​What Size Of Solar System Can I Expect For My Property?
OnGrid solar systems are used for homes in the city. A solar system mounted on the roof can produce some or most of the electricity consumed in the home. Most Canadian houses use between 5000 kWh (very efficient) and 13000 kWh(not very efficient) per year. Solar systems can reduce electrical consumption by the following amount:

How Does An OnGrid System Work?
See the cross-section of a house with a solar Ongrid system. There are two basic components:
Solar Array: Typically two to ten kilowatts of the solar panel system, mounted on unused roof space.
Inverter: Converts solar energy (DC) to match utility power.
Racking System: Used to support and protect the integrity of the solar system.

Why Are Solar Panels A Good Investment?
A solar electric panel features a 25-year, 80% output warranty and is usually productive for a much longer period. This means the system you install today will produce free and reliable electricity for decades to come. As an investment in your home, cottage, or RV, your system will enhance its value while delivering clean, quiet energy for you to use. Solar energy will also increase the appraised value of your home without paying more property taxes. Now that's a smart investment!

What Happens During A Power Failure?
Grid-tie systems safely disconnect in the event of a power failure. Alberta regulations require this functionality to protect electricians and fire fighters from safely troubleshooting or disconnecting electricity use during emergency situations. However, we offer the option of a secure source battery backup that would run some selected loads like pumps or lighting in the event of a blackout.
