Canada’s Greener Homes Grant is Running Out: What Homeowners Need to Know

The Canada Greener Homes Grant is closed and not accepting new applications

LUMI Renewables provides end-to-end support, from audit to installation
What Is the Canada Greener Homes Loan?
The Canada Greener Homes Loan is a federal program that offers up to $40,000 in interest-free financing, repayable over 10 years. It’s designed to support energy upgrades like:
Rooftop solar panels
Battery storage
Heat pumps
Insulation, windows, and doors
Since its launch in late 2022, over 115,000 Canadian households have used this loan to make their homes more energy efficient.
How Much Funding Is Left?
As of June 17, 2025, according to data obtained by Charge Solar through an Access to Information request:
$2.78 billion in total loans have already been committed
Only $444 million remains from the most recent $600 million top-up
The loan is being consumed at a pace of 3,000 to 3,500 applications per month
That means funding could run out by November 2025 unless new money is added
Once the remaining budget is gone, the program will close to new applicants with no guarantee of renewal. The government is currently under pressure to cut spending, so homeowners should not rely on the possibility of future top-ups.
Why This Matters to Solar Customers
The loan is first-come, first-served.
For solar customers, the process of system design, audits, and application submission can take weeks or even months. Delays in securing a pre-retrofit EnerGuide evaluation, which is required for eligibility, can be a major bottleneck. If you’re thinking about going solar, waiting even a month could put you at risk of missing out.
What Homeowners Should Do Now
To take full advantage of the loan before it’s gone:
Book your EnerGuide audit immediately (this is required before applying)
Apply for the loan as early as possible
Don’t assume funding will still be there in a few months
Work with a qualified solar installer who understands the timeline
