Frequently Asked Questions

Our estimates are based on industry-standard calculations using provincial solar data, local electricity rates, and typical equipment costs. They're generally accurate within 10-15% for initial planning, but actual results depend on specific site conditions, equipment choices, and installation factors.

We include major federal programs like the Canada Greener Homes Loan and applicable provincial rebates. Rebate availability and amounts change frequently, so always verify current programs with installers and your provincial energy authority.

Contact 2-3 local installers for detailed quotes and site assessments. They'll evaluate your roof condition, shading, electrical panel, and provide accurate pricing based on your specific situation. Most consultations are free.
