A local beauty salon in Bridgewater, Nova Scotia, has transformed its unused rooftop into a powerful energy asset, thanks to a newly completed commercial net metering solar project.
Running a salon requires more than just great service. Behind the scenes, energy demands are high—hairdryers, lighting, HVAC systems, and other equipment all contribute to rising electricity bills. Wanting to reduce operating costs without compromising comfort or performance, the business owner turned to a smart, sustainable solution.
Saving Big with Solar Incentives and Rebates
The salon didn’t just benefit from clean energy, it also saved big on the bottom line. The project qualified for a Federal Tax Incentive that covered 27% of the total investment, along with provincial business rebates to reduce the upfront cost even further.
