Yes, if you have a properly sized battery storage system, it can provide backup power during a blackout, keeping essential appliances and devices running.

Battery storage provides energy independence, reduces reliance on the grid, offers backup power during outages, and can help lower electricity bills by using stored energy during peak hours.

Battery storage systems capture and store excess electricity generated by solar panels, which can then be used during the night, cloudy days, or power outages.

Battery storage systems require minimal maintenance, typically involving periodic checks and software updates to ensure optimal performance.

Installation costs vary depending on the charger type and home electrical setup. Level 1 chargers are usually cheaper, while Level 2 chargers and installation can range from $500 to $2,000 or more.

The cost depends on electricity rates and the size of the EV’s battery. On average, it’s cheaper than gasoline, costing a few dollars per full charge at home.

A well-maintained EV charger can last 10 years or more, depending on usage and environmental conditions.

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.

Absolutely. Off-grid systems are specifically designed for reliability in remote locations where access to the traditional grid is limited or unavailable.

Yes, off-grid systems can increase property value by offering energy independence and long-term savings on electricity costs.

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.

The cost varies based on the size and complexity of the system. We provide custom quotes tailored to your specific energy needs and location.

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.

Savings vary, but most homeowners can significantly reduce or eliminate their electricity bills, leading to substantial long-term savings.

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.

Most solar panels have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with many continuing to produce electricity beyond that time.

Yes, homes with solar panels typically see an increase in property value due to lower energy costs and the appeal of sustainable energy.

A south-facing roof with minimal shading is ideal, but east and west-facing roofs can also work. A free solar assessment can determine your home’s suitability.

Yes, solar panels still generate electricity on cloudy days, though at a reduced efficiency compared to sunny days.

Savings vary, but many businesses can significantly reduce or eliminate electricity bills, leading to substantial long-term savings.

Commercial solar panels are designed to seamlessly integrate with existing electrical systems, providing a consistent and reliable energy supply.

Commercial solar panels typically have a lifespan of 25 to 30 years, with minimal degradation in efficiency over time.

Various financing options are available, including loans, leases, and power purchase agreements (PPAs), making it easier for businesses to invest in solar energy.

Installation time varies depending on the size and complexity of the project but typically ranges from a few weeks to a few months.

Yes, commercial solar systems are scalable, allowing businesses to add more panels as their energy needs grow.

Many smart home systems can be connected to battery storage or backup power solutions, ensuring continuity during outages.

You can monitor security cameras, lock doors, and receive alerts from your system, ensuring real-time control and peace of mind.

Yes, most smart home systems allow you to control and monitor your devices remotely through a mobile app.

Automation can optimize your energy use, allowing you to run appliances and systems using solar energy during peak production.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
