FAQs
What modern energy solutions do you provide to homes and businesses in Kingston?
We design, supply, and install grid-tied and off-grid solar PV systems, lithium-ion battery storage, Level 2 and Level 3 EV chargers, high-efficiency LED lighting retrofits, and smart-home energy management systems. All solutions are customized to Kingston’s climate, local utility rates, and the latest Ontario Building Code and Electrical Safety Authority (ESA) standards.
How much can I expect to save by adding solar panels to my property?
Savings depend on roof size, orientation, household consumption, and Kingston Hydro’s Time-of-Use rates, but most residential clients offset 60–100 % of their annual electricity usage. A typical 7 kW array saves about $1,300–$1,800 per year and pays for itself in 7–10 years, while commercial rooftops can see returns in as little as 5 years thanks to bulk pricing and tax incentives such as the Accelerated Capital Cost Allowance (CCA).
Do you take care of permits, incentives, and paperwork?
Yes. We handle the entire permitting process, including ESA plan review, Kingston building permits, and utility interconnection applications. Our team also prepares and submits paperwork for the Canada Greener Homes Grant, the federal 30 % Clean Technology ITC (for businesses), and any local rebates so you receive the maximum financial benefit with minimal hassle.
How long does a solar-plus-battery installation usually take from initial consultation to commissioning?
For most homes the timeline is 6–10 weeks: 1 week for site assessment and system design, 2–3 weeks for permitting and utility approval, 1–2 days for on-site installation, and 1–2 weeks for final inspections and the bi-directional meter swap. Supply-chain issues or winter weather can add time, but we keep you informed at every step.
Can you integrate my new energy system with smart-home devices?
Absolutely. We offer energy management platforms that link your solar inverters, batteries, EV chargers, thermostats, and smart plugs into a single app. This lets you schedule high-load appliances during off-peak hours, monitor real-time production and consumption, and receive alerts if your system performance drops.
What warranties and ongoing support do you provide?
Solar modules carry 25- to 30-year performance warranties; inverters and batteries include 10- to 15-year manufacturer warranties. Our workmanship is guaranteed for 5 years, with free on-site service calls in Kingston during that period. We also offer optional remote monitoring and annual maintenance packages to ensure your system operates at peak efficiency for decades.
