-
What is the lifespan of an EV charger?A well-maintained EV charger can last 10 years or more, depending on usage and environmental conditions.
-
Can I use my home solar panels to charge my EV?Yes, if your home has solar panels, you can use the generated electricity to charge your EV, reducing your reliance on grid electricity and further lowering costs.
-
Are off-grid systems reliable in remote areas?Absolutely. Off-grid systems are specifically designed for reliability in remote locations where access to the traditional grid is limited or unavailable.
-
Will an off-grid system increase my property value?Yes, off-grid systems can increase property value by offering energy independence and long-term savings on electricity costs.
-
What is an off-grid solar system?An off-grid solar system is a complete energy solution that allows you to generate and store electricity independently, without relying on the traditional power grid.
-
How much does it cost to install an off-grid system?The cost varies based on the size and complexity of the system. We provide custom quotes tailored to your specific energy needs and location.
-
Do off-grid systems work during cloudy days or at night?Yes, off-grid systems store excess energy generated during sunny days in batteries, allowing you to use the stored power during cloudy days or at night.
-
How much can I save by installing solar panels at home?Savings vary, but most homeowners can significantly reduce or eliminate their electricity bills, leading to substantial long-term savings.
-
How can I finance my solar panels with an interest-free Greener Homes Loan?The Canada Greener Homes Loan offers interest-free financing to help cover the cost of residential solar panel installations. Homeowners can access up to $40,000 in funding, making it easier to afford the upfront costs and start saving on energy bills. This loan is designed to encourage sustainable home improvements, including solar energy solutions.

-
What happens at night or when my system isn’t generating power?At night, or when your system isn’t producing enough energy, you’ll draw power from the grid as usual. With net metering, any excess power you generate during sunny days can offset the energy you use from the grid.
-
How does solar save me money?Solar cuts your energy bills by letting you generate your own power. With net metering, excess energy earns credits, and homes that offset over 100% of their needs can even achieve zero or negative bills over time.
-
How well do solar panels perform in the winter?Solar panels perform well in cold weather. In fact, they can be more efficient in colder temperatures, as excessive heat can reduce output. There is also more reflective light from snow hitting the panels. Snow typically slides off panels, and any accumulation often melts quickly due to sunlight absorption.
-
How do solar panels work when it’s cloudy, and can they still save me money?Yes! Solar panels generate electricity even on cloudy days. Excess electricity produced on sunny days can be sent back to the grid through a process called net metering. This means you earn credits for the power you send to the grid, which can offset the cost of any power you draw when your system isn’t generating as much, such as on cloudy days or at night. When we calculate your potential solar savings, we also consider historical weather data for your area. This helps us estimate your system's annual performance based on real local conditions, ensuring you have a realistic expectation of the energy savings and credits you can expect throughout the year.
-
Will solar panels increase my home’s value?Yes, research shows that homes with solar installations generally see a 3-4% increase in property value. Solar can make your home more appealing to environmentally conscious buyers and those seeking energy savings.
