When you come to the decision to install home solar power you have not just made a choice to help the environment and leave a cleaner world for your children but to also dramatically reduce your household bills.



What type of solar power do I choose

There are two main types of solar energy. Solar photovoltaic energy, which produces electricity, and solar water heating, which obviously produces hot water.

The Benefits of Solar Energy

  • For a start, your electricity or water bills will be a lot lower. Energy prices are not just going up in Canada but all over the world. Most systems should last 25 years with virtually no maintenance, so once the system is installed, there are minimal costs because the energy from the sun is completely free.

  • Claiming state or government rebates can dramatically reduce your initial outlay. Most people are put off installing solar power due to the initial outlay but most governments are now offering large rebates, which means home-owners in Canada can save even more when using solar energy.


  • Become independent of price hikes and power shortages. We have seen how volatile world energy can be, so protect yourself from the wild price rises that the utility companies impose on us.

  • Preserve the environment for yourself and your children by using clean, renewable energy that is unharmful to our planet and won't add to all the rising pollution. You don't have to spend a fortune. Just small changes such as using a solar energy battery charger can help reduce your carbon footprint. For more details, click here.
  • Sell electricity back to the utility companies. Your home solar power system saves any surplus electricity on the utility grid, feeding it back into the grid and generating you money. At night, when there is no sunlight, the system will draw the electricity you need back from the grid automatically. Neat eh?
