Airdrie CEIP:
Solar Financing at 2.75%
The City of Airdrie's Clean Energy Improvement Program lets you finance solar panels and energy upgrades with no money down — repaid conveniently through your property tax bill at a low fixed rate.
What is the Airdrie Clean Energy Improvement Program?
The Airdrie CEIP is an innovative financing tool administered by Alberta Municipalities that allows residential property owners in the City of Airdrie to finance energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades — including solar panels — at a low fixed interest rate of 2.75%, with repayment collected through your regular property tax bill over up to 25 years.
Unlike a traditional loan, CEIP financing is tied to the property rather than the homeowner. This means if you sell your home, you can either pay off the remaining balance without penalty or transfer the financing to the new owner along with the property — making it a flexible, low-risk way to invest in your home's energy future.
Before you apply, it is worth knowing exactly how much solar could save you. Use the free energy assessment at QuotePath.ca to get a personalized estimate of your solar savings, system size, and payback period — at no cost and no obligation.
Available Rebates Through Airdrie CEIP
A $600 rebate is available for all completed CEIP projects. Applied directly to your Clean Energy Improvement Tax to reduce your total financing amount. Available on a first-come, first-served basis.
An additional $2,500 rebate is available for projects with a financed cost of $15,000 or more that include three or more upgrades across at least two categories (energy efficiency, renewable energy, or fuel switching).
Airdrie CEIP can be combined with the Alberta provincial rebate program and Alberta's residential solar rebate of $450/kW (up to $9,000). Stacking incentives can significantly reduce your net project cost.
