FAQs
Is Jasper sunny enough for solar power, and how do I know if my roof is suitable?
Absolutely. Jasper averages 4.5–5.0 sun-hours per day—more than enough to make solar economically viable. During our free site assessment we measure roof orientation, tilt, shading from trees or neighbouring buildings, and structural integrity. We also evaluate ground-mount options if your roof is shaded or has limited space. You will receive a detailed report estimating annual energy output, payback period, and carbon savings so you can make an informed decision.
What does a typical residential solar installation cost and are there any incentives available?
In Jasper, a turnkey 5 kW grid-tied system costs roughly $12,000–$14,000 before incentives. Businesses or larger homes normally budget $2.20–$2.60 per watt, depending on panel efficiency, roof complexity, and inverter choice. Homeowners may claim the 30 % U.S. Federal Investment Tax Credit (or the Canada Greener Homes Grant if you’re north of the border), plus utility-sponsored net-metering credits that pay retail rate for surplus power sent back to the grid. Our team identifies every municipal, state/provincial, and federal rebate you qualify for and files the paperwork on your behalf.
How long does the entire installation process take?
From signed contract to flipping the switch usually takes 4–8 weeks. The timeline breaks down as follows: (1) design & permitting 2–3 weeks, (2) utility interconnection approval 1–2 weeks, (3) on-site installation 1–3 days for most homes, and (4) final inspection and utility meter swap 1–2 weeks. Commercial projects may take longer depending on utility studies and electrical upgrades. We keep you updated at every milestone through our online customer portal.
What maintenance is required and what support do you provide after installation?
Solar PV systems have no moving parts, so upkeep is minimal. We recommend a quick visual check and optional panel rinse once or twice a year, especially after heavy pollen or snow season. All packages include 24/7 online monitoring: if production drops unexpectedly, our software alerts both you and our service team. We offer three tiers of maintenance plans—from basic phone support to full annual onsite inspections with thermographic imaging—so you can choose the level of coverage that fits your needs.
Can I add battery storage or go completely off-grid?
Yes. We design both grid-tied with battery backup and fully off-grid systems. Adding lithium-ion storage (5–20 kWh for most homes) lets you keep critical loads running during outages and maximize self-consumption. Off-grid designs will include larger battery banks, smart load management, and back-up generators to guarantee reliability through Jasper’s winter months. If you start with a grid-tied system, we size the inverter and wiring so batteries can be added later without re-work.
What warranties and workmanship guarantees do you provide?
Our tier-1 solar panels carry a 25-year performance warranty (guaranteed to produce at least 80-85 % of their rated output after 25 years) and a 12-year product warranty that can be extended to 25 years. String or hybrid inverters are warrantied for 10–12 years, with optional extensions to 25 years. We stand behind our craftsmanship with a 10-year labour warranty that covers roof penetrations, racking, and electrical workmanship. If anything fails under warranty, parts, labour, and shipping are all handled by us at no additional cost to you.
