How do I use SolarAssist?
Find your location in Nova Scotia
Get started by entering your home address and we’ll do the rest. SolarAssist does not store your personal data — we use your address for calculation purposes only.
Evaluate your home’s solar potential
Nova Scotia gets more than enough sun for solar! Use our solar calculator to find out how much you might save on your energy bill by installing solar panel electricity for your home. Not a homeowner or want solar for your organization? Find out more.
View and share your custom solar estimate
SolarAssist can only provide an estimate, so it's best to follow up with a professional installer for a complete assessment of your unique home. SolarAssist is not a provider of solar installations. This platform is a FREE resource for Nova Scotians, built to help you learn how to go solar and take the next step toward becoming a solar photovoltaic or “solar PV” homeowner.
How does SolarAssist work?
We use your location and the information you give us about your home to estimate your solar energy generation potential, and to match you with Nova Scotia’s solar incentives, rebates and programs.
