Our vision is to accelerate the adoption of sustainable practices by creating accessible 

and affordable productsfor our customers.

Since 2007, we have provided solar solutions to

homeowners, farmers, municipalities, school

boards and businesses all over Ontario.

Solar Growth Around The World

By 2050, solar power will be the world's largest source of electricity.

Renewable Energy Independence

Japan, Germany and Costa Rica are amongst some of the countries that are approaching 100% renewable energy generation.

Greenhouse Gas Equivalencies Calculator

Launch Calculator

The average home produces 7.42 metric tons of CO2 per year and only 1.41 after going solar.

Many homebuilders are now include solar 

packages as an upgrade.

The Future of Real EstateAll new houses built will be required to be net 

zero by 2030.

Mandatory energy auditswill be introduced on all 

home sales.

Housing accounts for 17% of secondary 

energy use in Canada and 16% of the 

country’s greenhouse gas emissions.

Unlike most home improvements which depreciate in value with age, solar panels will increase in value over time as electricity prices rise.

An Address With Benefits

Energy ConsumptionThe average Ontario home uses roughly 9,600 kWh’s per year.

Solar ProductionA 10 kW south facing system can produce over 12,000+ kWhs per year.

Future Hydro BillsYour solar system has a lifespan of over 40 years.

Your solar home’s immediate benefits

Protection – Solar panels will protect the roof from the harsh and degrading UV rays of the sun.

Climate – By absorbing the sun's irradiance, the panels will keep your house cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.

The microFIT effectWith the increased contribution of renewable energy, Ontario is able to shut down its last coal plant, making it the first jurisdiction in North America to completely phase out coal.

The microFIT effectmicroFit’s Most successful Year to date! IESO hit its target to procure 50 MW under MicroFIT which catapulted Canada from 30th to 10th for installed solar capacity added that year.

The microFIT effectDue to the success of Ontario's MicroFIT program, more provinces are getting on board. Alberta is targeting 30% of electricity generation from renewables. Saskatchewan has a 50% renewable energy target by 2030.

Capacity of 50 Megawatts – (approx. 4000 homes).

Only 1 in 1000 households will be awarded contracts.

With over 24,000 connections, microFIT has been a tremendous success. 2017 will be the last year to apply.

Your solar panels,your energy

In 15 years the average bill is expected to be over $200/month. At that time, your system will still be between 85‐90% efficient.

Once the system has paid itself off, not only the panels but also 100% of the energy you produce is yours!

If you sell the home before then – you will be able to market this house as a soon‐to‐be hydro bill free home.
