valid for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hydro-Québec, Rate D | 7.065¢/kWh for the first 40 kWh a day, then 11.142¢/kWh for the rest | 46.154¢ a day | Rates effective Apr 1, 2026 |
