A highly experienced team of people dedicated to improving our health and environment by providing affordable solar energy solutions for everyone.

We do this by specifically focusing on solar energy solutions and how you use that power in your households. Our team brings the experience of over 4,000 installs to ensure each new installation meets the highest standards from decades of knowledge.

Multiple factors play a role in your system cost. Sunly does not aim to offset 100% of your usage but instead designs a system that optimizes your savings while considering the costs associated with that.

The price per watt across the country can range today from $2.30 - $3.50 and installations can range from 5kW to 15kW+. It all depends on your specific home.

This is why we offer the complimentary Solar assessment so you can understand the specifics to your house.

So you have gotten your solar estimate and you have been told you need X amount of solar panels and it will produce Y amount of electricity every year! By investing in solar now you can save $$$.

There are a few things you might want to consider when reviewing the proposal. Do they have a picture of your roof with the proposed layout of the solar panels? Are they covering anything important, like a vent or a skylight?

We have done initial proposals before where we identified the roof from a satellite image and it was the wrong roof. Either because pin fell on the wrong property or it was outdated. Now always confirm the view of the house with the homeowner before even preparing a proposal. If you don’t see an aerial view of your roof then don’t assume the system is the right size.

Does your proposal include factors like shading, weather and roof pitch and direction?

With all those factors considered estimates become a lot more reliable. It is important to note that some years the solar system will produce much more than the estimate while some years a little less.

Of course there will always be variables you can’t control installing solar panels Canada, such as trees growing over time, apartment buildings being built next to you, or an extra long and gloomy winter/summer.

The main point is at least your estimate has accounted for known factors to allow for a more realistic idea of how much you can save.

Net metering is where you produce electricity from solar panels throughout the day and use most of it but the rest goes to your local provider. This excess electricity gets banked as credits. When you need that electricity (like when watching scary movies) you will automatically get it from the grid. That draws down your credits, and if you use more than your credits, the electricity company will just charge you for that little bit of usage you did not have covered by your solar panels

No. The system shuts down immediately and does not produce electricity until power returns. This is a North American wide standard to protect the people working on the electrical system during an emergency.

For most of us, producing solar energy to offset our electric bills is a whole new world. Likely you became aware of solar because you saw a news article talking about government solar rebates making it an affordable option or an advertisement targeting the problem of “ever increasing electricity bills”.

After that you might have done some research to find out the cost of the systems, potential rebates and the overall cash savings you might expect to receive.

Now that you know that solar is affordable and that it will save you money, you are now ready to move forward!

One big problem – You have never bought solar before so you probably do not know what to expect. At Sunly.ca we have you covered!
