SolarTO Offers Green Energy Solutions for Property Owners

The City of Toronto is encouraging Torontonians to upgrade their homes and businesses with solar photovoltaic (PV) panels through the new SolarTO program. As a renewable and free energy source, solar power has considerably less environmental impact than alternative power sources.

SolarTO offers access to complimentary consultations on the feasibility of solar PV implementation on your property, including layout, sizing, and budgetary estimates. The benefits of equipping your home or building with solar PV panels include: reducing the cost of your utility bill, increasing your property value, and contributing to the reduction of the City's overall emissions footprint.

I will continue to support new and innovative programs that strive to build a better and greener Toronto. During my time on City Council, I have championed environmental protection initiatives both within Ward 15 and throughout the City including initiatives to shift towards an Extended Producer Responsibility model for recycling, protect the Great Lakes from sewer outflow, and electrify the TTC's Bus Fleet. The adoption of solar energy throughout Toronto will be a significant step towards realizing our TransformTO goal to transfer the City to 75% renewable and low carbon energy sources by 2050.
