Sundamentals is an independent, non-profit education platform — plain-language guides, free courses, rebate finders and province-by-province playbooks for every Canadian homeowner, from coast to coast to coast.
Free courses with quizzes, an education hub by audience, a glossary and an honest FAQ.
Education Hub →Grid mix, rates, solar yield, net-metering rules and local programs — for all 13 provinces and territories.
Province guides →Solar, wind, hydro, geothermal, bioenergy, tidal and EVs — how each works and where it fits.
Explore renewables →Searchable national directories of rebates, incentives and financing, filterable by province.
Find rebates →Drag the sliders for a rough picture. Every home is different — a free local evaluation gives you real numbers.
Estimates only. Actual savings depend on system size, roof orientation, shading, local rates and net-metering rules. Not financial advice.
Estimated monthly savings
≈ $1,728 per year · $49,680 over a 25-year system life (with modest rate increases)
Sunlight into power — or income. Canada's fastest-growing rooftop choice.
Learn solar →Canada's cheapest renewable, from prairie farms to Atlantic coasts.
Learn wind →60% of Canadian electricity — the clean backbone of the whole grid.
Learn hydro →Steady heat from beneath your feet, in any season, any province.
Learn geothermal →Heat and power recovered from organic material and waste streams.
Learn bioenergy →Fundy's record tides and three coastlines of untapped potential.
Learn ocean →Driving on electrons — and charging on your own sunshine.
Learn EVs →Net-zero 2050, storage, hydrogen and the grid Canada is building.
The future →Quebec's grid is ~99% renewable at ~8¢/kWh; Saskatchewan has Canada's best sunshine on its most fossil-heavy grid. Your best next step depends on your postal code — so we built a playbook for each one.
How panels work in our climate, sizing, net metering, costs and choosing an installer.
Start course →Air-source and ground-source systems, cold-climate performance, sizing and costs.
Start course →Choosing an EV, charging levels, winter range, running costs and home chargers.
Start course →Battery chemistry, sizing, outage backup and time-of-use savings.
Start course →Audits, air sealing, insulation, windows and the right order for upgrades.
Start course →Wind, hydro, solar, bioenergy, ocean and the grid — the big picture.
Start course →112 articles on every corner of Canadian clean energy — written for homeowners, not engineers.
Learn how to stack federal, provincial, utility and municipal home energy rebates in Canada, avoid common mistakes, and time your applications right.
Are electric pickups and SUVs ready for Canadian conditions? What to expect for winter range, towing, ground clearance and charging, and how to choose wisely.
Deep geothermal power in Canada is finally moving. See the key projects in Saskatchewan, Alberta and BC, why progress has been slow, and what could come next.
Offshore wind in Atlantic Canada is moving forward. See Nova Scotia's Wind West plan, the qualified bidders, expected timelines and what's still uncertain.
Attic insulation in Canada explained: recommended R-values, blown-in vs. batts, approximate costs, DIY vs. pro, and the air sealing step people skip.
Is burning wood carbon neutral? A balanced look at carbon debt, payback times, residues vs. whole trees, and what it means for Canadian wood and pellet heat.
The average Canadian's footprint is about 14 tonnes of CO₂e a year — among the highest in the world. Our carbon guide explains where it comes from, and the quick estimator shows where yours does.
