Solar panel installation
Solar Panel Installation in Ontario
Grid-tied solar from Canadian Solar, LG and SunPower, sized to your roof and your bills. Offset up to 90% of your electricity use and claim up to $10,000 in HRSP rebates.
Why it matters
Make your roof your power plant
Solar is the simplest way to take control of rising hydro costs. A grid-tied system turns sunlight into electricity you use first, and through net metering with your utility, any surplus is credited against future bills. Summer production carries you through darker winter months.
We use high-efficiency monocrystalline panels from Canadian Solar, LG and SunPower, matched with inverters and racking rated for Ontario snow and wind loads. Every system is designed around your roof's orientation, pitch and shading, so the numbers you see in your proposal are the numbers you can expect.

FAQ
Solar Panels questions, answered
Do solar panels work in Ontario winters?
Yes. Cold temperatures improve panel efficiency. Snow and shorter days reduce winter output, but net metering credits the surplus from sunnier months against your winter bills.
What if my roof isn't south-facing?
East- and west-facing roofs typically produce about 75–85% of a south-facing roof's output. That's usually still an excellent investment, and we design around your roof.
Do I need a battery, or can I just use the grid?
You don't need a battery. With net metering the grid acts like a bank for your surplus. A battery adds backup power during outages and helps you use more of your own solar.
What if my roof needs repairs first?
We check roof condition during the assessment. Because panels last 25+ years, we recommend any needed roof work before installation so you don't pay to remove and reinstall later.
What happens if I sell my house?
Panels normally stay with the home and become part of its value. Moving a system is possible but rarely worth the cost.
