The less shade- the better!
Do you have a lot of trees surrounding your home?
Significant shading that can't be removed isn't worth the investment.
Our team can install solar panels on most roofing materials that are in good condition and structurally sound.
To avoid costly removal and reinstallation expenses when it's time to replace your roof, we recommend aligning the life cycles of your solar panels and roof.
Therefore, it's best to opt for a new or recently installed roof, even if your current roof is in great shape. Keep in mind that solar systems have a lifespan of 25-30 years.
When it comes to solar panel performance, simple roofs with gentle slopes and a south-facing orientation are the most effective.
While south-facing roofs are considered the ideal option, roofs facing East, South, East, West, or South-West can still provide an efficient solar system with a favourable return on investment.
The size of your electrical service and bus bar rating determines the maximum size of your solar system.
Most homes have a 125 AMP or 200 AMP service, which can accommodate systems up to 10kW and 14kW respectively (depending on bus rating).
Our electrical team can provide customized solutions to fit your specific situation, goals, and budget.
