FAQs
Why should I choose a tailored solar solution for my home or business in Thorn Hill?
A tailored solar system is custom-designed to match your building’s roof space, energy-use profile, and budget. In Thorn Hill, where sunlight averages 4.1–4.3 peak sun-hours per day, a bespoke design ensures your panels are oriented and sized for maximum production, delivering faster payback and higher long-term savings than off-the-shelf kits.
How much can I expect to save on electricity bills after installing solar?
Most Thorn Hill customers see 50–90 % reductions in their utility bills. The exact savings depend on your current hydro rate, roof orientation, shade levels, and system size. A typical 7 kW residential array can offset roughly 8,000–9,000 kWh per year—about $1,400–$1,600 in annual utility costs at current rates—and pays for itself in 6–9 years while generating free power for 25+ years.
What incentives or rebates are available for solar installations in Thorn Hill?
Ontario homeowners can claim the federal Greener Homes Grant (up to $5,000) plus a 0 % interest Greener Homes Loan (up to $40,000 over 10 years). Businesses may qualify for accelerated CCA tax depreciation and clean-tech investment credits. Our team handles all paperwork, eligibility checks, and application submissions to ensure you capture every available dollar.
What is the installation process and how long does it take?
1) Consultation & site assessment (1–2 days) to analyse electricity bills and roof conditions. 2) System design & quote (3–5 days), including panel layout, production modelling, and ROI projection. 3) Permitting & utility approval (2–4 weeks, managed by us). 4) On-site installation (1–3 days for most homes; 5–7 days for larger commercial arrays). 5) Inspection, interconnection, and monitoring activation (1 week). From contract signing to energization typically spans 4–8 weeks, depending on permit turnaround and weather.
How do I maintain my solar panels, and what kind of warranty do you offer?
Solar PV systems have no moving parts and require minimal maintenance—just occasional visual checks and, if necessary, gentle cleaning to remove debris or heavy snow. We provide a 25-year manufacturer’s performance warranty on panels, 10–12 years on inverters (extendable), and a 10-year workmanship warranty covering roof penetrations, wiring, and mounting hardware. Remote monitoring alerts both you and our service team to any performance issues automatically.
Can I add battery storage or expand my system later?
Yes. We design with future expansion in mind, sizing wiring conduits and selecting inverters that can accept additional panels or battery modules. Popular options like Tesla Powerwall and Enphase IQ Battery are fully compatible with our installations in Thorn Hill. Adding storage lets you shift excess solar power to evenings, protect against outages, and further reduce peak-time hydro costs.
