Solar Leads in Ontario
Connect with qualified solar prospects in Ontario. Real-time delivery, verified contacts, fully compliant.
Ontario is Canada's largest residential solar market, driven by the province's substantial population, high electricity costs, and a history of progressive solar policies. The province pioneered grid-connected residential solar in Canada through its former Feed-in Tariff (FIT) programme, which established a robust installer ecosystem that continues to thrive today. While FIT has been replaced by net metering, Ontario homeowners remain strongly motivated to invest in rooftop solar as a hedge against rising electricity prices from the province's time-of-use pricing structure.
Southern Ontario — from Windsor through the GTA to Ottawa — receives between 1,100 and 1,400 peak sun hours annually, which is comparable to many productive solar markets globally. The province's mix of detached homes with south-facing roofs in suburban communities like Barrie, Kitchener-Waterloo, Oshawa, and Niagara creates ideal conditions for residential solar installations. Ontario's net metering programme allows homeowners to export excess generation to the grid and receive credits on their electricity bills, improving the financial case for solar investment.
The federal Canada Greener Homes Grant and various municipal green-energy initiatives further incentivise Ontario homeowners to explore solar. Rising awareness of battery storage options — particularly whole-home backup systems — is adding a new dimension to the market. DashLeads captures Ontario homeowners at the moment they research solar options and request installation quotes, delivering verified, geo-targeted leads in real time to solar installers serving any region of the province.

Ontario Regulatory Notes
Ontario's Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) requires that solar panel installations be performed or supervised by a Licensed Electrical Contractor (LEC). Installers must obtain ESA approval and coordinate with the local distribution company (LDC) for grid connection. Building permits are required for rooftop solar installations. Net metering applications are processed through the homeowner's LDC. The province's Consumer Protection Act applies to residential solar sales contracts.
