Frequently Asked Questions

Q1

How much will I pay upfront for a solar power system?

The only upfront cost is a $840 payment to a third-party Energy Advisor, required to qualify for government rebates and loans. No additional payments are required until your system is fully installed and generating power.

Q2

How do government rebates and loans work?

You can access up to $10,000 in rebates ($5,000 for solar panels and $5,000 for battery systems) and a 10-year interest-free loan of up to $40,000 through programs like the Canada Greener Homes Initiative. We’ll assist you with the entire application process.

Q3

How long does it take to install a solar system?

Once the design and permitting process is complete, installation typically takes 4–6 days, depending on the size and complexity of the system.

Q4

Will solar panels increase my property value?

Yes, solar panels can increase your home’s value by 3–5%. For a $1.5 million property, this could mean an increase of $45,000–$75,000. Buyers are drawn to energy-efficient homes with reduced operating costs.

Q5

What happens if my roof needs to be replaced?

Solar panels are mounted on rails, not directly onto the roof. This makes it easy to remove and reinstall them when your roof requires maintenance or replacement.

Q6

Do solar panels work during a blackout?

If you include a battery storage system in your setup, you can store excess energy and use it during power outages. This ensures your home remains powered even when the grid is down.

Q7

How much can I save on energy bills with solar panels?

Savings vary based on your energy usage, but many homeowners can reduce or eliminate their electricity bills entirely. Combined with government incentives, you can see significant financial benefits over time.

Q8

How long do solar panels last?

Solar panels typically last 25–30 years. With warranties covering performance and product for 25 years, you can expect consistent energy generation for decades.

Q9

Do solar panels require a lot of maintenance?

Not at all. Solar panels are low-maintenance, requiring occasional cleaning and periodic inspections to ensure optimal performance. We offer maintenance services to keep your system running efficiently.

Q10

How does solar power help the environment?

Solar energy is a clean, renewable energy source that reduces your reliance on fossil fuels. A typical solar system offsets several tons of CO2 emissions annually, contributing to a healthier planet.
