Everything you need to know about going solar. Get answers to your top questions.
Yes, many regions are suitable for solar panels, especially those that receive a good amount of sunlight throughout the year. Solar panels can be an effective way to generate electricity in a wide range of climates, provided there is sufficient sunlight. It’s important to assess your local solar potential, which includes the number of sunny days and the intensity of sunlight, to determine if solar is a viable option for you.
South facing installation is ideal, as it provides the most direct hours of sunlight. East and West facing installations however, will still produce a high rate of return by simply adding a module or two.
It really depends on the lifespan of your product or roofing material. It’s best if we come out and evaluate on site. We have the knowledge and expertise to determine the best and most cost effective solution for you.
If you are looking at installing based on future consumption, it would be best to choose a system that would include future consumption. Adding on to an existing system requires resubmission of permits, engineering and micro-generation agreement.
Yes, the payback period for installed solar panels is 6 to 10 years, with faster returns in sunnier areas. With minimal upkeep, these modules can last for around 30 years. While their efficiency may gradually decrease over time, most panels continue to operate at a significant capacity well beyond the warranty period. Regular maintenance and cleaning can help ensure they function optimally throughout their lifespan.
The cost of installing solar panels varies based on several factors, including the size of the system, the type of panels chosen, and the complexity of the installation. Our team will work with you to find a solution that fits your needs, and will share a no-obligation estimate of the installation cost.
Many regions offer financial incentives for solar installations, including rebates, tax credits, and grants. These incentives can significantly reduce the upfront cost of installing solar panels. Our team will help you identify the incentives you might be eligible for.
Solar panels are designed to withstand a variety of extreme weather conditions, including heavy snow, ice, high winds, and even hail. They are built from durable materials and undergo rigorous testing to ensure they can handle harsh weather. In fact, solar panels often perform better in cooler temperatures, and their design usually allows snow to slide off easily, minimizing any potential impact on performance.
