The year 2026 marks a historic turning point for solar energy in Quebec with the launch of the Hydro-Quebec LogisVert program. For the first time, a substantial subsidy of $1,000 per kilowatt installed makes solar investment deeply profitable, with return on investment dropping from 15-18 years to just 7-9 years.
Our blog explores every aspect of this transformation: concrete steps to obtain the subsidy, how net metering works, real-world solar panel performance during our Quebec winters, the choice between different technologies (monocrystalline, bifacial, N-Type TOPCon), and the criteria for selecting a trusted RBQ-certified installer.
Whether you own a home on the South Shore, in Laval, Longueuil or elsewhere in Greater Montreal, you'll find here the essential information to make an informed decision. Our free solar calculator gives you in 30 seconds a personalized estimate of your project: recommended power, net cost after subsidy, annual savings and payback period.
