In Canada it can be very difficult for a residential property owner to get any kind of financial help from the government to install a solar electric system. Why dont the companies that offer these products run promotional campaigns and write the losses off in thier taxes? It seems to me that most people want to get PV panels but have a hard time affording them, and it would be in a companies best interest to cater to the market in any way they can. So basically when you buy a solar energy system, the company selling it to you would give you a large discount and then have the accounting team do the legwork.

I know of one company that does.
Also some companies will try to get you financing through a bank but this is not a common practice in Canada yet.
If they sell each unit at a loss and make no profit, then they aren’t paying taxes and hence having a “write off” is a non-issue.
