With the average cost of a residential hybrid solar system installation in Canada ranging from CAD 15,000 to CAD 30,000—understanding the installation costs is paramount, the same as learning how it works. What’s a Hybrid PV System?
There are three main types of energy storage currently commercially available in Canada: Storage is playing an increasingly important role in the electricity system by improving grid reliability and power quality, and by complementing variable renewable energy sources (VRES) like wind and solar.
According to a 2023 report by the Canadian Solar Industries Association (CanSIA), the adoption of hybrid setups in Canada has increased by 15% annually over the past five years—driven by advancements in power cell storage technology, such as lithium-ion batteries.

The cost of a battery energy storage system depends on its size, type, and capacity. Below is a general breakdown: Lithium-Ion Batteries: $10,000–$20,000 (including installation). Lead-Acid Batteries: $5,000–$10,000 (cheaper but less efficient). Lithium-Ion Batteries: $50,000–$200,000 or more, depending on system size.
BESS is the fastest growing energy storage technology in Canada and is also the dominant storage technology in terms of capacity and number of sites. All but four projects proposed to be commissioned by 2030 are battery storage, with two CAES and two PHS projects also proposed.
