SR&ED for cleantech & energy.
Cleantech companies push against physical limits, which is exactly the uncertainty SR&ED rewards. Work across generation, storage, and efficiency routinely qualifies when the outcome wasn't guaranteed.
What qualifies in Cleantech & Energy?
Eligibility comes down to one test: did your team work through genuine technical uncertainty? In cleantech & energy, that usually looks like this.
- Developing renewable-generation or storage systems
- Improving energy efficiency or conversion
- Reducing emissions through new methods
- Prototyping and testing under real-world conditions
- Modelling and simulating novel systems
What a claim looks like
A storage startup developed a battery-management approach to extend cycle life past its plateau.
A solar firm engineered a mounting and tracking system for an environment it had never operated in.
A cleantech company cut process emissions where no proven method existed.

Cleantech & Energy, answered
Is a demonstration or pilot project eligible?
The experimental development within it usually is, even if the wider project also has routine components. Chrono isolates the eligible work.
Do green subsidies affect our claim?
They affect the credit calculation, not whether the work qualifies. The experimentation is judged on its own merits.
