Essential insights for solar buyers

No loan is required.
The solar system is financed, owned, and maintained by our financing partner during the agreement term. Your business simply purchases the power it generates.

No.
Your site remains fully connected to the utility grid at all times. Solar reduces how much electricity you buy from the grid — it doesn’t replace it.

Not usually — and that’s intentional.

Most systems are designed to offset 40–70% of your annual energy use to remain cost effective and conservative.

You’ll still receive a utility bill, but it will be significantly lower, and a portion of your power will come at a fixed, discounted solar rate.

Yes — very well.

Solar panels perform efficiently in cold climates, and snow typically slides off due to panel tilt and dark surfaces.

Provinces like Ontario, Alberta, and British Columbia all have proven commercial solar performance.

We’ve built in safeguards:

• Monitoring is active 24/7
• Maintenance and repairs are included during the agreement
• Equipment comes with manufacturer warranties
• A back-out option is available within the early years (terms vary by agreement)

Your business is not responsible for performance risk.

During the agreement:

• The financing partner owns the system
• They are responsible for performance, insurance, and maintenance
• At the end of the term:
• The system is typically transferred to you for a nominal amount of $1.00

You then enjoy nearly free power for the remaining life of the system

Commercial solar panels are designed for 30–35+ years of operation.
Most panels carry 25-year performance warranties, and inverters are covered separately depending on system design.

The agreement is transferable to the new owner, subject to standard credit approval.

This is common and handled regularly in commercial solar transactions.

Roof condition is assessed before installation.

Responsibilities for roof repairs or panel removal/reinstallation are clearly defined in the agreement — no surprises.

Minimal disruption.

Most commercial systems are installed with little to no impact on daily operations. Our teams coordinate scheduling to avoid downtime.

From approval to commissioning, timelines typically range from 8–16 weeks, depending on permitting and utility approvals.

We manage the entire process — engineering, permits, interconnection, installation, and commissioning.

Not at all.

The process is fully turnkey. We handle:

• Site evaluation
• Engineering & design
• Permits and utility approvals
• Installation and commissioning

You’ll only be asked for a few documents (primarily utility bills) and signatures.

Generally, businesses qualify if they:

• Have moderate to high electricity usage
• Own or control their building
• Have suitable roof or land area
• Want lower, more predictable energy costs

We offer a free feasibility assessment to confirm eligibility.

Simply share 12 months of electricity bills.

We’ll analyze your usage and show you:

• Expected system size
• Estimated savings
• Your solar rate vs utility rate
• Whether a PPA or lease makes sense

No obligation. As always.
