ABOUT TURN ON THE
SUN
 The
Turn on the Sun program has recently been
announced in Saskatchewan, and runs until the end of
2010. The program provides a direct price
discount for up to 200 residents installing a solar water
system to heat their domestic hot water.
Turn on the Sun can be
combined with other grants & incentives available to
Saskatchewan home owners, such as the
EnerGuide
program. The combined saving often account for
over 50% of the solar water heater's installed cost.
Significant funding for
Turn on the Sun is provided by Natural
Resources Canada through their
ecoENERGY for Renewable Heat
pilot project.
PARTICIPATION
To participate in Turn on
the Sun, home owners are encouraged to
contact
the program installer. Note that
although funding is currently available, there are
both time limits and total number of install limits
under this program.
The program is set up to be easy
and effective for the homeowner to use, with typical
incentives in the $1300 - $1700 range. The
home owner is not required to pay administrative
or inspection fees to participate in the program,
and this program can often be used in conjunction
with the $1500 EnerGuide grant available to
Saskatchewan home owners installing a solar water
heating system. |
