Drayton Valley CEIP:
Finance Solar Through Your Property Tax
The Town of Drayton Valley's Clean Energy Improvement Program offers residential property owners a new way to pay for solar panels and energy upgrades — with no money down, a fixed interest rate, and repayment collected through your property tax bill.
What is the Drayton Valley Clean Energy Improvement Program?
The Drayton Valley CEIP is a financing program administered by Alberta Municipalities that makes energy efficiency and renewable energy upgrades — including solar panels — accessible to residential property owners in the Town of Drayton Valley. The program provides financing for up to 100% of eligible project costs at a fixed interest rate of 4.16%, with repayment collected through your property tax bill over up to 20 years.
Drayton Valley is an energy-forward community — the town has already installed solar on its own Clean Energy Technology Centre — and the CEIP reflects a commitment to helping residents benefit from the same clean energy transition. The program is currently accepting applications.
Before you apply, find out exactly what solar could save your home or farm. The free energy assessment at QuotePath.ca gives you a personalized estimate of your solar savings, recommended system size, and payback period — in minutes, with no obligation.
