Most detached homes take about 1–3 days on site for the physical solar installation, depending on roof size, layout, and wiring complexity. Utility approvals and inspections can add time on the paperwork side, but we keep you updated at each step until the system is turned on.

Yes, when conditions are safe. Many solar service calls and smaller installs can be done through Southern Ontario’s winter as long as the roof is clear and weather allows safe access. For larger projects, we may schedule the main installation for a better weather window and handle design, permits, and electrical prep ahead of time.

When solar is installed correctly, it is designed to protect, not damage, the roof. We use flashed, sealed mounting hardware and respect manufacturer guidelines so your roof system remains watertight. If your roof is very old or in poor condition, we’ll recommend addressing that first before adding panels.

Yes, solar requires electrical permits and utility approvals for net metering in Ontario. We coordinate the paperwork with your local hydro utility and ensure the system is installed to ESA (Electrical Safety Authority) requirements. In most cases, you do not need a separate building permit unless there are major structural changes.

We provide workmanship warranty on our solar installation plus manufacturer warranties on panels, inverters, and racking. Many panels carry 20–25+ year performance warranties. All coverage details and registration steps are included with your written quote and completion paperwork.

Pricing depends on system size, roof layout, equipment choice, and whether you add battery storage. Many Golden Horseshoe residential systems fall roughly between $12,000–$30,000+ before any available incentives or financing. After reviewing your home and hydro usage, we’ll provide a clear, itemized quote so you know exactly what you’re getting.

If your roof is in good condition with plenty of life left, we can usually install solar directly on it. If the roof is near the end of its lifespan, we’ll recommend re-roofing before or together with solar so you’re not paying twice to remove and re-install panels a few years later.

It depends on system size, your roof’s sun exposure, and how much electricity you use. A well-sized system can often offset a large portion of a typical Golden Horseshoe home’s annual electricity usage. During your quote, we’ll show estimated kWh production and bill savings based on your actual hydro bills.

Solar still produces power on cloudy days, just at a lower output. In winter, production is lower but panels can perform very well on clear, cold days. Over the year, summer months typically produce more than winter, and net metering helps balance that out by giving you credits for excess summer production.

First, check your monitoring app and breakers if you have access. Then contact us with any error codes or screenshots. Our team can often diagnose issues remotely and, if needed, schedule an on-site visit to repair wiring, replace a faulty inverter, or address any hardware problems.
